yes. but at that point portugal was tied.
Germany was saved by that late goal, so France, Germany and Portugal made it out.

Usually it's Portugal that is the 2nd best team on the pitch but a moment of superb finish steals a game for them, was weird to watch it in reverse today.

Mbappe looked shaky before he put the ball on the spot. He didnt look confident at all. You almost felt the energy from the Swiss keeper, and knew he would save.
France go home.
Penalties are crushing. So much on the line after such a hard fought match.

As much crap as Ronaldo gets for whatever % of his goals are penalties...you know that guy steps up and buries that kick.

I am of the opinion that your star player/finisher should take the spot 1st or 3rd.
Putting them last heaps an undue amount of pressure on them if its the deciding kick. In that scenario you mine as well just have a regular player take the spot, as he gets the chance to be a hero, rather than put in a position to be the duck, like Mbappe.
I have seen Messi miss pivotal penalties, as well as numerous other instances of the star player missing at the spot because it was up to him. The counter argument is that they SHOULD relish the moment and thats why you have that player is for the big moments etc, but history shows when it comes to penalties, it doesnt really give you any advantage.
Id rather have Ronaldo go first and slot as cool as you like. Then the rest of the players just have to do their job.
