I was :D

First time in many years that I miss a Juve-Milan. Watched only from 80th minute on.
I watched Troy instead :p
You too? I had the veetle stream running and Troy on the TV. Shows the quality of the game when a shirtless Brad Pitt kicking ass is more interesting. :D

We're dooooooomed.

I only saw the penalty shootout (I missed the first kicks). Pretty nice shots by everyone.
Pepe's wasn't so good. He fooled the keeper, but if he hadn't it's the exact position where a keeper is most likely to save it.

As a matter of fact I'm surprised that players don't shoot high, because I've never seen a keeper even try for that. And even if he did there's no way he can get there in time if you shoot up and to the side, it's 100% secure.

So why don't they just do that all the time? I guess their shooting isn't good enough lol

Yeah, they're afraid of skying it if they shoot high, whereas a low and accurate shot leaves it completely up to the keeper.

On the other hand, you have badasses like Diego who hit unstoppable penalties like today's.

Yeah, Diego's was excellent. That's the next best thing, if you're afraid of shooting high then practice hitting the side netting.
