Stick to your Bone Knitting, Mikey
Despite voluminous and painful evidence to the contrary, Michael Owen is convinced that practising penalty kicking will not help England:
“If you do practise, you’re not going to do yourself any harm. So if it does give you extra confidence, I suppose it’s worth doing, but I’m not sure it makes much difference. You can never remember what you did in training when you’re on the pitch.”
A little hint: you’re not supposed to remember training on the pitch, it should ingrained and become instinctive.
Oy.
