PKs

No, not Pastor's Kids; Penalty Kicks.

We finally saw our first match of the World Cup decided by penalty kicks. And poor Switzerland couldn't put a blessed shot in the goal. It's supposed to be easier than that.

Also of note- Switzerland is the first team in history to be eliminated without conceding a goal (the pk's don't count as "goals," per se).

One final note- after the group stage, there were 16 teams left. I correctly picked the 8 teams that would advance to the quarterfinals. (*patting self on back*) I'm pretty amazing, huh!?
