Has to be the ref for me. If he had given the goal and that's what it was we would be in the semi's now.
It's terrible that Vassell joined Southgate as a Villa player who missed a vital pen, but I could see it coming. Beckham missed the first one as well, so he must take an equal share for that part of our exit, as must James who looked as likely to stop a penalty as Shilton used to. We could also look at the condition of that penalty spot as well. But, to be honest our midfield did not perform and shoot out's are sadly our usual exit route.
A sad end....thanks for nothing ref! :cry:
