I apologize if this topic has been brought up before.
Also not sure if this section is the proper place to start this thread.
:o
Last year I read an interseting observation concerning English clubs in UEFA finals and the National team in major tournaments when penatly-kicks were needed to decide a winner.
I don't know if it's all true because I don't have all these matches on video.
From the position of the TV camera that's showing the main feed (usually up in the press area section):
Whenever English teams have been involved in shootouts that have taken place on the LEFT SIDE of the pitch, English teams have lost.

After 24 minutes, David landed his first penalty kick to bring up the magical 1000 but two minutes later, the Wanderers hit back.

If it is, Beckham (or whoever's captain) better remember this next year in Germany. ;)
