Heard the end of overtime on the radio and caught all the PKs at the house. I was pulling for Uruguay mostly to avenge the USA's exit, but I wouldn't wish that type of exit on anyone.

To miss a PK on the last play is painful, but add on their captain missing another in the shootout only to be saved by a horrible Uruguay shot, and lastly a young Ghanaian misses his PK and the team is out. That is the definition of heartache!

It was a great game from both teams but the last moments of extra time was a huge drama. I think that Gyan of Ghana will remember for the rest of his life that unfortunate miss on the last second of the ET.
It was all the same to me who won this game, as both teams played well and from both it was a sort of a victory to get this far, but penalty kick finish is too cruel ending. Great game afterall. Real drama.

Legendary stuff that will be remembered and talked about for years to come in the respective countries.
Drama and controversy. This match had it all. Long live "the beautiful game".

This is true at least for 5 Brazil fans from Bangladesh who didn't want to live no more after seeing Netherlands beat Brazil

Somewhat of a boring ending competitively, but exciting if you're German. Argentina had a few chances and they all ended either with too many passes or uninspired shots. Germany was clearly the better team and they opened the floodgates at the end. If Spain wins later today then we'll have a rematch of Euro '08.

When group play started it was all about Messi, Ronaldo, Robinho and Rooney. Now the likes of Klose, Sneijder, Villa and Forlan are taking center stage trying to become heroes for their respective countries.

yeah i think it will be a rematch, that was an absolute schooling by the young german team.

Speaking of flips, Klose had a nice one in celebration after that last goal!

Another dramatic game with two stopped PKs! Even the lone goal by David Villa had to hit both posts before crossing the line.

Germany vs. Spain on Wednesday in a rematch of the Euro '08 final. Looking forward to it. Go España!
