World Cup letdown

Bob: Can you tell me why the best players in the EPL can't make a bloody penalty kick in the World Cup?
Every four years I root for England because I get to know these guys when the Fox Soccer Channel brings EPL matches to the U.S.
And every four years they let me down.
It's not that hard to make a penalty kick. If you bang it hard enough to either side, no keeper in the world can stop it, even if he gets a hand on it.
The England World Cup side is very reminiscent of the Boston Red Sox....rooting for them is a form of penance.

I was just discussing this subject with a friend last night. It did seem that the whole world (including England) temporarily forgot how to take a penalty properly during the World Cup. It extended to shortly before and after as well, I seem to remember.
Key: Complain about this post
