Is there some new FIFA bylaw that states if your goal keeper is black, he must be bald with a full beard?

It's not the goals that make it intense, but rather the chances. If a 0-0 game had a bunch of chances in it, it was probably amazing to watch. Sure, a tie is never satisfying but the good thing about knock-out stage is that there are no ties.
National pride on the line. Dudes laying out everything they have on that field. Great skill and drama. If one doesn't like that, one can go **** himself.

I love the super low-scoring game that soccer brings. If there were scores every 5 minutes then we wouldn't see the celebrations that they bring. Crowds go nuts.

I've described it before as akin to sex. The slow buildup and then BOOM! Many people can't handle delayed gratification. That is why they don't 'get' the sport.

Nice save. I generally think GKs are coddled too much but that was a foul on ARG.

Soccer is wonderful from the first second. Like foreplay.

Tense. Love that these guys are going to extras maybe they rack up a few suspension worthy yellow cards along the way.

I was thinking something along the same line. I was hoping this one would go to extra time and get them a bit more worn out in case the US wins. I don't know how much the extra 30 minutes would mean in 4 days, but it certainly won't be beneficial.
