Nothing beats the drama and tension of extra time and if no winner the match ultimately decided by the legendary penalty shoot out. Hold out better team and force penalty shoot out worked for Chile but so close for US and Switzerland against stronger opponents in Belgium and Argentina. When you are down to a penalty shoot out it is a 50-50 chance and the advantages the other team may have had during open play are erased.
