It seems funny to me that no-one has mentionned that we played all the group stages without a single penalty awarded.

It's taken until the 2nd quarter final to get one (Greece's 2nd).

Has this ever happened before?

    Oooops. I'd forgotten about that because they missed it.

    Perhaps I should edit the post to:
