World Cup Qatar 2022 - Desert Strike

[Bacon Horsemeat]

interesting penalty stats there, well done Gary

[ilpostino]

Oh no, bad penalty

[Gotters]

no point even taking the rest, let Croatia go thru and get the news on.

[alex3d]

Those are terrible penalties

[Nick R]

Shortest "run up" (if you can call it that) ever?

[Gotters]

Japan deserve to go home, these pens are bloody awful.

[ilpostino]

This is shite from Japan.

[Plissken]

An absolutely appalling set of penalties.

[Stopharage]

Jenas insight, “That was a poor penalty’ then says “it was a great save”. 
 

Offers absolutely nothing as a pundit. 

[alex3d]

Jesus, what penalties :palmface:

[Thor]

The fuck was that? 

[Fierce Poodle]

Absolute shit from Japan 

[layten]

booooooooooooooooo

[deerokus]

Japan are REALLY SHITE at penalties. Ange, never let any of our Japanese players take them.

Penalty is scored “that’s how you do it.”

[Bacon Horsemeat]

Japan, you're supposed to strike the penalties, not pass them.

[Silent Runner]

Embarrassing stuff from Japan. 

[Art Vandelay]

They we like those penalties the wee kids take against a mascot at half time. 

[Bacon Horsemeat]

C'mon Brazil, smash this boring team

[Boothjan]

Those penalties were like watching someone playing a shootout on FIFA when someone has swapped the shoot and pass buttons around

[Fierce Poodle]

At least we don’t have to hear that godawful dirge the Japanese sing again.

[Calashnikov]

Mad how usually after penalties everyone’s gutted for whatever poor bastard has missed, but rn the whole

world is just going WTF are you idiots doing. Croatian guy included.

[milko]

Japan were a bit "They alway try to walk it in" around the box during normal time, I think some of that spilled into their penalty technique as well. Even the Croatian keeper was all *shrug* about saving the first few.

[Gabe]

Those were the worst set of penalties I've seen from a professional team in many years. None of the players struck them with any conviction and not only was there no pace on them, the direction was terrible too.

 

Such a shame, because this was a great chance for them to progress as Croatia really are quite ordinary now. I mean, Japan weren't great either, but would've rather seen them in the next round.

[englishbob]

It's a shame Japan are out - but those penalties were piss

[neoELITE]

Why do England and France play the day after Croatia Vs South Korea/Brazil? Makes no sense.

"Asks the question" a lot - it could be a new drinking game

[Bacon Horsemeat]

They could beat Germany and Spain, but not boring Croatia.

[Gotters]

Somebody should have told the Japanese players the balls on the spot were making the pitch look messy and they need to put them in the goal to tidy them up. 

[Ork1927]

Oh dear.
