It’s like Paraguay in the 2011 Copa America. It really is a disservice to the game to win a tournament every stage in penalties

Like i get it’s a part of the game but if a World Cup team were to win every knockout round by penalties there would be a change in the rules. Hell croatia went to ET every stage until finally getting exposed by the French.

I don't agree. It's not exactly easy to pull those off, if you're so defensively goood that can pull it off more power to you. Eventually others figure out a way and you'll be pulled down a few pegs.

What the fuck are you comparing lol Paraguay actually was a solid team back then, they knew how to control the intensity of the game and went toe to toe against everyone but Uruguay. And Croatia had the best midfield in the World Cup and played some top class football.

At least learn how to watch a game man. Not every team that goes through on penalties or close results is bad, that's just us.

“Disservice to the game” When nations that are relative minnows dare to have success once every generation lol
