Yes, you are right. I now see my mistake. I now agree that Sweden
totally dominated the play and should have scored at least ten goals.
I now uderstand the wisdom of the original post:

Yes, indeed, Sweden lost only because:
1. Podolski was credited with the goal, which should instead have been
credited to Sweden as a brilliant self-goal. Thus, instead of 2-0, the
score would have been 1-1.
and
2. The damn ref was breathing, which distracted the Swede from scoring
on the penalty shot. It's all ref's fault.

Incredible facts!
And as a penalty for these crimes, the ref should be shot himself.
Would you guys like some cheese with your whine?
