Brainstorm Bits - Argentina vs Germany
A good third of the conference is outside crowded around a TV watching this great match.
It looked like Argentina was going to win and then Germany scored on a brilliant header late in the match. These guys are Germany fans celebrating the goal. I had to leave to catch a flight home before the shootout. I see that Germany won 4-2 in the shootout. I hate to see such a hard fought match like that one come down to a shootout but they had to end it. The players were running out of gas.


Except the real treat is now, with us dominating at Ukraine´s expenses. Perfect application of our game style: score 1 goal, defend, don´t let them shoot, counterattact.
Go Italy!

I actually like when a game end with a shootout. It is a demonstration of character, training and great deal of luck.

I agree with Rogel. I like a good shootout. It's a total gear shifting, high pressure, singular moment of greatness or failure type deal. I specially enjoyed yesterdays, I like watching Argentinian men cry.
