Missed the Zidane headbutt 2006 World Cup Final. Was in Sydney at the time and up early for work.
Makes it even worse when you realise QPR gifted them it. cnuts.I sort of envy of the people who haven’t seen the Agüero goal. I saw it live and it was probably the most heart crushing football moment in my life.
Yup. The feckers realised that they were safe and so decided to throw it away. They even fecking celebrated with them. Arseholes.Makes it even worse when you realise QPR gifted them it. cnuts.
I was in Florida in 2012 for the Aguero thing I managed not to see it for about 3 or 4 years after somehow
Aye struggling to remember many from the 90s, aside from Dwight Yorke who did a couple:For years I had no idea why people called it a Panenka. It didn't seem to be a thing at all from the late 80s and throughout the 90s. I swear nobody took a single penalty that way in all that time before it became trendier again in the 2000s/2010s. If they did I don't think it got called a Panenka in UK media, probably a chipped penalty or something.
When I first heard it I assumed it was the word for chipping, lobbing, dinked or lofted in another language for ages.
Edit: Even reading the Wikipedia article on that style of penalty there are no other examples until Totti in Euro 2000, barring one miss from Gary Lineker in 1992 that I don't remember at all. Probably in a friendly.
