England Vs Colombia

[Penmaster]

Nearly lost it cause of Henderson.Just knew he would miss as soon as he started keepy uppy on the way to take his penalty.What a prat.

Odd comment.

There wasn’t anything wrong with Henderson’s penalty, just a good save, if he hadn’t have got to it everyone would be saying what a good penalty it was, bottom corner with power.

I disagree with the OP - had Henderson missed and we lost we wouldn't have lost just because of Henderson. That said, his penalty was completely sign posted which you can't get away with at the top level. It wasn't a good penalty.

In the end it came down to strong hands. Pickford pushed away the ball with his hand and while Ospina got a hand to Dier's penalty he couldn't stop it.

It's impressive the amount of research and analysis that Southgate and his coaches have brought into the England set-up.

So why did Henderson go to Aspina's left when that was his stronger side if England have done their research?

Didn't help did it.,He missed!

The keeper saved, there's a difference. The Colombian player missed when he hit the bar. Nice of you to draw attention and discuss the one out of five penalty takers who had theirs saved. English blame mentality?

Pasoti is the same when Carey has an effort saved, suddenly everyone is an expert and tells him where he should have put it. Any penalty can be saved.

Nonsense. No keeper would have saved Trippier's.

There have been many top corner penalty saves, if a keeper dives to the top corner it has to be extremely hard AND accurate to evade their reach.

Tim Howard used to dive to the top corners with success.

Really? Think you are making that one up. Cant think of one. So a few examples then? And a keeper never dives to the top corner.

And then the stupid stutter penalty, where if he does that he loses all his momentum. :doh:

Save by Pickford near the end of normal time though. Overshadowed by the goal.

Amazing really. All summer we've worried about their lack of experience. Trippier's got some bottle. Fantastic.

Was actually a BAD save because he should have left it, and then the next moment they score.

Well I do worry looking forward to the Sweden match. We have only scored one goal in four matches from open play. All the other goals have been from set pieces, corners or penalties. If Sweden keep their discipline and give away very little we will need our forwards to step up. I think it is time to bring in Rashford instead of Sterling. I think we can overturn our poor history in matches against Sweden but it will be tight.

Well I for one am shocked that certain posters are completely unable to enjoy England’s first ever World Cup penalty shoot out win.

At least we know this weird urge to focus on the negatives from everything, doesn’t just apply to Argyle.

Henderson missed. Who cares??

Bizarre.

:iagree:

Spot on (excuse the pun) Biggs. Incredible innit?

IS it so hard to see that people can enjoy the outcome but voice reservations over the performance? Is that so incredible? Or because we scraped through then everything is perfect is it?

Yes actually, it IS. We all know not everything about the performance was perfect, when is it ever? But, come on man, enjoy where we are at the moment, or is that so mindnumbingly difficult in BG World?

Well if it's so difficult for you to understand that simple concept I give up. This is a discussion forum not a cheer leading forum. It's not impossible to enjoy and analyse.

I think r4h4al's point was that, if he let it in, they wouldn't have scored from the corner. Which is true!! :lol:

Yes I guess it is. Still much better to concede the goal we did rather than them equalising with a scorching 35 harder tho!!

 

[r4h4al]

The point was it was going wide so he should have just pulled his hand away, and then the game finishes 1-0!
