You obviously missed Paraguay's games in the 98 WC! They had Chilavert and clearly held out for penalties, an overtime/golden goal by Laurent Blanc finally sent them home to the collective sigh then cheers of planet earth.

I hate teams that think they can hold on defensively for 90 minutes. It's just stupid to invite 90 minutes of chances on your goal.

I really hate that when Liverpool is playing weaker teams and they park it in from of the goal for 90 mins that Liverpool can only manage to get a draw, while Chelsea and man u will eventually score a goal and take all 3 points.

I don't, ok, I hate it when Chelski takes 3 points, but I love it when Man U wins.

DF, Surely you remember Van Gaal's Ajax side of the middle 90s? They could break down any 11 man bunker put up in front of them. They would patiently stroke the ball outside to middle to out to mid to out to mid.... about 25-35 yards out. As soon as the defense was sufficiently hypnotized they made an incision and scored, seemingly at will.

I miss that team
