It can be a real confidence destruction but I do believe that most of them have gone through some pretty devestating losses and come back stronger from them, too. Most of this group were there when we lost the title in the last minutes two years ago, let's not forget.

Any professional football player should be well aware how much of a lottery penalty shootouts can be. I don't think any of them would suddenly think themselves that much lesser a person because they failed to get one specific penalty on target. Not to mention that few (none?) of them are actually our preferred penalty takers - they are traditionally RVP, Rooney, Giggs and Nani. None of them were on the pitch, sadly.
