From the BBC Becks on the spot.
Beckham’s spot-kick miss against France cost England dear and Gary Tuhill (coach of under-15 side Beecholme Colts) reckons his players could show the national skipper how it’s done – after putting away 46 in one game.
I pity the poor kids in that match it sounds like the penalty shootout was a huge ordeal that would have seemed like it would never end.
Barthez out-thought Beckham and it cost England the match so perhaps he does need a bit of practice at not aiming for the same spot whenever he takes one. Unfortunately now he’ll have the dilemma if another penalty opportunity arises. He has confirmed that he will carry on taking them so will he change his spot like people may expect or will he bluff and hit it exactly the same again.
