Now that we have reached the knockout stage, we are bound to have at least a few games that go to extra time and penalties. Love them or loathe them, few things in soccer provide as much drama and memorable moments as a penalty shootout. Let us use this thread to discuss penalty shootouts in this World Cup. Which games do you think will go to penalties? Who do you think will miss a penalty kick and let a nation down? Which goalie do you think will be an instant hero by saving a few penalties? I think the England-Germany clash and the Argentina-Mexico game will go to penalties.
I think Germany has never lost a penalty shootout, while England and Netherlands have never won a penalty shootout in the World Cup.
