The England v Germany U21s game ended in penalties and it brought back a lot of bad memories
That familiar heartbreak is back.
The England and Germany semi-final in the European Under-21 Championship ended the way absolutely no English fan wanted it to: with penalties.
After extra time ended 2-2, it was down to the dreaded shootout to decide the winner.
And that’s when people watching took to Twitter to share their anxiety at what would happen next.

Sadly, it went the way many thought it would and Germany beat them 4-3 on penalties.

But the fans did find some positives in England keeper Jordan Pickford and were full of praise for his performance.

Supporters of Everton – who’ve recently signed Pickford – in particular.
