More World Cup v. ESPN

So I watched the Italy v. Australia game today which was an alright game as a whole. It ended awesomely though with a penalty kick in the 94th minute (which is actually listed 90th minutes since it was in stoppage time). So I turn to ESPNews after the game because I am bored and they show "highlights" from the game. I put that in quotations since all they showed was the final shot and the stupid bitch who was describing it said the shot was in the "75th minute" This is a joke, we are in the round of 16 and you just spent 30 seconds describing a game that ended on a penalty shot. Also don't dumb down or confuse the simple viewers by calling the quarterfinals "the elite eight"

Also from watching the world cup, soccer players are, for the most part, pretty tough but I have never seen a sport where flopping is rewarded so much and refs are almost as terrible as in the NBA.
