The unofficial World Cup Thread,

Penalties suck. There has to be a better way.

Well, one has had 120 minutes to have done something about it. Teams shouldn't cry too much for losing on penalties. Even if fortuna does claim her role, it is not all a matter of (bad) luck, neither for ending up with penalties, nor for losing them.

I must say that as a neutral, or even as invested party, I rather like penalties. It's very tense and dramatic.
