KRAKOW, Poland--Even before reaching the quarterfinals, England coach Roy Hodgson had his European Championship squad practicing penalties.

It's little wonder after so many heartaches over the years turned taking spotkicks into a national phobia for England players.

England has lost five out of six shootouts in World Cups and European Championships, and could face another on Sunday if it's all square against Italy in their Euro 2012 quarterfinal.

Hodgson says "you can practice penalty shootouts until the cows come home, it's really your composure, your confidence, your ability to really block everything out and forget the occasion that means you score or you don't score." (AP/aph)
