Germany vs. Argentina - Wonderful game, too bad it ended with a shootout

I really enjoyed this game, The first half was probably less interesting with most of the playing happening in the midfield, but the second period.....
I am glad Argentina scored first because it really opened up the game. Boths sides played great attacking soccer. If Germany had scored first, they would have shutdown into a defensive wall, which Argentina is just not capable of. Wonderful chances on both sides. Klinsman has to talk to his defense though, very poor passing at the back giving many of the Argentinian opportunities.
All in all an exciting game.
This also marks the point that our pool has it's first 2 eliminations (where the potential points of the player is exceeded by the actual points of another player).
Good luck and enjoy the next game.
By the way does anyone know what happens if the goaltender comes off the line before the penalty kick is hit?
