 Super Fabregas..
Yes Spain on the way for the trebble..
Yes agree Ronaldo bottled it.
Got feeling it will be a dull final...
Fabregas will never be for gotton for the Gunners.  |

| No, in a penalty shootout one should start and finish with the best and safest penalty takers, as those are the positions where the pressure is highest. You should hide your weakest/least confident penalty takers somewhere in the middle around position 3, so Ronaldo at position 5 was the right way to go. |

disagree...
the amount of shoot-outs that are decided by 1 or 2 missed kicks means you usually don't make it to the 5th taker
you don't want to miss any so why not take them in your perceived order of best to last...
I would personally have my most reliable takers at 3 and 4 as that's usually the highest pressure moment... if you are 1 down then you have to score, and if 1 up then you can clinch it |

Over half of penalty shoot outs dont go to suddent death sooooo you would assume no1 & 4 would probably be the most important.
He wanted to take no5 for the glory. Shame. |

Shame it backfired.
Yes makes sence now why Ronaldo was going to take last
spot kick.
As Portugal was unlucky not to win it.
 Shame it had to end in penalties..
Yes penalties best way to decide the game.
Makes it very interesting.
Especially if our team not in it. 
If England be in penalties again, they might win it 
think we gone 6 penalty shoot outs now?
So wlll hopefully win next shoot out, as 7 a lucky number.  |
