Two reports address potential penalty-takers for England if their World Cup last-16 match against Mexico ends in a shootout. Both note England’s limited experience in World Cup penalty shootouts, saying the team has won only one such shootout at a World Cup previously. The articles also reference comments attributed to Thomas Tuchel, who suggests that England may need to win multiple shootouts to succeed at the tournament in North America. The pieces frame the discussion as a practical scenario: if the England–Mexico tie does not settle in normal time and proceeds to penalties, England would need reliable options for taking kicks under high pressure. While the sources focus more on the broader likelihood and stakes of shootouts rather than listing specific players or sequences, they converge on the same theme—penalty shootout preparation is critical for England’s path in the competition, given their past record.
