I really dont care who wins on Sunday but based on these semi-finals Germany has to be a pretty big favorite.
One more thing..... Deciding a semi final game in the WC by 5 penalty kicks just seems so wrong.
This.
I really don't have a problem with deciding games on penalties, at least when it comes to soccer. Each team has 2 hours and plenty of opportunities to win the match. If it doesn't happen, the game has got to end. At that point these guys have probably ran close to 10 miles, some of that in full sprint, while throwing their bodies around and taking hard tackles. It's a physically draining game to play.
Here's the solution: allow off-sides in extra time and make it sudden death.
Just like American Football!
oh please tell me you barely make decisions in your life, that's not a "solution"
hey guys, here's an idea for overtime in NFL playoffs: allow false starts!
