I think that the NFL is pretty close right now. College football's overtime is a joke.

That'll be great, if he can go full speed. Our strikers are doing so poorly that he'll be asset even at 3/4. I found it interesting against Germany was that, even with their powerful attack, couldn't score except on a set piece. Our defense has grown up. Now if we could just generate some offense...
Yes - this is the most physical game that I have seen thus far in this World Cup.
Both teams are still sprinting up and down the field, challenging every possession by every player and pressuring on both sides of the ball. The players still look fresh. Either these are the two best conditioned teams in the World Cup, or the temp/humidity is much improved for this game.
The host stadium in Minas Gerais.
I just checked and it says that it is currently 81 degrees there. That is pretty warm for this type of activity, but the humidity is only 32%.

two 15 minute periods. Only go to a shootout if it is still tied at that point.
Two 15 minute halves of OT. If it's still tied after that, shootout.
I'll bet somebody scores in the OT if we get there.
The problem is if you didn't use penalty kicks and kept playing the winning team would be so exhausted that they would almost certainly lose the next game. And the hockey games, I've watched that go into triple or quadruple overtime usually are decided by a garbage goal that bounce off somebodies backside or skate into their own goal. So while not ideal, its probably the best option for teams that are that evenly matched.
Love how Mexico is staying aggressive. If we get a lead we need to play like this instead of going so conservative.
