All the best to England
Simply on the law of averages....England must win this peno shoot out

Day 20: Sweden vs Switzerland and Colombia vs England
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
He saved a few in under 21 tournament few summers back.
Got a feeling Cuadrado will sky his miles over the bar so that might be one he might not have to save.
Get the excuses in lads, we’re out
Come on England. This time surely...
Wonder if staying on the line will be enforced.
I'd love to see the entire Kane penalty incident again. From what I saw on the replays it really looked like he pulled the defender into him and out of position, before getting in front and the Columbia defender fouling him from behind.
Pressure and self fulfilling prophecies
Football is really a tough sport. I can't run for five minutes without taking a break. These guys have been at it for 120.
Still hope England goes through. This is mind numbing.
Is it fair to say we're out?
Yeah all too predictable.
England got this. Falcao to miss.
Soithgate picking up orders.
Time to reopen the poll..
Feel the same. So disappointed with England I couldn’t care if we’re knocked out here. Just don’t want people blaming our players.
We've lost 6/7. Law of averages?
Well at least somebody will make decent cash from the inevitable pizza advert
That’s the spirit!
Every curse has to end some day. May as well against a team that never had a pen shootout in a WC.
1996 vs SpainAm I right in thinking at the age of 30 I’ve never seen us win a penalty shootout? Can’t see that changing
England have been poor. I actually think they'll win the shootout but they will have done well to come through this.
Central defenders always score in these shootouts. Its a well known fact.
Scapegoat time.
I'm so calm because I already know what's going to happen next.
Guys, it’s completely nonsensical thinking that past generations having lost on penalties means this one will lose too.
Ospina is crap at saving penalties while Pickford is great at it. There’s absolutely no way England lose this

England will win this, I will quote this to say I told you so in a moment.
Tyldesley sounds like he's had enough. 
Good luck England!
Columbia up first
I reckon England have the better 5 but they're really not in the right mindset for it. Total toss-up here
Time for England and the new generation to break this curse of shoot outs. This could be a historic turning point.
I had a feeling before tournament England would win a shoot out, has to be now. Feel the nation will be forever broken if another loss happens especially with late goal.
Feck it....Falcao, Cuadrado and one other to miss....England to only miss two.
Replays of pk shootouts past, just in case there was any doubt about the past.
I think they'll do it,England that is.
I'd stand in the middle for the first penalty if I was a keeper.
Put it in their heads that they have to pick a side.

Oh you sweet summer child
That's not how it works.
Who's going to miss?
I say Dier
I say Dier
I have a feeling England will win this and end the streak.
Win or lose, I have respect for any England player who steps up and takes a penalty, with their record and the Press ready to roast them.
Come on England
