I’m sure Ronaldo will take a second penalty, and it would be oh so sweet if he missed again. Jan Oblak, go! ---

If things continue in this vein they’ll go to penalties and he will absolutely take one, he’ll probably score though, if he misses 2 penalties in the same game they’ll have to hospitalize me for _schadenfreude_ overdose… ---

All great saves but every penalty at that perfect saveable height ---

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 3-0 penalty shootout win before. Even in Under-10s. ---

Ah, well… Portugal’s trainer Roberto Martínez was clever enough to take Pepe out before the penalty shootings. And the goalie nailed it. ---

Now comes the “Siege of Vienna Derby”, between Austria and Turkey, has Austria perhaps nationalized polish player called Jan “Winged Hussar” Sobieski? that would guarantee victory… ---

> [@Frodo](#): > > “Siege of Vienna Derby” 😂 This is really plumbing the depths of history. I wonder how many European matchups in this tournament have not got some history of warfare between the two nations involved?
