It's a point system ,no need for rocket science .There are shoot outs in some games put not in a tournament of this nature .If people remember the US women vs China in the world cup .

Just to clarify. There are shoot outs in the 2nd stage of the World Cup. Any game in the 2nd stage will be decided by penalty kicks.

Watching that video brings me back to that moment. Such a historic moment for that women's team and Chastain's image with jersey off is iconic.

Truth be told. Watch the women's soccer team is much more enjoyable. They usually are favorites to win....lol There loss to Japan in the last World Cup title game was heart breaking. Lost the same way they beat China. (via penalty kicks)

FIFA Women's World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Women%27s_World_Cup#All-time_performance)

One of the best teams in the world when it comes to the women's side of it. Men...step your game up!

If you are a Brazilian player right now you have to be feeling the pressure.

Quick correction: NHL no longer has ties adopting the shootout.

What a first match of the knockout stage! Chilé definitely deserved the win, but as the USMNT discovered against Portugal, the fútbol gods are cruel and fickle.

Poor Mexico, just can't shake that knockout stage curse. Controlled the game for the most part until the 88th minute, then it all fell apart.

I really like their coach,tough match

The extra time in this Greece/Costa Rica game is entertaining. Greeks have had opportunity after opportunity and have been denied every time. I still can't believe they blew that 5 on 2 attack on the goal. Now onto penalty shots!

Go USA , hopefully will be on the way home when this kicks off......or still at work with OT .:doh:

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

Key today is consistency. Belgium has the talent to take advantage of even the smallest mistakes. Keep it clean, smart passes, and attack when the opportunities present themselves, and they've got a puncher's chance. After seeing Algeria take Germany to extra time, anything is possible!

Also, Jozy may be available. I don't expect him to start, but perhaps come in around the 75th minute as a "spark," if they need one.
