Well, it's just what Brazil wouldn't want now: A penalty shootout. Paraguay, on the other hand, are presumably pretty happy about this - they've got a 50/50 chance of advancing out of a quarterfinal where they were thoroughly overmatched by their opponents. Can Justo Villar keep his streak of ridiculously good saves going? Will Julio Cesar be able to stay focused after having virtually nothing to do all game? Who'll be the goat, and who'll be the heroes?
