No, but it's still an unsatisfactory end to a complete game - a game that involves way more than taking set up kicks at a goal. I think of it this way - if the entire game was a penalty kick contest would it be interesting? No. A championship game should be played until completion, be it an extra 30 minutes or 3 hours.

 

Agreed. The penalty kicks are a super lame way to end a great game. I'm no soccer buff, but somebody told me that they used to keep playing until someone finally scored, but ended that two world cups ago? It'd be way more exciting to see these guys run themselves into the ground and see who has the most stamina and skill to finally come out on top.

 

The Zidane headbutt was awesome! I have more respect for the french now.
