England penalty tactics revealed ahead of potential World Cup shootout

Aaron Ramsdale has revealed England have been practising penalties without goalkeepers to improve their dreadful spot kick record ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.

The Three Lions have struggled from 12 yards in previous tournament, suffering defeats on penalties at the 1990, 1998 and 2006 World Cups. They were also knocked out on penalties at Euro '96, Euro 2004, Euro 2012 and in the final of Euro 2020 at Wembley.

Yet Gareth Southgate is determined to eradicate England's penalty hoodoo. Their record has improved recently, winning against Colombia at the World Cup in Russia four years ago. They were also victorious against Switzerland in the Nations League in 2019.
