Euro 2024 Qualifying

A third of Kane's goals have come from penalties. Has any England player ever got a higher proportion of their goals from the spot? Indeed, have England ever won more penalties than in recent years?

Lineker?

Rooney?

Beckham?

Lineker?

Rooney?

Beckham?

Rooney got 7, Beckham 5, Lineker 4. The nearest is Lampard, for whom 9 of his 29 goals were penalties.

Annoyingly these games are on Viaplay instead of Sky now, which makes watching them less convenient

I’d imagine it doesn’t keep Kane awake that much at night though

It does seem to be the way in the modern game. Ronaldo got another couple to pad out his stats against the might of Lichenstein yesterday, and I'm sure Messi will do likewise against Curacao later this week.

Is Messi still playing international footy?

He should have retired after the World Cup. Nothing is topping that

He played the other night for Argentina against Panama Mikey.

Unless he manages to bag off with Jessica Biel I think you're right mate.

And it certainly isn't Declan Rice.

2-0 to Steeeeevy Geeeeee on Channel 4 for me. More comedy gold than golden generation. Bloody sure he said someone was playing a "Pacific role" in his pre-match comments, only to be followed by the Italy striker looking like "a duck out of water"in his half time analysis. Now I'm no ornithologist but I'm quite sure that the ducks I've encountered over the years looked quite competent on dry land, managing to keep their footing even when in close proximity to Demba Ba.

LOL.

Whats viaplay?

 

[good times bad times]

France 2-0 up already against the Dutch.

Jorginho and Verratti appear to be listed there in amongst those world class midfielder, and yet they were bossed by Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips for half of that game.
