Paredes played the entire second half and extra time; didn't seem to make much of a difference.  I did think it was odd that Martinez, who had goals against Switzerland and England, didn't get put in.  But I think the strategy, especially after going a man down, was to play for penalties.  They almost pulled it off too, and the way Dibu was playing, you would have liked their chances in a penalty shootout.
