That kind of game is the one reason I can't ever really get into it... a free kick, penalty kick, and the ridiculousness of watching goalies randomly dive one way or the other with almost no chance... going from 10 shots on goal in 120+ minutes to having a 90% chance (or whatever) of scoring.
The game yesterday was worth watching though, a few goals while actually playing soccer. [Reply]

Yup. It's brutal when one team parks a bus in their penalty box and just hangs on for PKs. [Reply]
