Does anybody else agree with me that the 4th penalty position is the most important therefore your best penalty taker should be at number 4 ? Did Ronaldo take himself out of firing line by opting for 5th pen ? Wouldn't be first time the c**t bottled the big stage :roll:
Spot on Augie. Much as lots to dislike the ladyboy about, to not let your best and most confident player take a penalty before it's too late is verging on the negligent. Have to say don't believe he wouldn't have taken it(and probably scored),so coach got to be in the frame surely ?

No. He wanted the glory.
No I think he bottled it. He has missed a few before this
He wanted to take the last one just like against England in 2006 and have the replays shown aroud the world of him winning it.

Agree with this - I do love Cesc as a player and ex Gooner but I want Germany to win it now and it has nothing to do with my sticking a small wager on them pre tournament. I think that football itself needs a change at the top and I feel that Spain and barca have started to believe their own hype of late and pass for passings sake without any end product. They have been a great team but need to realign their focus IMO and bring back the pace and ruthless clinical part of their game that made them the dominant team they were

Want Poldi and Per to win it with the germans but I think, as well as they've played, even they'll find it difficult to score against Spain. They just don't know how to lose. Penalties in that match, if the germans do reach the final, would be very interesting though

I think the Germans will sail through the semis and spain may have to change their play because Germany are amazing going forward.

Let's hope Germany go through because Italy v Spain will be the ultimate borefest

Delighted for Cesc and hope Germany win the thing outright.

As regards the penalties the pressure mounts from 1-5
But I would still prefer points on the board and I would have my top guns 1,2 and 4 in that order.
