Nil-Nil at the end of regulation

This is the third time in the last five WCs that we've gone to Extra Time (hopefully not another 0-0 tie like in '94).  In the first three minutes, good non-call by the ref as one ESP player dives, one runs into a NED player, and Xavi kicks a NED player.  The lack of goals has kept things status quo for those involved in tiebreakers.  Remember, only goals scored in Extra Time count... no PK shootout goals count.  Not a good sign that neither team has ever scored a goal in Extra Time in the WC.

 95': ESP's Fabregas misses a point blank opportunity.  I think if he would've passed it, it may have been offsides so good decision with the shot.  Great save.  NED then nearly scores on a CK.

98': Another great chance by ESP... it's like ESP is afraid of passing the ball and this time they don't even get a shot off as NED's Giovanni Van Bronckhorst stops the play.
