Very nice of the nurses, but one man got so anxious during the penalty he needed treatment.

I can understand that. It was very upsetting.

Ooh just realised that was about the other match. Well I certainly hope that they didn’t let the patient watch last night’s match!

I think penalties are the best way to decide. These are all highly paid professionals. What I thought was a mistake was to throw two penalty takers on in the last minute of extra time. They had hardly touched the ball before they were expected to step up to take a penalty. They both missed if I recall correctly.
I remember when some European Cup games were decided on the toss of a coin. Now that is unfair.

Wasn’t one of them only 19? Very unfair to put such a burden on such young shoulders.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Gareth Southgate’s penalty miss that put England out of the 1996 Euro championship. He knows how these players feel.
