      European Under-21 Championship

      Good start for England then! 0-0 after missing a last minute penalty.

      Scotty Carson kept a clean sheet in a record 28th appearance in the Under-21 squad.

      I did watch the game and Scotty made a save early doors when some Czech lad was clean through on goal, and in the second half he tipped a stunning free kick onto the post! It was a fabulous save, he's in great form. I had to laugh at Lita missing the penalty, he seemed dead cocky like he wasn't letting any one else take it and then hit it wide!

      What is it with England and penalties ?
      Didn't they pratice them in there last warm up match ?

      I'm sorry but if your a professional player, you should at least hit the target. (and hope to God, Reina's not stood between the sticks).
      Nice one for Mr Carson, clean sheet and the record.

      Italy getting beat is a big big suprise.

      Good to hear Carson kept a clean sheet.
      Can't believe the pen was missed though. The FA should make it compulsory that pens should be practised more than they obviously are! Hence giving Carson some good practice as well  ;)
      How was the game? Boring? I forgot all about it to be honest.

      No matter how much you practice penalties I am convinced it is 10% skill and 90% nerves.

      Was taking the dog out on a walk and thought - will just hang on and listen to the pens on the radio...

      The poor dog was crying to go out on his walk!

      Unbelievable - the question is how many of the 16 pens would Reina have saved? More than one I would guess.  Maybe we are doing the right thing letting Carson go and keeping Reina.

      It's not very often I have any sympathy for an England side, this is born out of a dislike of the London Bias Media and a Useless Football association! But the Under 21's have done us proud and were unlucky!

      I feel bad for them, it must have been hell going through a 32-penalty shoot out!
