I know Gareth will use his penalty miss at Euro 96 to his advantage.He will be prepared for everything the World Cup throws at us.
If we go to penalties in the knockout stages this time and don’t win, it will certainly not be for a lack of preparation.
When I went to see the England team at St George’s Park last year to talk about what it’s like at the finals, one thing that was brought up was preparation for penalties.I doubt that Gareth practised penalties during Euro 96.
Now any England player, whatever position they are, will be rehearsing.
