England is out too. (edit: with a loss or tie with Costa Rica this weekend)
What I'm saying is, if you jump into the air with your legs dangling, another guy who also jumps will crash into you, possibly headbutting, slamming your torso, or taking your legs out from under you. If you jump with you legs pulled up and flailing, the other guy who jumps at you will pay the price by eating foot or knee.
I'm not saying it's ok that he acts out and gets violent. I'm just saying I understand why he does. There's too much flopping and diving in this sport that it's ruining the game.
