****'s sake. Woeful penalty.

x2

 

[BoyBrumby]

Jesus ****. Japan clearly from the English class on penalties. 0 from 2.

 

[ripper868]

Fair play Croatian keeper, but they are horrible pens those 3.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

I think that match definitively settled which of the two teams is better at penalty shoot outs.

 

[silentstriker]

The Croatian goalkeeper better get laid tonight.

My word they were bad

 

[Howe_zat]

I don't think even England have had a set of penalties that collectively bad.

Ha, quite.

I mean we've shit the bed more than once, but they were insipid.

Surely if in doubt just stick your laces through it. Keeper moves like 9/10 anyway.

 

[Tangles]

Not hitting the corner. No power. Not going down the middle. Not hitting them low or high. Didn’t like the 3 step run up for at least one either.

Quite a collection.

Yeah our penalty failures are usually one or two individuals falling foul (three last summer) rather than a collective horror

Been trying to decide which was our worst effort and I think Portugal in the 2006 WC probably takes the candle.

From memory only Hargreaves scored?

Yeah hard to argue with. I actually forgot that one (blocked it out). A shocker

Kinda hard to compare with the pseudo-doco angles here but tbf it doesn't look great.

My favourite moment is at 0:42 when Paul Robinson dives the wrong way and enjoys a massive celebration when he realises Viana has hit the post.

 

[ripper868]

probably a bit generous this at the 18 minute mark:

 

[Bahnz]

That penalty looked harsh, surprised it wasn’t sent to VAR.

 

[ripper868]

Pretty certain it's all checked in the background, then VAR contact ref to let them know if it needs a 2nd look.

 

[wpdavid]

He’ll play a back five with two holding midfielders and stifle the game for as long as possible.

If ever an opponent justified playing Trippier ahead of Walker on the right side of a back five, this is it. But I don't know whether he will actually. All three of yesterday's midfield look undropable, albeit for differing reasons.

 

[ripper868]

lovely 3rd goal that for Brazil, they look real slick.

 

[wpdavid]

Lovely goal. But their celebrations are irritating in the extreme. Poseurs to a man.
