The U.S. Women's Under-20 World Cup soccer team, which won the World Cup last time, lost to Nigeria in penalty kicks in the quarterfinals.
The penalty kick controversy, with two U.S. saves waved off, shows why soccer needs something besides PKs to finish a match.
USA Falls To Nigeria in Penalty Kicks During Quarterfinal of 2010 FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup
In 2006, the U.S. U-20 women lost on PKs in the semis to China, and to Brazil on PKs in the 3rd-place game.
Both of those games were 0-0 in regulation.
Not very entertaining. At least in the game against Nigeria this time, there were 55 shots.
