Penalty shootouts often feel random because a single kick can decide a match, but research and decades of elite football suggest they're far from mere luck. They combine technical skill, psychology, strategy, and probability.

Hey ....in case no one noticed.... Canada made it thru to the next round , and play Morroco on Saturday.....will this be as far as they will go..... Too sad Netherlands and Germany lost on penalties !!! Indeed sad we're out :( Certainly on penalties. I never like that however thrilling it may be to watch. Good you're still in the game! If the match is at a doable time for me I may watch it :) Personally I don't see why you wouldn't/couldn't win from Morocco. Everyone was yapping how much better and stronger their team was compared to the Dutch. And yet they couldn't win by making it 2-1, had to rely on penalties for that. (I always regard penalties a bit as pot luck, hihi) Then me's thinking, "Not so much stronger then, huh?!" [/quote Canada plays at 1pm ET Saturday....it will be a tuff game ...Morroco are used to the heat....and we are having a heat wave at this moment.. Just like England had a hard time against Congo...but settled down and won ... Only to set up in Mexico against Mexico...worse playing conditions... Go Canada Go...!!!! |

Ah, 1PM ET is 19.00 here (7PM) so that is certainly a good time to watch it :) Hopefully the heat is going to be bearable. Certainly won't help... They didn't really choose great places to play, did they?! |
