Soft-spoken Malik Tillman delivers a loud statement with his bloody sock goal at the World Cup‎

Malik Tillman is soft-spoken off the field with his interviews often given at a volume just above a whisper. Tillman celebrated the biggest moment of his young career with a smile and a scream as he ran to celebrate with his teammates in front of the large contingent of American fans at Levi’s Stadium. Tillman showed off his bloody sock — perhaps the most famous in American sports lore since Curt Schilling's in the 2004 baseball playoffs for the Boston Red Sox — after the game, saying he was still in a bit of pain.
