Too much pressure and too much power on the kick.
Iāve seen Kane have a kick or two saved, never seen him fluff one that badly.
That looked like a clean tackle to me
Woof this is the most stressful game Iāve ever watched. That is going to haunt Kane for a lifetime.
Maybe 10 minutes left for England with stoppage time.
There have been three England penalty takers who have not made me nervous, and now Iām down to two.
Another bad penalty choice. France are doing their part for England.
One last free kick.
Should run the Van Gaal playā¦

Iāve never seen someone lie down for a penalty kick.
French defense really letting the side down today. Theyāve been generally solid during the tournament, but theyāre really struggling today (credit also to the English who are playing well today).
Itās common. Cheeky players would kick it beneath the wall when they jumped.
And that must be that.
Sorry to see you out, England.
Yep, and how much of that is in our own half
Only match that I predicted correctly, and Iād actually say that I think England deserved to win this.
A brave effort, we gave as good as we got in the 2nd half and probably should be in extra time. No blame on Harry Kane, you go to the well often enough and heās bound to miss one eventually. Such a shame it was today
Definitely feels like England and France were the two best teams left, and winner probably the favorite. Too bad for England, though.
France certainly seems like the best team Iāve seen remaining in the tournament.
Really? England largely dominated the match against the hot favorites for the World Championship and youāre still arguing that they donāt have the quality to hold possession?

I disagree, thatās why he and Tottenham win nothing, if you cannot do it when it really matters doing it when it doesnāt is irrelevant and the one time he needed to he didnāt.
If you canāt score a simple penalty you wonāt win anything, ask Brazil and Spain.
Theyāve been looking like the favorites from the first match, but their defense will have to up their game a lot if they end up facing Messi in a final.
