Not much chance of penalties now.
I didn't realize it wasn't sudden death.

Couldn't have done that 2 minutes sooner? 
This is going to be a painful half hour for Algeria.

They got rid of that a while ago, I think because it led to 2 teams turtling so as to not lose immediately rather than anything sensible more often than not.

The conclusion on penalties in that article seems stupid. One of the biggest things about penalties is that it only takes 6 people on each side, of which 1 is by far the most important. It's a lot harder to get 11 great players in a small football country than 6, you can also practice penalties much easier especially as a keeper.
edit: who gets to start is the biggest crapshoot as there's significantly more pressure on the team going second.

The conclusion is that going to penalties reduces the edge a favorite team might have, how is that stupid? That's more or less what you're saying isn't it? No team really has an edge with penalties.

It's stupid because the "favorite" has already drawn with the other team, hence mitigating the perceived advantage they had. This has to happen to get to penalties. Oh, the "better" team scores in extra time more, but when they don't score in extra time they don't seem to have an advantage in penalties? HOW ODD! It's almost like they played to a tie with the other team over 120 minutes first before we got to this determining point they seem closer to even at.
For this to have any meaning teams would have to shoot penalties in every game. *That* showing this sort of data would be interesting. This isn't.

The word "crapshoot" in the title, which is false. The Netherlands and Germany are good examples of this as Germany almost always wins in penalties and the Netherlands almost always loses.
Aww man, I feel sorry for the Algerians now.
Oh, Zee Germans.
I'm terribly excited for the potential metaphors available when they play France.

Hah! Deserved goal for Algeria.
Yeah glad to see them get that, as hard as they fought this game.

Oh please, let's not start some sort of phoney war.
I hope the French win the game and get a few decent fouls off on Muller.

I know, I know. On the other hand, the US might have to go through Belgium and the Netherlands to get TO Germany. It's ALL BACKWARDS!

Sucks to be you then.
And I'm curious how Switzerland is going to do against Argentine. They're # 6 and 5 on the FIFA world rankings so technically it should be a close match.

Probably be close until Messi gets space. They've done a good job so far, but I still think the 75/25 money odds are probably about right.

I think Switzerland has a good chance if they can score first and lean back a little making it very difficult for Messi while giving Shaqiri all the space in the world. The longer it takes for anyone to score the bigger the chance of a single moment from Messi deciding the entire game.

Also, massive Swiss failure in the 1 on 1 with the keeper... that has to be a goal.
"Hey, what did you do today?"
"Oh, nothing much. Just about got shot."
I've got one person picking up leaves one at a time, one person sorting them by color, and another guy counting each and every leaf. Needless to say, I'm a little ticked that I can't watch the game.

Sometimes I wish I could see the big picture overhead shot throughout a game. It would be really interesting in terms of positioning and tactics.
