Mastroeni's tackle was horrific, though I'd like to see it a few more times before saying it definitely wasn't a red. The legs weren't high, but he went with both feet and was nowhere near the ball. Not 100% certain on that decision.
Keller didn't have much chance of saving the goal, his back four utterly failed him with their marking, but USA's equaliser was richly deserved since they've been going forward very well. With ten men a-piece though, if Marcello Lippi gives a good enough team-talk at half time, the Italians should be able to wrestle control of the game back and take the victory. Still, after the Czech Republic vs Ghana match, I'm not ruling ANYTHING out XD
