I'm with suzy. Your best should go first. Fifth often doesn't take one, but that first penalty is crucial for easing nerves.

Maybe they’re flexible on when he steps up, if it’s one they need to stay in the match. 

Possibly I’m just not a fan of it.

We all laughed when Ronaldo saved himself to last with Portugal I think it was and then he missed.

I love Mo I just think think best pen taker should go first.

Exactly. Mo goes first with us so maybe it’s an Egypt thing.

You've got to name the order in advance, don't you?

Does he? When did we last have a pen shoot out with Mo in the side?

Community shield 2020 Mo took first one.

The Championship is decent standard IMO. I don’t watch Ligue 1 or Eredivisie but with the exception of PSG or Ajax, I reckon they’re closer to the Championship than PL in terms of quality.

Nonsense.

 

The best should take the fifth.

For a spread sheet man that's bollox. Neither team got to take 5 pens today, happens regularly. Best taker should be first or third.

Who do people think should have took Englands 5th pen?

The best player should take an utterly theoretical spot kick? Interesting theory.

Yes, but you watch the French league.

A riddle, is it? 

 

OK, If I was forced to guess,  you will start with arguing over the actual literal meaning of several of the words I have used, and then move on to placing a finer point on subjects already adequately covered, until finally leaving us with the strong impression that your keen mind allows you to decipher football in a fashion beyond our ken.

 

 

[Bobby Hundreds]

You do not try and select the best penalty taker that is impossible, instead you need only realise the truth.. there is no best penalty taker, just kick the ball at the goal and fuck off.

You name the takers but I believe the order is your choice.

Hopefully Salah wins it, we go on to do the quadruple and Fifa still somehow find a way to give Messi the Balon d'or.

It's Ronaldo's turn next.

 

A goal on his debut.

Dragging Utd single handedly up to 5th.

Having grown men doing his stupid goal celebration in the street.

Nurturing Greenwood.

 

Shoe in.

Given all their knock outs have gone to extra time, Mo has just played the equivalent of 4 games in 8 days.
 

All games in c.90d weather on shite pitches. 
 

If we didn’t need them back for the Inter game (we should be able to cope in the League) , I’d be giving them a week off. 
 

I wonder if the winner will get extra time off for any celebration? At least they won’t come back having had 15 pints in celebration.

Yeah we’ve really been stiffed by Mo and Sadio being good. They could probably use a couple of weeks off minimum when they get back.

Fair point! Unless you blamed indecipherable handwriting.

The star player always wants to take the fifth, but the best one should take the first. It’s a crucial one.
