Euro 2004 Penalty Takers (1 Viewer)

[gray]

I just thought it'd be useful to know who'll be taking the penalties for each country e.g. for fantasy football purposes

Tell me if anyone disagrees with my guesses:

Portugal - Luis Figo
Spain - Raul
Greece - Nikoladis
Russia - Mostovoi

France - Henry/Zidane
England - Beckham (i don't think Owen)
Switzerland - Hakan Yakin
Croatia - Prso

Italy - Del Piero/Totti
Sweden - Kallstrom (Larsson?)
Denmark - Tomasson
Bulgaria - Berbatov/Petrov

Czech Rep - Koller
Germany - Ballack
Holland - Van Nistelrooy
Latvia - Verposkosis

Thanks Vil

It will be either Totti or Del Piero for Italy. But that's a 50/50. Vieri can't take penalties. He's not event he main penalty taker in Inter.

I'm thinking that maybe Zidane will take penalties for France....but Henry is a big probability.

I'd take zizou over henry. Thierry misses far too many penalties

i read somewhere that Kalmstrom took penalties for Sweden... and then in one ocassion Ibrahimovich just took it himself to the disgust of his sweden teammates..

uhuh... now i remember where i read it from..

I'm surprised nobody's questioned my guess for Czech Republic's penalty taker...

 

[Stu]

Graham, it'd be nice if you told us which Yakin you think is gonna take Switzerland's penos

I agree with most, if not all, of your candidates though. For Italy it's anyone's guess between DP and Totti. I remember Ale scoring a spot kick against Wales in the 4-0 thrashing, but Totti didn't play in that game so..

I know that this probably isn't a decisive factor, but at club level Henry is a first choice penalty kick taker. Zidane isn't.

 

[Zlatan]

Del Piero has missed some big penalties before, so I dont think it's going to be him. Its Totti if you ask me.

 

[Stu]

Iirc Totti missed like three or four penalties this season alone, and DP has only ever missed one big one, that being against Depor a couple years back. He's never missed any for Italy, or none that I remember anyways.


I have the feeling it might be Totti though. Trap loves him.

I wouldn't jump to a conclusion based on that. I don't have any stats to back me up but as far I recall, Zidane vigorously accepts the penalty duty for his national team. He's not one of those who takes all penalties wherever he goes but for France he usually takes them iirc. I guess it would bore him to take them at club level too..

I Guess it either should be Dp/Totti !... but i prefer Dp !
