After Italy (and even before) most renowned teams had to leave the world. It went all the South American, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay's national except but had lots and lots of luck. However, on 4 teams remaining, three are European. Some may say that European football is more than South America. Statements like this are very easy in hindsight. Nobody would have thought before. And the rest competition is for this reason, measure the forces at work (and luck, or the inability of the arbitrators are the things that many times). In any event, from Ghana - Uruguay can learn some things that may seem obvious, but are not always, from the perspective of those who suffer a penalty is better than a goal. In all conditions, but especially at the 122 th minute, when the goal could mean losing everything and not likely to rely on a penalty that is not converted into goals. Well, even a low probability of escape is better than the certainty of losing everything. And so an attacker suddenly goalkeeper, blocks a shot on the goal line with one arm, commits one of the most blatant foul you can do in football, and he gets contemporanemeante penalty against expulsion. But not the goal. Manca little, he says. So it is likely that a penalty goal to become one of the verbs used in Italian is to transform, change form to something that in essence remains the same. A penalty and a goal are the same thing.
Almost.
But the transformation does not happen. The miracle is the case, for the fans Uruguayans in silence. The wood (wood doors are still?), Then holy cross, preventing the ball entering the net (or the player misses the target, depending on your point of view). The penalty is not a goal. End of proof. At 122 °
minute, the striker has not thought too much, he parried with his arm and he caught the penalty and ejection. You can not know if he thought we were finished extra time, he reasoned that if a penalty is better than a goal. You probably did not think of anything he just instinctively and without thinking desperately stretched his arm but he saved his team.
Against all the odds.
