Of course you can blame him, he missed the penalty.

I’m not sure I buy this. If Kane’s got the mentality to be England’s number 1 penalty taker, you must give him the second one.
I do actually think going the same way meant he tried to put too much juice into it to make sure and that was the issue. (Rather than Lloris his teammate).
But I still think it’s the right decision to have him take number two
Top players miss penalties. It does happen.
Not just this planet. They'll have ducked for that second penalty on the moon mate.
I was agreeing with you and adding to your point

Said to my missus “he’s shitting himself”
Goal to make him top England scorer and to level it. Buckled under the pressure. It happens.

Looks like the the Miami Dolphins are going to stick a cheeky bid in for Kane next season .

What if he hit the target and it was saved, would that be ok?
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Personally, in that situation, I think it’s helping the keeper by keeping the same kicker.I’m not sure I buy this. If Kane’s got the mentality to be England’s number 1 penalty taker, you must give him the second one.

I’d guess it wasn’t something discussed so everyone went with the flow.
I never said I’d take it off him. If he wants it, he has it. In the cold light of day, I think it’s better to change kickers for the second pen.
Legend. Lets move on.

Gary Lineker scored two in Italia 90, Jan Molby once scored a hat trick of penalties.
From experience I reckon he changed his mind, I did the same thing in a penalty shoot out.

Id say at least you give yourself a chance. Important thing at that stage was making sure you hit the target. I wouldn't have gone for height certainly to limit the margin for error

This. Massive pressure. Totally agree. But mentally strong and top sports people put that away. He lacked mental resilience

Best penalties are low and hard even if you get it a yard inside the post the keeper will struggle to get down quick enough.

One of his best mates, both families very close...100% got to Kane.

But im not sure why? He missed obviously, but it was the right call having him take it.
Anybody else taking is, by definition, not as good a taker both mentally and technically
There have been instances where the second taker misses. People miss penalties for different reasons

If I was guessing, very much in an armchair fan way, I think he wanted to go same place again but felt he had to give it more juice to make sure. That meant he popped it overGary Lineker scored two in Italia 90, Jan Molby once scored a hat trick of penalties.

This is such good banter

He had the balls to take it , shouldn’t come to that , we had enough talent on the squad to take them game to them and we didn’t

Should always stick the second pen straight down the middle.
