Not quite sure what joke you're trying to crack there.

That's probably because it's a common training technique these days. I'm not sure back in 1990 they did that sort of thing because let's face it they were still going out on the dirty beer pop in those days.

| Interesting to read what Pirlo has said post-shoot out. Knowing that Hart will have seen that he normally goes low to one side, he does that instead and did it to unsettle the England takers.

| A group of Japanese investors have bought shares in Sabadell soccer club worth €616,000 (£495,000). Interesting times ahead for the Catalan club.

Nothing, just cost the FA a lot less than it cost them for Fabio's failings.

(not that I'm conveying the epithet of expert onto myself...)
Difficult to say without being privy to training. Kept things simple and didn't try to change too much in the short period of time he had to work in is how it looks to me. Given the circumstances of his appointment to the job, it probably makes sense that a lot of his selections - particularly where an established first choice withdrew - were players he'd worked with before.
Hodgson's real job starts now. It wasn't really about these championships just because of how and when he took the job, though he had as good a bash at it as he could. Now it's about building his own side, a side he can take to the next two major championships.
That said, Asim's point is quite pertinent.

Just seen an article on that site where kopcke the german goalkeeping coach says practicing them is pointless.
We are mentally weak.

That's where critical analysis of the penalty practice comes in and a structure to that practice, something addressed in the book 'On Penalties' (which I've just ordered) which was referenced in David Winner's excellent Brilliant Orange (which I've recently finished) where he discusses Dutch failures at penalties and brushing off each successive penalty defeat as bad luck, can't train for it, lottery etc etc etc.
Far be it from me to disagree with a much-decorated goalkeeper like Kopke, I am going to do so anyway.

| There might not be a huge amount to be gained for the regular takers, but surely for a David Batty there must be some benefit? Simply knowing when they walk up "I'm going to hit it low to the right because that's what I've practised and that's my best penalty" must be one less thing to worry about?

Just under 20 years ago. We ended up putting him on the left wing and going with the completely dysfunctional pairing of Gerrard and Lampard in the middle.

Exactly that. That has to be better than just hoping for the best.
