The dreaded penalty shoot out. Will it come back to haunt England at the European Championships in the summer? It is probably in the back of the mind for England fans and that’s reasonable. The last two exist what they have suffered at the Euros have been by a penalty shoot out in the knockout stage. Can the Three Lions avoid going through the dreaded pressure of that at France 2016?
At Euro 2004 they went to the the quarter finals and were stopped by hosts Portugal in a penalty shoot out after a 2-2 draw at the end of extra time. After failing to qualify for Euro 2008, England’s next appearance at the Euro’s ended in exactly the same fate. They met Italy in the quarter finals four years ago and after a pathetic attacking performance, exited the competition in a shoot out. So it’s plagued them before, will it be back at Euro 2016?
