"Roy said something really interesting, off-air, which is, 'Pressure will disturb even the most professional and most calm'. That's just an example, Ian Wright, of what pressure can do to you?"Ian Wright agreed and spoke of Italy legend Roberto Baggio missing a penalty in a 1994 World Cup final shootout against Brazil and 'feeling like he had no control of his body'. Keane added, "This is just a reminder that top-level sport can be absolutely brutal. I thought England were outstanding and were the better team but you have to give France credit, because they found a way to win. They weren't at their best but they found a way to win." The former Manchester United and Ireland captain said 'you would have definitely wanted' Kane to take the second penalty kick when it was awarded, but he was expecting him to at least hit the target. The reigning world champions now face Morocco in the semi-final, with the winner taking on either Argentina or Croatia in next Sunday's final. Related articles:
