And Spain can £#%&! off too. Don't want the likes of Fabregas and Torres winning an international tournament. Not arsed who wins from the other three. Turkey winning would piss lids fans right off, so that could be a laugh

those are pressure penalties.

i'd love to be taking terry's or fabregas's...if you score you're the hero if you miss it's not the end of the world.

Spot on. Nani is a star for the way he took his pen in Moscow. Absolutely horrible situation to be in, knowing that if you miss your team is out and even if you score the other side still have the advantage. With it being in a European Cup final, that's about as much pressure you can have when taking a penalty.

Scoring a winning penalty is a completely different matter. You can afford to miss.

Agreed.

I absolutely love the way our 'new generation' stepped up to bury their Pens in Moscow - Anderson, Cougar, Nani, Carrick, Tevez....obviously Giggsy was the 'Fairytale' (can't remember which backstabbing £#%&!er missed the other one now. Name escapes me)
