Not even when home, could they close the deal. What a bunch of tossers.
Seen it done. I really don't understand why pen takers persist in hitting them low when so many of them are saved. Moaned about this since God was a boy. That keeper was 6ft 7" and easily covered the posts. Didn't have a prayer with the high shots though. Perhaps footballers are just too thick to work it out. As for Southgate, despite England's good run I really don't rate him. Too many shades of Cooper for me. He's cautious, defence minded and got what he asked for tonight. Italy easily the better team in so many ways.So @ivoralljack ... is it physically possible to take a penalty with a 3 yard run up ... and score, with a keeper there.
Harry Maguire's penalty was really good. Top corner.I really don't understand why pen takers persist in hitting them low when so many of them are saved.
he was out maneuvered by Mancini every step of the way.Seen it done. I really don't understand why pen takers persist in hitting them low when so many of them are saved.
