It's coming to something when even the Germans are taking the p*ss... This was in today's Telegraph:
Meanwhile, yet another English shoot-out failure was lampooned in the German press yesterday with Bild's step-by-step guide (in English) to taking penalties (graphics included).
"This is the Ball," it explained. "This is the Goal and the important rule is: The Ball must go into the Goal." To emphasise the point, photographs were used of Michael Ballack firing his penalty past Leo Franco, Argentina's goalkeeper - "GOOD!" - and Frank Lampard shooting at Portugal's keeper, Ricardo - "NOT GOOD!"
