Would be surprised if he is in the first 5 after missing v Colombia in WC and missing one in the warm up games.

Snowflake Royal I know our side of the draw looks easier, but I don't exactly fancy our chances against:
Germany
Netherlands
Wales
Denmark
Sweden

Snowflake RoyalSilver FoxSnowflake Royal Portugal, France and Germany are all beatable.
Not by England though
England could certainly beat Portugal. Germany aren't the force they were and France have struggled for goals so far.
Italy are the only team I think is a guaranteed loss if we go for it. Our problem against scotland was we just didn't try to win.

Snowflake Royal Yeah, one of the most senior players, vice captain(?), never scored for England but desperate to?
He'll volunteer

NathStPaul I've always blamed the players who would have been better at taking penalties but didn't step up rather than the players who missed who shouldn't have been taking them in the first place. Southgate at Euro 96 is an example, shouldn't have been near taking a penalty at that stage. "Hard man" Paul Ince was sat on the floor facing away from the penalties when he should have been stepping up to take one. Sure there have been numerous other examples down the years,

Though Ince missed against Argentina 2 years later.

If the 'keeper saves it, fair enough. Professional footballers should not be missing the target from a dead-ball situation from 12 yards out.

Hendo I'm already getting hyped for the game on Tuesday. Was a bit meh for the group games, serious shit now.

Absolutely. Anyone right down to Sunday league plodders and kids footballers can kick a ball on target from the penalty spot. A professional not even being able to get it on target is someone letting the occasion get to them and losing their head somewhat.
I also have a slight bit of an issue with poorly taken penalties that go in. The 'a penalty that goes in is a good penalty' mantra that gets rolled out couldn't be more wrong imo as it just encourages the continuation of taking penalties poorly
