The England and Germany semi-final in the European Under-21 Championship ended the way absolutely no English fan wanted it to: with penalties.
After extra time ended 2-2, it was down to the dreaded shootout to decide the winner.
And that’s when people watching took to Twitter to share their anxiety at what would happen next.
England face a penalty shootout in a semi-final against Germany. Where have we seen that before?

Sadly, it went the way many thought it would and Germany beat them 4-3 on penalties.
So, we lost to the Germans on penalties. In other news water is wet. #U21EURO #englandu21s #england

But the fans did find some positives in England keeper Jordan Pickford and were full of praise for his performance.
Jordan Pickford is going to be a very good Premie League and England No1 for many years.

Jordan Pickford is a beast. Love how he imposes himself, how vocal he is. Must be great to play in front him knowing he's protecting you.

Supporters of Everton – who’ve recently signed Pickford – in particular.
Everton have got such good gain in Jordan Pickford. Such a class goalkeeper, will go far. #ENGU21 #EngGer

I'm telling you now, Jordan Pickford will repay Everton every penny of that £30mil they paid for him… and probably so much more. Class!
