TheSpread Well, I still can't quite believe we WON a penalty shoot out.
Harry Maguire was my MOM along with Pickford for me.
I thought Henderson was pretty poor. Gave the ball away too many times and missed his penalty. Eric Dier was also poor when he came on, but credit where it's due, he scored his penalty.

Zammo Obvs gr8 scenes with Dier's pen, but few thoughts..............
Current XI set-up is too one dimensional.
What has happened to Sterling ? He soooo much better than that.
Maguire is the new Terry Butcher.
We looked better when Rose came on.
Why didn't Vardy take a pen ?

Sebastian the Red I thought the incredibly negative tactics from 70 mins to the end of normal time were our undoing - we showed absolutely no intention of going forward and just invited pressure. A very satisfying end, though, and I was buzzing for at least an hour afterwards.

Thought the same thing when I didn't see Vardy. Can only put it down to his nerve, just can't have fancied one. Dier seems like a calm bloke who isn't phased by anything so probably made sense for him to take the last one.

Sanguine Obviously haven't seen all the angles, but this doesn't look like it was going wide to me.

Sanguine Re Vardy, I don't know what his penalty conversion record is, but on another forum saw him described as an 'old musket, great for power but not very accurate'.

Was 100% going wide but how he got to it I do not know. World class.

Vardy has scored 12 from 15 penalties since 2010. I was surprised he wasn't one of the 5 but from everything I've read or heard over the last few weeks we're doing a lot of preparation and analysis on penalties so would assume there was a good reason for it (maybe they've decided you need a very competent 6th taker as X% of shootouts go into sudden death?) .
Or he just didn't fancy it after a pretty average performance.
Thought we performed pretty well given the circumstances. Kane and Maguire were outstanding and won so many headers between them and kept the ball magnificently throughout the game.
We looked too defensive once Dier came on for Alli and Henderson was shunted out from being the midfield pivot (this summers tactical buzz word!) and personally I think Sterling has played pretty well throughout the tournament. He could do with a little more goal threat (as could the whole side to be fair) but he offers great options at times and is the best foil for Kane.
Really frustrated by the Colombian gamesmanship and even more so the lack of control from the ref. That almost cost us a quarter final place and I could see us losing and having another sob story over the lack of a red card when the ref failed to brandish the red card for the headbutt on Henderson.

It was going wide, it is a fact.
