The Football - England had a bitter experience with the name of penalties. But that does not worry Roy Hodgson as his team met Italy tomorrow, even though he wanted to win the match in normal time.

Against Italy at the Olympic Stadium Kiev, Monday (06/25/2012) pm dawn tomorrow, the UK may be more favored to win given their performance in the group phase. But against the Azzurri who have a solid defense and a lot of experience, victory will not be easy to reach and probably will continue the game into extra time or even settled on penalties.

For the latter's chances of England and Italy are both great because they have a formidable figure in the self goalkeeper Joe Hart and Gianluigi Buffon. But The Three Lions have the worst record Questioning penalties.

Five times they live in turmanen penalties such as the European Cup in 1996 and 2004 plus the 1990 World Cup, 1998 and 2006, all of which ended with the defeat. Sure it's bad memory has not gone completely and it may still haunt the players and fans.

Questions about the possibility of any proposed penalties to journalists after chairing Hodgson training at their headquarters in Krakow. Then Hodgson confirmed that penalties will be avoided whenever possible by the team. Steven Gerrard et al obligatory for him to win by fighting in 2x45 minutes of normal time.

Even until now, even Hodgson not determine who the executioner penalty if any English should reach that phase. Because the penalty shoot-out had never crossed his mind.

"I have not decided who will be the executioner penalty. So do not speculate. First of all I do not know whether the game will be forwarded to the penalty shootout and the second, who will still be on the field after 120 minutes of action," said Hodgson in Sportinglife .

"I'm an optimist. I do not think the game will continue to penalties. I only anticipate for us to win in normal time. We just have not bertandingan, so why would you have asked me to think about what if the fight continued until 120 minutes?" he continued.

"That is the negative thoughts and I do not understand why so obsessed with it," said Hodgson.
