Van Persie’s diving header did not require nearly as much skill as Cahill’s goal on the volley.

Me too. I'm an ex-keeper, but I hate when I see GKs doing that crap. Just play the game.

Volleying seems to be a lost art this World Cup.
It’s frustrating to see how many times there have been balls played in that were tailor-made for volleys, only to be trapped and then ultimately broken up by the defenders.

At the world cup level, there just isn’t time to knock the ball down and then have a good opportunity to shoot in the penalty area.

Germany out to down Neymar-less BrazilJoachim Loews Germany want to avenge their 2002 final defeat to Brazil by knocking the Selecao out in Belo Horizonte to reach Sundays final in Rio de Janeiro.
Brazil have been forced into a reshuffle through the absences of playmaker Neymar and suspended captain Thiago Silva as they look to realize the dream of claiming their sixth title on home soil.

Brazil really showing some desperation with the Silva yellow card appeal. It was certainly legite IMHO.
