Gary Lineker teases Alan Shearer over Argentina-England in 1998 | BBC Sounds

it was fitting actually they both got England, Argentina at ten to six and obviously again you played in Alan yeah it was great it was a very very good game yeah I mean it was they scored on us um we um then extra time Golden Goal and then penalty so yes soul Campbell scored and yes you clumsily found someone and apparently yes it costs your country yes in the end everyone has a poor David Beckham and Bernie Effigies just because he got a little move in a red car when actually Alan showed fouling someone it cost England the winning numbers click this so I can post my social media please but I didn't think it was a foul yes but I scored the pen, okay?

Did you go from the right goalkeeper, did you keep us right? Two pens in the game, yes, one was in normal time and the other in the penalty shootout. Okay, when the Guardians are right and then what was the other one that kept us right? We are both the same way, yes. The goalkeeper made a mistake in the second. I do not remember. I think he immediately went to both of them. It's always that horrible moment when you're on penalties, yeah, and you see the goalkeeper going the right way. oh yeah, he was one of those, you know, so I scored the first one.

Put it on the right side, which is my favorite side. Keep us on the right. I always had confidence. I'd rather the Keepers leave. Really, yes, yes? then the shooting comes, I'm thinking, oh this is a mental thing, now he's going to think, he's going to think I'm going to go to the other Australian side because he knows my favorite side, but I thought from my experience. and taking penalties I thought you know what happens if you put it the way you want it won't stop and you take the penalty you're most comfortable with on the taller rookies that's what I thought I think that's why Kane goes. he's he's that's his way is yeah and then he backs off if the bouncer goes that direction anyway yeah yeah nervous thinking about it I remember walking there it was right I was nervous and that's a walk you've never had In any other game experience, walking from the midline of the field, when do you do that to do anything?

Yes, well, you walk in your own time only to return to offware, but what are you thinking at that moment? I know what I was thinking when I did it because I only had an international private shooter. I did a couple of Barcelona but I only had one which was the only one I'd done and it was the first one England were involved in so I'd never really seen a penalty taker in terms of international football with England or anything like that, so I'm thinking I've got the ball. I don't think so, what do I do?

I run with him, I walk. I hold it, man, I joke, I struggle with it, definitely, don't juggle it and it's like, am I going fast? I'm going slow, yeah. I never really thought about it because it was such a different thing to have to do today. I guess so. part of the planning would be how do you do that walk because it's 100% important, but when it's like, oh God, David, you told me this because obviously he and Pauline missed out on this tournament, yeah, on that game, and he told me. Before you go, what do you think I said right?

If you have any doubt, hit it in the middle as hard as you can, put your foot behind it and hit it, what do you see? We've never seen a penalty before. It's always modern we were in that situation the volunteers said yes, I'm going to, that's what I'm going to do, it's over, we got there, so from the walk he changed his mind to the penalty spot, he changed his mind. and he threw it to the goalkeeper's right goalkeeper, he saved it, no, yes, that walk does strange things in your head, that walk does, doesn't it?

It's smart, I'm smart, I mean, we had the same technique that we would practice the penalty. I'm going to hit in a game, so even though I didn't have much practice because we're so exhausted from the court finals, what I was going to do was hit the goalkeepers low, it's not my favorite penalty. but I had already done the other two in the previous game, yes you have to do something, so I thought I would do something different, but I hit it well, I hit it well and under relief, oh that's it, really at that stage .

Isn't it absolutely a joy thing unless you actually take the winning penalty or something I imagine? Yeah, but it's just the relief, so that's the classroom, yeah.
