Gamesmanship during penalties England-Sweden

First off,England won a game on penalties. Bravo.You've gotten over the hump.We Italians understand your pain all to well.See Italia 90 Semi Finals lost on Penalties to Argentina.USA 94 Lost on penalties in Finals to Brazil.Poor Baggio.France 98 quarter finals lost on penalties to France. So i can relate to your pain. Was this weekends England win on penalties enough to mask or help heal the pain of England's Semi final Loss to Germany in Italia90? Well maybe, maybe not, but considering most of these U21' will be in England's next two to three world cups,it sure helps allot.

What made these penalties so unique was the slipping, booing,yellow card,GK taking a penalty,taunting and jeering. And that's all before the third penalty had been taken.
Visceral is what comes to mind.Check it out for yourself.
