Gemmill 46093 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 England will inevitably get put out of the tournament on penalties, but who would you send in to take them. List of names AND the order. I normally hate threads like this btw but I'm bored. Lampard Owen J Cole Rooney (if playing)/A Cole Gerrard Gerrard last cos I reckon if anyone can handle the pressure, he can. Lampard first because I think he's most likely to get us off to a scoring start. And I'd be practising them DAILY in training as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46093 Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 There's something about his legs that would really worry me in a penalty shootout. They look like he'd be lucky to get the ball over the line even without a keeper in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordieshandy 0 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Lampards penalty the other day was awful. I still think you have send Beckham up take one even after the sinking ground incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46093 Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 Forgot about Beckham. I'll have him taking one ahead of Joe Cole then. I think Beckham's going to have a class WC incidentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Beckham's going to have a class WC incidentally. 145328[/snapback] If he keeps hitting the ball as sweetly as he did on Saturday then he has a good chance of racking up some serious assists. Just stay out wide and tonk the ball at Crouch. Especially in the first game when the centre halfs are about the height of Owen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He prefers floated balls to the back post so he can utilise his height. He doesn't power in headers from Beckham-type crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46093 Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 Aye, that's why he's in my Fantasy team. His delivery from free kicks in the friendlies is as good as I've ever seen. Incidentally anyone wishing to join a Toontastic Fantasy league can find a thread on Gen Chat....blah blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we could still play it the way you suggest, with Crouch taking back stick knocking down for Owen/Lampard/Gerrard.

khay 10 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I would not have owen in my first five as i'm sure every time i have seen him take one when at liverpool the keeper saved them as he had no power in his shot. so it would go something like this Lampard J.Cole Beckham Rooney/A.Cole Gerrad But of course i hope england do go out on pens, just so i dont have to listen about england winnning it for the next 40 years...
