    Both teams are now out because of the embarrassment to football rule…

    At least England were good enough to pass to the keeper. Sweden were giving balls to their mates in row Z.

    The better team, on the night, lost because of being worse at penalties than us.

    To be fair entertainment doesn't always mean quality.

    No shock that Kelly and Bronze took the best pens. Just put your foot through it!

    Well that was a mixed bag from England
    Awful 1st half, good 2nd, poor ET

    Some poor penalties from both sides but quality from Russo, Kelly, Bronze and Hampton wins it for England

    Come on England <diva>

    Good pen takers hit the ball hard
    eg. MLT, SRL

    More practice needed maybe

    It's clear the keepers knew the penalty takers favourite sides but we're inflexible when running up to strike the ball. Many closed their eyes and couldn't see the keeper moving across the goal.

    How strange. The goal scorers from yesterday V Sweden, their initials spell out ABBA.

    Always liked the Beattie turn and shoot tbh.

    We have had three of the best penalty takers going, one area we have been quite lucky (i've repressed Tadic's penalties).
