Did that British announcer just say something akin to God was on the side of Brazil today? Why would God choose Brazil over Chile? What would be his reasoning?

Do actual soccer fans hate penalty kicks as much as I do? Pretty sure I'd lose my mind if any sport I liked was decided in such an absurd manner.

Yeah, after two 15 minutes periods, a shootout is ok. You could see how tired the players were. Although, I think they need to do something that increases the likelihood of scoring during those two periods, like relax the offsides rule somehow.

that's why they're called penalty kicks - both teams are being penalized for not being able to settle the game after 120+ minutes

I hate PKs, and I hate shootouts in hockey.

Thank god basketball and football don't throw in that kind of bullshit to settle games.

What would the NFL equivalent be? Each team has one play at the goal line to score?

Before the rule change to PKs, when they just played on and on, sucked worse than PKs. There's just no perfect way to decide an elimination game/match that ends in a tie. Who wanted to watch more soccer the way they played the last 30 minutes?

Who cares if they are tired, get back out there. I would rather see the game decided on sheer athleticism or force of will by one team.

something would eventually give

there would at least be incentive to make your moves earlier instead of playing keep away like a bitch for 30 minutes

One offensive player (with ball) vs one defensive plsyer from the 10 yard line.

5 times w/ different players. Most TDs wins.

The Last Of Us season 2 could run through 4 seasons with a shorter season 2 and a "much larger" season 3. No padding or filler expected.
