Three players missed penalties: Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford who came in just before the end, and the young Bukao Saka who missed the final kick.

Rashford and Sancho came on in the 120th minute, so the blame fell mainly on coach Gareth Southgate's decision, and he did take responsibility. In the case of Saka, who suffered racist insults on social media, that’s a different story. Commentator Roy Keane, for example, argued that the blame also lay with the senior players on the team, who had to take responsibility and not allow Saka to kick the fifth and decisive kick. "Jack Grilish and Raheem Sterling can't really let a young kid kick it in front of them. You can't sit back and say to yourself, 'A 19-year-old would kick such a crucial penalty in front of me, if I've played the most games in my career and have a lot more experience. I'm. "Not saying Saka was not ready to kick it, he might have scored six out of seven times, but I would have taken it hard instead. They should have stepped forward and said in a clear voice, 'I am the one who should kick'."
Jack Grilish criticized Cain on his part, tweeting: "I said I want to kick !!! The coach made so many good decisions throughout the tournament, and tonight as well! But I will not listen to people say I did not want to kick, when I said yes."

Jose Mourinho also holds the same opinion of Cain. "In that situation, where was Raheem Sterling? Where was John Stones? Where was Luke Shaw? Why did Jordan Henderson and Kyle Walker not stay on the field? I think it's too much to put on the young guy's shoulders at the moment, but I do not know. "You have to ask Gareth. Because a lot of times players who need to be there are not there, players who need to be there evade and run away from responsibility.
" And because I feel Gareth is such a decent guy and so positive for players, I do not believe Gareth will ever say that an actor "Someone ran away or hid or said they were not ready to take a kick."
Mourinho then added an interesting story, claiming that there is a player who is not in the squad for exactly such a reason - since at the 2018 World Cup he refused to take a penalty in decisive kicks.
"Do not ask me who, because I will not say," Mourinho said, "but I was told 100 percent that there is a player who could have been on the squad, but was not in it because in the semi-finals in Russia he was supposed to kick a penalty, and refused."
An amazing moment of football.

As you may recall, Southgate took responsibility for selecting the kickers, claiming it was based on what was being done in training.
Mourinho analyzed: "In reality, it is very, very difficult for Rashford and Sancho to approach and kick a penalty after touching the ball maybe once. As for Saka, putting the fate of the country on his shoulders ... I think it was too much.
" One can talk about the previous days And to say that the players were amazing in penalty kicks in training, but the thing about penalties is that there is a difference between kicking them in training and in the moment of truth, because for such situations you can not train or prepare, in training you do not feel the real pressure, it is something you feel only at that moment.
Poor sake, I just feel sorry for him. "
