Two World Cup winners in our defense....shame about the rest of them
Surprised to hear we've only had 3 WC winners so far - those two and Ziege. Greaves was obviously a controversial case. And I guess the likes of Peters, Villa, Ardiles and Klinsmann only moved to us after they'd won it.

Arthur Rowe
If he didn’t move today he would have saved 3 pens
Even the risk of the keeper seeing out the shot would put more pressure on the penalty taker. Mix it up. The amount of penalties in or near the middle is quite high, and you're not certain of saving even if choosing the correct side. A good penalty is a good penalty. He would have made a fool out of Messi at least.

that save in the last minute of ET was massive

Hugo’s earlier we’re too
Martinez made 8 saves all tournament
Hugo 17
I know which keeper Id have every day of the week and it’s not the one who dyed his hair

Christian Ziege
Ziege didn’t win the World Cup and definitely didn’t do it playing for us unless I’ve had too much mulled wine and am missing something?

I remember reading after the wc final in 2018 that Lloris was our only WC winner, so think you're right! Really weird stat, considering we've had some good teams up throughout history.

Think it was World Cup finalists, rather than winners. Ziege was in 2002. Commentator said it yesterday, among the endless waffle that counts as commentary these days.

Didnt get a medal, at least not until decades later anyway. Definitely not a finalist either

Played in earlier rounds too, symmantics to say he isn't because of the rules back in the day
Definitely, I think when anyone does that stop/start run up the keeper should stand their ground and wait to see the direction as it's really hard for them to get any power on it once they do that.

He did that and then a couple just rolled them in the corners and people moan "he did not even move" I think there is a post maybe a page back bemoaning it
Cheers, just seen it above.
Sometimes a penalty taker is just too good and you can get fooled but I think if the GK stands their ground during those run ups they'll save a fair few and put pressure on others to aim for the corners. Given it seems so obvious maybe there's a good reason why they don't.
