The problem is, who else could have taken it?n_v said:The person taking the blame should be Sven himself for allowing Beckham take it. NEVER allow two team mates (or former team mates) face each other on a penalty shot.
That's my point!!!!!!!!!! Beckham NEVER should have taken the shot. As a former teamate Barthez read him like a book and guessed correctly. When a player makes it to the national squad on a team of England's standing everyone is a gifted player. As a result Sven had choices for the shot. Lampard had the confidence from scoring earlier in the game.Kev said:Barthez just guessed right. --- Kev
I disagree... I think that Beckham was the Best Possibility for this Shot. He is a great shooter, just unlucky. Barthez himself said that stopping a Penalty is 90% chance for the Goalie and 10% concentration and Leg push.n_v said:That's my point!!!!!!!!!! Beckham NEVER should have taken the shot.

Mmhh, I think being a Professional doesn't mean you are a Good Penalty Kicker. Some Guys would never shoot a Penalty even though they are fabulous players...n_v said:When a player makes it to the national squad on a team of England's standing everyone is a gifted player.

And being former team mates the number shift to 80-20 or maybe even as much as 60-40. Point is the odds descreased as soon as he stepped up to the ball. Nothing against him, but those are the odds.Snook.fr said:Barthez himself said that stopping a Penalty is 90% chance for the Goalie and 10% concentration and Leg push.
My point is that there were options, not everyone else on the field at the time but certainly 2 or 3 others could have taken it.

Rooney is an awesome talent for England. But i do see Bertuzzi 'like' characteristics in him. My 2cents --- KevBack Burner said:Please give the young 18 year old Wayne Rooney some love. He's been playing awsome!
