You can't lose if you don't miss. If you miss you might not reach the 5th taker. Alan Shearer was England's #9 at the time and was in the programme swearing blind that the best tactic was for him to hammer home the first kick. I'm trying to recall but I think they analysed how the players' bodies reacted as the shoot out progresses (heart rate, breathing etc.) and evaluated that the stress levels experienced increased with every kick up to sudden death, whereas the penalty accuracy averages decreased. The conclusion was that a less skilful player was more likely to miss later in the shootout. Interesting programme IIRC, however two decades on and England are still shite at penalties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 2-0 down and Mexico constantly attacking. Thoroughly enjoying this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably only did it once, but it stuck in my head as something he did every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Sanchez misses a sitter at one end, then only moments later a Chilean defender has a brain fart allowing Germany to go 1-0 up. Football, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I hate to praise Glen Hoddle but he did well in politely contradicting Captain Mainwaring Tyldesley who was trying to belittle the Chile team as he's in full Little Englander mode tonight and jealous as f**k his beloved England are shit.

Jambomo Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 It's interesting that they mention Germany devaluing the tournament by playing a B team. I wish Scotland had an A team as good as their B team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
