I don't think for a second that the England team played for the shootout. It's obvious that they were trying to win the game on the field.

This is a cool site from the BBC that shows a computer version of the major England plays from the game;

Beckham has now missed the last 3 penalties;
Turkey / France / Portugal. I am a huge Beckham fan but he had a hugely disappointing tournement. As mentioned before Steve Gerard had a great outing apart from the all important last game against Portugal. I wonder if England would have looked a little sharper if they had the extra days rest as Portugal had.
