World Cup : Qatar Nov/Dec 2022.

Well there's a thing!

All of a sudden the French have forgotten about the virus

Now imagine if we're England, the pubs would be mental

 

[Rosencrantz]

Out of interest, who would have been England's penalty taker in '66? I guessing Bobby Charlton. Hurst, Ball and Peters would be candidates but all quite new to the team at that point.

So, Argentina do it.

 

[Rosencrantz]

Goalkeepers make a difference in shoot outs. Lloris never looked like saving one. Martinez got into some heads and if he goes the right way, it has to be in the corner or high into the net. He probably should have saved Mbappe's.

I wonder what would have happened if it was still level after Extra Time in ‘66 ? It was a few years before penalty kicks were used to determine the result of a game.

Wasn't it going to be a replay? They tossed a coin after that back then.

Possibly...I’ve never seen anything about what would have happened.

Gamesmanship from Martinez yes, but Mbappe aside the French penalty takers completely lacked confidence and belief in what they were doing…absolutely superb World Cup Final nonetheless packed with excitement and drama.
