See, now I feel like a lucky bastard, who doesn't deserve to go through, if I win the penalty shootout :(. Very mean of you.
 
We will start with Polaroid's team.

First up, the man who equalized right at the death to bring it to penalties, the talisman Zinedine Zidane steps up to take the penalty. Will he repeat of what he did in the 06 final? He takes the run and places it calmly in the bottom left corner. Kahn goes the opposite way!

Polaroid 1-0 Balu

Come on Oliver, Zidane always puts it in the same place.
 
Starting for Team Balu is Stefan Effenberg. A complete opposite to Zizou, he looks completely fired up, would he be able to contain himself before the kick?

Strong run up, he tried to blast it to the left but Neuer is up to it and he saves it!

Polaroid 1-0 Balu

It would have been interesting to know the penalty takers and decide the direction of the goalkeeper after that :lol:. If I knew, Zidane was his first taker, I would have given a note to Kahn which told him where to go ;).
 
A great start for team Polaroid. Hoping to continue it comes in El Principe, Fernando Redondo. Kahn would like to return the favour to his young compatriot Neuer.

Redondo goes in, and puts it towards the right. A brilliant disguise that left Kahn rooted to his spot!

Polaroid 2-0 Balu
 
And here we see, Jurgen Klinsmann walking up to the spot. Big pressure on him, if misses this one team Balu would be in big trouble.

Neuer is high on confidence after the first save. Klinsmann tries to place it to the right corner but doesn't get anywhere near enough power on it, as Neuer grabs it with delight!

Polaroid 2-0 Balu
 
The Germans cracking up here. Can't hack it
 
I can't feel bad about Neuer saving penalties, fecking nightmare :lol:. Completely confused here.
 
The younger Laudrup, backed by his manager with big words in the media has the job to carry on the dream start for his team. He looks Kahn in the eye, can he derail Kahn's confidence or will the scale tilt back in the balance?

Kahn does the same thing again by staying in the middle, but Laudrup sees it and takes an easy penalty towards the left.

Polaroid 3-0 Balu
 
Laudrup cool as a cucumber while his manager is bricking it

The captain of team Balu, Matthias Sammer, has walked in. The responsibility rests on his shoulders to keep his team in the game. If he misses, it is all over.

He's looking determined not to let the kid get a third in a row. Surely not? But he does! Sammer went for power but a great save by Neuer.

Polaroid 3-0 Balu

It is all over, Team Polaroid has won in 3 kicks!
 
fecking Neuer, at least he didn't score himself :lol:
 
Great discussion, youtube diarrhea, unbelievable penalty drama, best game I have been in! credit to @AldoPaine18 , @Balu and all who contributed
 
Good game, @Polaroid

Thanks for the commentary here @AldoPaine18 Sorry, that my Germans fecked it up so badly and it was all over way too early :(
 
That was a great read. Well done lads! I am slightly questioning my path in life though. A 30 year old man, spending his Friday afternoon sat on his arse at home frantically hitting F5 to keep up to date with an imaginary penalty shoot out...

The first shootout was way more nerve wrecking though, I really didn't want to loose my first ever draft game. This one sucks, but I can't feel bad about Neuer saving penalties, that's impossible. fecking confusing game.
