The big kick-off is later today and if a S. American country does not win I forecast a win for Germany.

Scientists cannot be left behind and psychologists have analysed the science of penalty taking. I wonder how much this study cost to come to the conclusion that focusing on where to place the ball rather than on the goal keeper is the way to do it. It will not come as much of revelation to even any junior school coach!!

But let’s hope that penalties are not too decisive a factor.
