I really wanted to see Grealish miss one.
All players are capable of missing a penalty - you and your team just have to make sure you win the game anyway - but not all players remember where they've come from and do so much good work for vulnerable children.

Weirdly, it was probably Italy keeping the ball in play with Rashford and Sancho stuck on sidelines that made the difference. Nothing wrong with bringing on later specialist penalty-takers but we like goalies to get an early, unpressured touch of the ball and forwards probably need to kick a ball in anger before a penalty shoot-out too.
