“It is accepted soccer religion that no one wants to see a game decided by penalty kicks. Yet it is also soccer law that if certain matches remain tied after 120 minutes of play, that is exactly what will happen. Beginning today with the World Cup’s round of 16, when one match determines who advances and who is knocked out, that law takes effect.” (Vanity Fair)
