I think Aaron Ramsey missed one in normal time.

I'm quite annoyed, with Spain and Uruguay out we had a real shot at at least a bronze. Trust us to mess it up, and trust it to be on penalties.

Say what you want about Ramsey, but the lad has come back from an injury that could well have ended his career, he was obviously affected by the loss of Gary Speed last season, and had the balls to step up and take the first penalty in the shoot out after missing the one in normal time

Oh i see welshey, because he has issues it has manifested itself in him to the extent where he dithers and gives the ball away and then hits 40 yards balls into touch....awesome!

Amazingly sportsmen are people too.

By the way my username is Welshy not Welshey. It's not mastermind

I don't think Allen was that impressive!

He doesn't attack the ball enough and his passing under pressure looked far from assured....

Hmmm I'll back him if we signed him, but I don't think he's what we're crying out for IMO!!

Goes to show how grossly overpaid these footballers are!!

Allen played a lot better in the previous games as did the other players in fairness.

Hope Allen stays at Swansea or joins a club where the fans actually want him to be there if Rodgers keeps to his agreement he can't sign him now anyhow. If...
