Once again, a penalty miss derails a British attempt to win a medal in a major competition. Team GB leaves the Olympic Women's Football tournament at the quarter-final stage after giving up an equaliser for 2-2 in the 89th minute, missing a penalty in extra-time for 3-2, and ultimately losing 3-4 to the Matildas thanks mainly to their captain, Sam Kerr (what a fantastic player, something I feel able to celebrate as she isn't representing her WSL team at this point!).
What is it with GB/England teams and penalties? Of course they practice them, but there just seems to be some kind of historical hoodoo on them. Ah well, so it goes.
