Yawn

You know the World Cup is in a bit of a lull when even penalty shootouts are boring. The Swiss created a record of sorts, being the first team to be knocked out of a World Cup without conceding a goal. Pity they weren't as good at putting it in the back of the net, though.

For all the exciting play we have seen in the tournament - and there has been plenty of it - there have been a disproportionate number of goalless draws (6 in total). Let's hope there are no more from here, especially not in tomorrow's matches. France vs. Spain and Brazil vs. Ghana. Both promise to be classics.
