I certainly will get over it. I've gotten over all those shoot-out losses since 1990 and the last second loss in the Euro 2000.

Maybe Italy didn't have a great team. Maybe they wouldn't have won the WC. One thing is for sure though, with Italy out of the way it leaves the door wide open for the Brazilians to make it five in a row. I wonder if Moreno (the Ref) has any wealthy friends in Brazil, hmmmmm?????????????/

If i may change the subject - What's the deal with going to penalty kicks to break a tie? It turns a team sport into individual contests. That's not right!

Imagine if NBA games got decided by free throw contests, or NFL games by field goal contests. Why can't they keep playing until someone scores?
