Yes I thought we'd lost, but it also looked as if we had been practising penalties. Even the one that was saved looked not too a bad penalty but a very good save.

[Football] Did you think "we've lost now" when Henderson's penalty was saved?

Yes, I had that feeling

voted no, but not for the reason listed. I'm old enough to have seen plenty of penalty shootouts and know that out of the ten, normally more than 1 is missed, so if the stats played out that way, then it was not necessarily over.

I was the calmest I’d ever been in a penalty shoot out. Until the Hand of Jord did it’s bit. At which point I erupted !

When it went to penalties, I didn't think Pickford would make a save, but do a very good impression of Peter Shilton and just watch the ball hit the net, with our only chance being if a Colombian player put his penalty into the crowd.
Then when every England penalty taker after Kane step forward, I thought they weren't going to score.
Hopefully we won't need penalties in the next game(s)

Quite an interesting table here up to and including Euro 2016, assuming its accurate - which I'm not entirely sure of, being as the headings of 'Taken' and 'Scored' at the top are quite clearly the wrong way round.
If its right, after last night we've now scored 27 out of 40 penalties in shootouts, so 67.5%. Flaky.
You certainly wouldn't want to go to pens against the Czechs though, would you.

I didn't want it to be over, because as long as it wasn't over, I still felt hope. I was dreading how shit the rest of the World Cup would be without us in it, especially since we were given such an amazingly favourable route to the final.

I thought we were well overdue a goalkeeper saving a penalty, but I thought it might be in sudden death.
I was just trying to stay calm, but fancied Pickford to save one.

Listen to me!!!
I though we had blown it. I must also take this opportunity to apologise to Meg, my golden retriever, about all the bad language last night.

A Coventry fan was standing in front of me when Henderson went up ' kin hell, he took one pen for us and missed it' before the keeper almost instantaneously saved it. At that point I just thought 'Here we go again' and contemplated taking my World cup bunting down on return from the pub. The subsequent turnaround made it all the sweeter and it's a long time since I've flicked the Vs at the telly. Very enjoyable.
