Re: OT: Euro04
I agree, the penalty kick was not a good one. I am even surprised that they let Beckham make the attempt. He missed the Last one against Turkey.
But the more important reason somebody else should have kicked is that Beckham and Barthez played for many years in the same club. Thus they know each other, giving an advantage to the goalie.

Why advantage to the goalie, doesn't Beckham know as much about the goalie?
I'd belive it'd give none of them any advantage. |

Re: OT: Euro04
Because it is for striker to score, not for goalie to save. Striker bears more responcibility and expectations. He must strike well and accurate. No mistakes are allowed. But all goalie should do is to guess the direction correctly and hope for the best.

Re: OT: Euro04
When the striker and the goalie know each other, the smartest one will usually win.
Now Bartez might not be of rocket scientist material, but Beckham 
The blame for this miss must go to the Swede (not you Ruatha, the other one). He should have known better

Re: OT: Euro04
I didn't think it was an awful penalty at the time. Barthez guessed right and saved well. When I saw Zindines though I realized how average Beckham's was. I'd have Lampard or Rooney take penalties from now on.

Re: OT: Euro04
*Crosses fingers* Croatia is leading to France for now, so perhaps my mad prevision will come to reality. Switerzland would need to win against France, and England against Croatia, and then France would not make it to the next stage of the competition.
What's the word for it? Oh yes, wishful thinking. But I may dream, can't I?
Edit: And add "Croatia has still to win against France" to the list.
