[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1047627, member: 45598"] I thought Rashford would slot his, he just missed, it happens. The order afterwards was a bit nuts though, Sancho has to walk up straight after seeing the other player brought on specifically for pens missed, that has to be in your head and then a 19 year old non specialist is a mad choice for 5. Would have backed Grealish ahead of the last two also unless he didn't want to take one. Who knows really, it's a pressure environment no one who hasn't done it can relate to, Jorginho had an 87% conversion rate, is a specialist and totally rushed his to miss. You can prepare all you want but at best you'll shift the advantage in your favour by a percentage or two, still a lottery. 2022 will be interesting for both teams. As finals winners go Italy didn't really have any great midfield or forward players and will likely have to replace their CBs, this was last chance saloon for them and I don't see them making big noise in Qatar. Alluding to what [USER=70552]@The_Blindside[/USER] said England probably need to find a more technical midfield player, Italy and even Denmark for a while benefited from Rice and Phillips not being able to keep the ball past their own halfway line. Also, after their last two runs the challenge will be not going stale or running out of steam, these things are draining and winners and finalists often struggle to back it up over the next 2-4 years. I reckon it'll be the next Euros before either of these teams make a last four, not that a regroup is anything to worry about with the young quality players they both have. [/QUOTE]
