The thinking behind the penalty takers seems a little flawed (NCFC) - Tier2canary, Jul 12, 00:20:35
- So are you saying any penalty in the first 3 minutes of a game is likely to be missed? (NCFC) - Ben, Jul 12, 00:31:17
  - It’s the least conservative thing Southgate did in the tournament! (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jul 12, 00:32:40

- I do, then again I am kinky (n/m) (NCFC) - Augustus Pablo, Jul 12, 00:25:09
- 20:20 hindsight (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jul 12, 00:23:46
  - Is it? Was pretty obvious asking two players to take pens with basically their first touch (NCFC) - Jim, Jul 12, 08:49:46
    - Bigger risk to leave them on the bench though (NCFC) - CWC, Jul 12, 09:18:42

      - Rashford and Sancho must have been up for it (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jul 12, 00:30:25
