Matt Holland, who would always have scored, David Cronley, a brilliant finisher, and Kev.
They missed.
They're all really brilliant penalty takers, but they just missed.
I don't know why.
I'd still back them now today to take penalties, but on that occasion, I don't know what it is about penalties in terms of when we've seen it with incredibly gifted players.
throughout tournaments who've really struggled.
I know England make a point that they think they have practiced it over a course of maybe two, three seasons to get the mindset right.
But I don't think there is enough time for those lads now from now until the game on Thursday to just let the lads who feel confident enough to take them, take them.
They were confident.
You knew the magnitude of it, but they were confident because they had belief in what they practiced all their careers.
I did.
I did.
And like Damo said there, I've learned how to take a penalty now.
I think it's a good way of taking it.
And I did.
And if I'd missed, we'd have been out.
But I just felt I'd rather have that than the regret of not taking one.
I'd rather take one and deal with...
whether or not I scored or not, than not taking one.
You're really challenging your Keith Andrews there.
