Do you worry for Italy if it goes to penalties?

Question

Three names that stick out immediately are Pirlo, De Rossi and Di Natale.

Pirlo, as good as he is, is very hit or miss with penalties. His stye doesn't suit penalties in my opinion. He has a very relaxed run up. He scores some (World Cup Final in 2006) and others he has taken very poorly (Champions League Final in 2005).

De Rossi is the same. As great as he is his penalty taking is suspect. Sometimes its great, sometimes its poor. I wouldn't trust him.

Di Natale...do I really need to say? He chokes at the big level when he needs to score them. Don't trust him.

Meanwhile, Balotelli takes great spotkicks but Joe Hart of Man City is in goal and will know Balo more than anyone.

Whilst all have the potential to score (and when they do score penalties they're great) I worry for Italy if it goes to penalties...

Thoughts?

Nope.. not Against England
Buffon is better than Hart

And England also have penalty chokers: John Terry, Gerrard, Carroll, Walcott, Rooney..
