I'd love for Taylor to be made take it and just dink one down the middle while the keeper dives out of the way.

Should probably be forced to take this. Craziest shootout ever!!!

NOOOOO!!!!

Holland FTW!!

Where's Michael Gray?

Longest shootout eva!!

A few very good penalties in this shootout. High and in the corners, unsavable.

Piss off complaining about the Dutch keeper commentators, Carson is coming off his line as well. All keepers do it.

Totally agree. The inability to keep possession or string a couple of passes together is extremely worrying. It will be a travesty if we go through in all honesty. You've been basically playing with nine and a half men the last half hour, think it's harsh to rip into them.

Agree, been a brilliant effort by England.

At least Babel has dropped far too deep for some reason, and has become much less of a threat to you.

Some people will complain about anything, he wants to play on through the pain to help his team in a crucial game knowing there's nobody who can come on to replace him. And he's a 'silly boy' for it? I'd want my players to have that attitude, personally.

And apart from anything, it's f****** tempting fate. Exactly. Reminds me of the WC last year, the Germany-Argentina game. Argies did the same thing, bringing on defensive players for attackers with a one goal lead and using all 3 subs. Then Germany get an equaliser from nowhere and Argentina go into ET with Messi and Riquelme confined to the sidelines. A brilliantly lost WC, as only a complete nightmare like that looked like it could stop them with the way they'd been playing.

It's always a really stupid idea to throw on a defender for a striker late in the game when one goal could take it to extra time, particularly if it's the last sub you have. Now you go into extra time with the team severely unbalanced and unlikely to be able to create much going forward. In a league match it's understandable, cos you're just hanging on and if they score it's over and it's a draw, fair enough. But in a game like this where it goes on then I really don't see the sense in it.
