Marc Albrighton Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Terrible way to go out but you cant have any complaints when you take penalties like that, absolutely awful.

Switzerland had some bad luck getting the red card because the momentum was on their side in the second half, but overall they can't complain.

Think the pressure was all off against France because they couldn't believe they were even there, but by today they were suddenly in with a massive chance of a semi final and expected to score.

john1 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Absolutely gutted for Swiss, they was the better team up til the red card But not sure if it was a red? distraught for Sommer, saved 2 penalties and yet his team mates ****ed it up Definitely MOTM for me, crazy how Simon awarded.

The_jagster Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Switzerland were dead plus if you've taken penalties 4 days ago the opposition will have studied whether a taker waits for the keeper to move and so on. It's not like when a top striker bangs them in virtually every time, they don't take pens usually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you've taken that once you know you either have to do it again even better or you have to put it somewhere else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
