No pressure, Coco., 6:C - Crouch had already scored twice when the penalty was awarded in the 81st minute, so he took the ball and stepped up to complete what would be his first – and perhaps only – hat-trick for England. He chipped the ball towards the goal but, instead of watching it sail into the net, he looked on in horror as it flew over the bar. “It was highly embarrassing,” said Crouch later. “When that penalty went over, I thought to myself I’m never going to have another chance to score a hat-trick for my country again and I’ve just tried a Panenka. I felt like the biggest knob.” It looked as if his chance to score a hat-trick for England had gone but, with one minute left to play, he scored again. “Thank God the ball came to me, I finished off and got my hat-trick.
