Yes, Argentina was doing the soccer version of the "Prevent Defense." And as we all know the only thing that it prevents is winning.

True. On offense, in American football, you just run the ball instead of passing in to not stop the clock on an incompletion. We (Auburn) do that quite a bit with much success. I do hate the prevent (rush 3) defense though.....

Germany are a sickening team. Now we face the specture of such a pile of old pooh getting to the final two World Cups running.

It's hard to know who to hate more - Germany or Italy. Hopefully, the underdogs of Ukraine can sneak into the final instead.

Germany in their 15th penalty shoot-out of which they've won...14. Not bad!!

You around for England/Portugal?
