QuoteYep. God, Eng were awful. They can't have any complaint.
Alls well that ends well.

His last set piece was a bit special!
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Yeah, Pirlo
I'm not the biggest fan of penalties down the centre but I have to concede that was sublime.
It's has it's merits, it is similar to sending the keeper the wrong way, basically you line up
to shoot to the corner then effectively badly slice your shot so it is only a very subtly change in approach.
You would look very silly if you got it wrong and the keeper stood his ground (especially when you side is a penalty down!!).
I don't think I have ever seen a chipped penalty missed but no doubt you tube will show they have been............
...indeed they have!! I bet this guy felt a like a right idiot.

Don't know if there was one in a penalty shoot out in a major competition.

Yann Kermogant missed one in a playoff a few years ago, inspiring this song.
Hodgson generally avoiding any bullets from the media though Graham Taylor has criticised his tactics. Had Capello gone out the same way the press would be livid.
Who cares? The main thing is those untalented bluffers are out.
Jermaine Jenas missed one for Newcastle a few years ago in a penalty shoot out for the Inter-Toto Cup, I remember Bobby Robson lambasting him afterwards because it would have been a trophy for the Toon for the first time since the 50's
Hodgson will regard the failure in that game as not being able to convert those 2 penalties.
Just as he regarded the Fulham team's failure to bring Atletico Madrid to penalties in the Europa final.
I remember this one vividly
Quick pub question for anyone. Does anyone remember the exact name of the Network 2 Football Italia show that was on Monday nights?
Can people stop posting links without some accompanying narrative? Please!

I really enjoyed this article by Sid Lowe in the Guardian describing how Spain plays and how other teams react to it. Though wasn't Spian's tournament high no. of passes 850-something against us - not the 600-odd he mentions?
I didn't realise that they have now gone 8 consecutive knockout games, across 3 tournaments, without conceding a goal.
