Both teams now are pretty much playing the same tactics and slowing the game down. Becoming painful to watch.

This is why penalties must go at least in semi finals and finals.

How ever I decide it I'm sure you would come up with a humdinger of an argument to prove it wrong. ;)

Am I right?

Come on Mark you're being childish now.

He would have them play extra time over and over until finally there is a winner. If the players knew that was there fate they would play far more positive knowing that they would be spent for the finals.

Wow Messi made a mess of that free kick.

I honestly don't think either of these sides can even come close to Germany. Extra time will play right into the Germans hands after their training session against Brazil.

So let e guess,Van Gall is going to keep one of his 3 subs for penalties. :dunno

If I'm right then I could be a world cup manager. :P

I'd love to see it back fire on him.

If Holland reached the final and that went to penalties. How would their regular keeper feel having given his all throughout the tournament only to see Krul (as a sub) save the penalty that wins Holland the WC and he gets all the glory?
