I've been a bit surprised by this to be honest.. I guess I figured on the world's biggest stage FIFA might crack down on the conduct but I've seen several punches, kicks and hissy fits go completely unchecked (things that would normally get booked if caught).
Dempsey got quite clearly elbowed/punched in the Slovenia game and nothing came of it.. that's just my freshest memory but there's many more.
