It reminded me of a certain night when Germany were pushing up to the the half way line at kick outs owing to having scouted Shay Given's weakness at kicking, and continuing to do so after Given was carried off and replaced by Darren Randolph. Even after Randolph demonstrated he had a foot like a traction engine they kept at it and only learned the lesson after Shane Long scored the goal that broke Scottish hearts.
