Andrea Pirlo’s Penalty Versus England

What an absolutely cool penalty kick by Andrea Pirlo for Italy. Chipping the ball right down the middle of the goal to beat the diving Joe Hart.

Zidane did it in the World Cup final. Now Pirlo does it in the quarter finals of the 2012 European Championship. It takes a lot of guts to step up when your team is losing in a shootout and take a penalty like this. Watch.
