He was indeed excellent, but I did think maybe he got lucky landing this game, England and USA, while certainly not above any nonsense, are two of the least likely teams at the WC to indulge in cheating and histrionics, especially with England in full sleepwalking mode, they hardly had a tackle in them, never mind a dirty one.
