England and penalties don’t really go together
Well, that was the case until Tuesday night.
England’s penalty shoot-out victory over Colombia was the first ever in the Three Lions’ World Cup history.
Gareth Southgate’s side went into the shoot-out after a tense 1-1 draw with Jose Pekerman’s team, and the weight of history was evident as players and coaches assembled prior to the shoot-out.
But thanks to the heroics of Jordan Pickford, they won the shoot-out 4-3, with Eirc Dier taking the last spot kick.
Back home in England, people went as crazy as you’d expect – as this montage of fans celebrating in pubs across the country shows.
What’s the plan for Saturday then, guys?
