Not sure why the teams who are bad at penalties, like Japan, don't try harder to score in ET.

I'm still shaking my head at Southgate playing for penalties against Italy last year.

Probably just get nerves. Alot of it is just composure. In general I think penalties in the European leagues are converted at around 80%. No idea what the % is for a shootout.

Awesome win.

Especially Bonou chatting shit in Spanish in the shoot-out... the man has ice in his veins. Just looked like he knew they were going to win from the first second.

Annnnnd Hakimi with the panenka against the country of his birth.

Belgium down.
Spain down.

Now just need to beat Portugal, France and Netherlands to win... not going to happen (as England will beat France!) but...

would be a crazy path considering those five nations are the five European nations with most ties to Morocco in terms of history and diaspora.

Maybe the best defence in the tournament... like I said aha.
