They dominated the first half and into the 2nd half, but they just couldn't manage to get one past the Swedish goalkeeper who played one heck of a game.

That said, I really wish there was a way to decide a winner other than penalty kicks.

Yeah I was cheering for Sweden but a win by penalty kicks is disappointing regardless of outcome.

Whats wrong with penalty kicks

I don't like them either. Soccer is a game based on the combination of individual skill, team work, and strategy. To progress or be eliminated in a world championship based on PKs is really just about individual skill (and some strategy?), and it feels like a letdown or less legitimate for me personally.

The games are already so long anyway, but I do wish they would go into overtime instead, similar to the NHL playoffs.
