A long period of disappointment has almost been shaken off the new generation with shootout wins in 2018 and 2019
The words 'England' and 'penalties' are enough to spook even the most ardent Three Lions fans and the prospect of a shootout is usually a source of dread due to the heavy hand of history.
However, recent successes - against Colombia at the 2018 World Cup and Switzerland in the 2019 Nations League finals - have given them reason for optimism.
At Euro 2020, Gareth Southgate explained that his squad had "a process that works for us" and they have followed the same approach when the prospect of a shootout arises.
