England lose on penalities

07/06/2010 | By More

Not a prediction, this happened at the weekend. OK it’s only Soccer Aid, but losing in a penalty shoot out on the Sunday before World Cup week isn’t the best omen is it?

Still at least that’s out of the system, so it can’t happen in the world cup, can it? I can’t figure out why England players in any form can’t win a shoot out. Quite a few years ago I ‘qualified’ for a world cup tournament where I played for England  in a football tournament organised by my then employers Compaq. Off we flew to Munich and made our way to the semi finals where, you guessed it, we lost on a penalty shootout. Maybe it’s something  that just needs to be shaken out of our nations psyche somehow? I will never why England don’t draft in Matt Le Tissier, he was just awesome at penalty taking. See this article.
