I know, but it's just stupid. The goal is so big, and all you gotta do is choose in which corner you'll kick it. If it's hard enough, the goalie can never get his hands to it. Dutch players can't get it straight, when it comes to penalties. Really, this is haunting us ever since Euro 1992, when we lost to Denmark because Van Basten missed a penalty.
It continues in England, Euro 1996, Holland out, because they lost against France after penalties, Worldcup 1998, out in the semi's, after penalties against Brazil, Euro 2000, here in Holland, out in the semi's against italy, after penalties AND Holland also missed two penalties during regulation.
It's hard to keep faith in a bunch of guys who let you down so many times in such an embarrassing way. Everyone can miss a penalty from time to time, but guys like Stam and seedorf don't just miss, they launch the ball in the second ring of the stadium.
