Those Slovenia penalties are utter crap. 

Yep, all at the perfect height for a keeper to save. Just like crybabies first pen.

The keeper will get the plaudits, but these penalties have all been dog shit, perfect height to save and not in at the post. 

Naive pens.

Lol this is the worst penalty shootout display from Slovenia

They needed to just shoot down the middle after the first miss, Costa was gambling early and it paid off big time.

Portugal don't have the mentality to win this tournament.

Wow. Terrible penalties from Slovenia there. Well saved but each one was just perfect for a keeper to save.

Still, great achievement by Slovenia.

Did the Slovenia players think they were shooting at a hockey goal?

As long as the keeper went the right way, he was always easily saving those

It's madness, the rules are there to stop it and they just don't care 

Just checked the rules as per FA site... I'm actually not even sure it's a rule :D  Only thing I can find is...:

"feinting to kick the ball once the kicker has completed the run-up (feinting in the run-up is permitted); the referee cautions the kicker"

I thought that rule only started about 6 years ago?!

They talked about it in the studio, Can't remember the exact details but according to him it is a misconception that you can't stop mid run up. I was surprised to hear him say that. There was some thing you could not do but the stop start was OK apparently.

Edit: Think it was something like that once you started the kick you could not stop it and wait out the goalie.

all 3 pens were piss poor

all 3 were a good height for the goalkeeper to save them once he went the right way and none of them had enough power

Portugal celebrating like won the tournament, they have just survived a lucky escape

More Ronaldo tears incoming in the next round. Portugal aren’t very good.
