I appreciate soccer more than I used to, but I still find the penalty kick concept absurd. Soccer must be the only sport where ties are decided by playing a completely different game.

Imagine if a baseball game ended in a tie after nine, so they decided it with a home run derby.

Or if a basketball game were tied in reg, so they decided it by shooting free throws.

Or if a golf tournament ended in a tie, to be decided on the practice green by a putting contest.

Game result

I noticed that one of Morocco’s penalty kickers (Benoun) was a guy who only played the final seconds of the half-hour extra time. Obviously he is just a penalty kick specialist, and he was chosen to go second in the shoot-out. (That isn’t what decided the game. Ironically, he was the only one of their penalty kickers to miss!)

Spain did the same thing with Sarabia. He played only the final two minutes of the extra time, but was the very first shooter in the pen kicks.

New Japanese series. Now on Netflix. A quick scan through the show reveals some gorgeous aesthetics, but I don’t have time to watch the series, so I can’t say whether it is worthwhile. IMDb nerds love it (8.4).

I don’t know anything about Kily. She is not an important character in this series, and she has no other credits at IMDb.

Here’s the link.

The scene you’re looking for, that is to say this one,

… begins at 04:15. She stays in that outfit for about six minutes.

Also in the same collection, if you need a few guffaws, is Satan’s School For Girls (1973, made for TV) – with Pamela Franklin, Cheryl Ladd and Kate Jackson. Roy Thinnes (of The Invaders fame) plays Satan. Nobody gets naked.

Brainscan’s notes:

Rob Guinto reappears in Showroom, with the luminous Quinn Carrillo. Whereas Quinn looks unamused in her boffing scenes, Rob appears very enthusiastic. BTW, Rob sports a tattoo that is a quote straight from the New Testament. Soooo, does watching a scene of hers count as Bible study? Going to guess most folks in the Philippines would vote no.
