Yesterday was not the first penalty he missed in this year's EC. He should be tarred and feathered for missing penalties with his salary :P

FYI, the penalty he skyed was not his fault... the penalty spot was fucked, and he ws the first player to take a penalty, so everyone else had the benefit of knowing prior to their kicks that the spot was fucked... which, btw, is the responsibility of the hosts, who were, coincidentally, Portugal.
His style of penalty, as someone already stated, means that his non-kicking foot comes down near the penalty spot, which shifted the molehill even worse than before, causing the ball to move.
Good to see vultures like you coming out and attacking with no depth or intelligence.

muhahahahaha! yeah, good aint it.
beckham should have been smart enough to check the penalty spot (which he actually did, i believe) and have made the appropriate 'adjustments' to his kicking technique.
allas, he failed miserably

the double standards some people have when passing comment on football amazes me.
the spot was obviously fucked from the start. the commentators even said it had been mentionned earlier in the day by the teams/managers before the game began
beckham could have taken/should have taken/maybe even did take this into account before shooting.
everyone took the penalty from the same spot. if it had gone in, no one in england would even have mentionned it.
he got it wrong. shit happens. beckham's form has been poor throughout this tournament, so missing a penalty came as no surprise to me. either he isn't fit or his heads not in the right place or something.
either way, shit happens. getting bitter about it just makes you an ingracious loser, and undeserving of any credit.
based on the performance in that match yesterday, the better team won.

oh, the spot must've also been fucked when he took 2 penalties in 2 other games before this one,

just like that idiot Owen, FYI he missed 10 of his last 23 penalties!

are you suggesting SHE sabotaged the penalty spot?
i'd be more inclined to believe that beckham is a pussy who missed a penalty, is currently on poor form and led a team that didn't deserve to win.
ashley cole did a pretty good job though, against all the odds.
sad that the whole team hinged on whether or not their eighteen year old prodigal son was on the pitch or not.. that, to me, is not a team. if they'd deserved anything from the eurocup, they should have been flexible enough to cope with that. one man/boy is not a team.

I hope Beckham really was in poor form... cause I've heard so much about Beckham being super high paid, and really this tournament has been the first time I've really esen him in action... and I've thought numerous times to myself that he was nothing special by how he played...

haha no, that's -sadly- not what i was suggesting. i was aiming at beckham's current form. it seems to be the product of his relation with ice-queen vicky and his numerous love-affairs. someone must have hid a correlation here somewhere...

kind of noble though, to see some people stand up for the english football players by blaming the field and the portugese and whatnot, instead of the players themselves.
they're just quite mediocre, end of story :P

"nothing special by how he played..."
exactly, he looks so average, I don't even think he should be in the England team, i'd rather have Owen Hargreaves playing instead. I wonder if he will go throught his whole career without ever managing to take the ball past a player?

I don´t know about other players but Beckham crosses the ball very well from the midfield into the penalty area, he is "de Boer" of England

I think the funniest thing is that no-one mentions the portugal player who screwed their penalty too. The penalty spot was fucked, clearly. Beckham probably would've missed anyway but it was made worse by the spot. He went first so got the worst of it. The Portugal player who sliced had less of an excuse. That was a REALLY bad penalty.
Non footballer question:
I was under the belief that players had to ruun straight at the ball for a penalty. They weren't allowed to stop start. They had to commit straight in.
If that's the case then why did two of Portugals players do a fake run and not get penalised?
Maybe I'm wrong. Probably I am. Either way, Portugal won through being a better team.
BAM!

Actually, I was wondering the same thing when the Portugal player hesitated in his run towards the ball. It's kind of misleading to the keeper.
