If England and Italy met in a penalty shoot-out, who'd win?

The penalty shoot-out of course.Originally Posted by Charlie Darwin
Not if you were there...
You are joking?
Really enjoyable. Sickened by the end result. The penalties were top drawer. Unreal.
Are you watching Mick McCarthy?
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
I had the important matter of the LC to complete, which I've yet to use in life...
Not sure it was an exciting game as some here suggested. The 1st was good, but the rest of the game was not great, the players were hammered as a result of the hot conditions. The penalties were top class, a good way to end an laborious game.
I think this tournament highlights the problem that Euro teams will have in Brazil next summer, they are going to struggle really badly due to the hot weather. We saw Italy struggle in their group despite qualifying but when they played a Euro team, they performed better as Spain themselves succumbed to the conditions, we also saw that against Nigeria. They may get away with it after 2/3 games, but it is a massive ask for a Euro team to perform in 7 games to win this competition next summer. Do we really want to see Ireland qualify?, cause it could be worse than the Euro's !!
Don't worry;with the present incumbent there's no chance...
In all seriousness, good point about potential conditions but the European 'Latin' teams should be used to this.
I'd rather qualify and lose all our games than not qualify at all. The legions of navel-gazers who think otherwise can do one as far as I'm concerned.
I'm with Charlie on this one.
Think of all the optimism/excitement everyone would have in the lead up, well maybe not ArdeeBhoy...
I'd be excited!
If it happened...
1-0 brazil.. some start.. unreal atmosphere
great goal line clearance by luiz there.. first real chance for spain and its taken 40mins
what a goal by neymar!! 2-0
Good game, good performance by Brazil. One major criticism is apparently lenient reffing in their favour?
But Spain looked fairly ropey tonight.
Failing to send off two Spain defenders?
Brazil were immense, but Spain were awful in equal measure. The Spanish FA need to look at giving the players a real rest before the World Cup - they have flogged them to death.
Not even a consolation goal for Spain last night, when things go wrong, they go all the way wrong. That was an utterly dominant performance by Brazil.
Not a bad tournament and a taster of what Brazil will be like at the WC with that fanatical crowd behind them, no need for the vuvuzela there.
Meant more, lenient reffing throughout the whole tournament...
And the Brazilians must play almost as much football as the Spanish. This is now an aging team which at some point will start to unravel full stop.
I can only think of Casillas and Xavi that are over 30 from the team that started last night so wouldn't call them ageing really. It's only 1 result really so I wouldn't go overboard they're still a class team. Brazil I think were really fired up for it and the extra wear from their semi final against Italy seemed to take its toll.
