To think Boca almost meme-won the libertadores playing like absolute shit and having a god-tier PK keeper.

The coach at 1-1 and the stupid red card at 1-2 to leave them 10v10 really fucked the momentum to get to a PK shootout though.

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.
