three, sorry, yes, three out of four Denmark players all missed penalties.
The Czechia players, three out of four scored.
And I would argue that on paper, all of the Denmark players are technically better and technically gifted more than the Czechia players.
Yeah, the Czechia players scored.
Yeah and I get what you're saying but you know if there's a technique if after 120 minutes and you say lads who wants to take a penalty and there's a really technically gifted player or there's somebody who runs around and breaks up the play and not as technically gifted I know which one I'd lean towards taking a penalty but I totally take your point that technically sorry Which one would you be leaning towards?
Oh, the technically gifted player.
Always the technically gifted player just because the technically gifted player will generally play under pressure during the game and sort of, you just trust them a little bit more and my mind would go to trust them that little bit more.
But I have to say some of the best penalty takers I've seen when I was at Preston North Ends
Callum Davidson, the ex-Leicester and Scottish international, used to take our penalties and he used to just hit it as hard as he could.
And I always said to him, Callum, you're not going to place it.
And he always said to me, Keith, if I don't know where it's going, how can they know where it's going?
And he used to hit it as hard as he could.
Yeah, he scored more often than not.
Look, we can debate the merits of it, but some of the best penalty takers, when I think of the best penalty I've seen, I remember Pirlo playing for Italy against England and Italy got a penalty and Joe Hart started giving him a little bit of lip in the 18-yard box before the penalty was taken.
And of course, Pirlo being Pirlo, decided I'm going to do a panenka and absolutely made a show of Joe Hart.
He dived one way and he slowly dinked it down the middle.
And after it, Pirlo said, I just needed to teach the young pup a lesson.
And I thought that was absolutely brilliant.
But Pirlo also went on to miss 11 penalties in his career.
So somebody with the composure of him and the technical ability of him can still miss 11 penalties throughout his career.
