    Bad luck, coincidence, or something that runs deeper?

    Combination of all 3. The longer it goes on, the harder it is.

    Germany haven't missed a spot kick in a penalty shootout since 1986 I think I read earlier. Something like 23 penalties on the bounce.

    I think Italy had the second worse record in major tournament penalty shoot outs. I don't have facts to back this up but I seem to remember them losing quite a few.

    You're right about that I'm sure. I have a feeling they'd only ever won one before they beat France on pens in the world cup final.
