Cara won the penalty comp, so he got brought on in the World Cup against Portugal.

If you've not kicked a football and your first kick or second kick is that... You know what...

Or did they take penalties?

No, I don't think it was just to take penalties though.

Was it not?

I don't know.

But it was really late, wasn't it?

For me, the criteria for a penalty taker should be the people who are in front of goal the most...

the people who are taking set pieces, the people who are basically kicking the ball toward like, you know, midfield players forwards, maybe fullbacks, if you think like Trent, who's got sort of a strike.

If you're someone who basically takes free kicks or penalties for your club or shoots for goals or is expected to be in front of goal and have been in that situation more.

Would you have took one for England?

If you were asked?

I never took a penalty in my whole life.

Would you have taken one for England if we were going on to Pekinon?

Do you know something, Roy?

I would have said, why are you asking me to take a penalty?

But you never went down to 8, 9 or 10.

Oh, absolutely.

I'd have been like, I've never been in front of a goal.

I mean, I thought I'd scored seven goals.
