Shearer, Lineker and Lampard all said, yesterday, that they'd have their shot choice set in stone way in advance of any penalty - didn't want any doubt/second guessing coming in.

Obv different for every player, though - Rashford's looked like he was trying to get a reaction/react to that reaction

Sancho and Saka could be either - at the end of the day there's always a chance a shot at goal will be saved, and they were against the best goalie in the tournament


I heard the same interview with Southgate re: having the order of penalty takers agreed on way in advance and it wasn't a spur of the moment list.

Could've just been trying to relieve the pressure on the young players, but I dunno - it was a weird order and I can't imagine he'd just wing it
