England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has declared himself ready to take a penalty for his country at the 2026 World Cup. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Admitting that he is currently balancing his goalkeeping duties with penalty practice ahead of the World Cup, Pickford stated that he hopes to play a decisive role at both ends of the pitch.
The goalie, however, added that his primary responsibility remains protecting England’s goal throughout the tournament.
His words, “Yes. I’d back myself 100 per cent. I’ll put the practice in and execute it.
I want to focus on the saving as well. So there is a balance. If called upon, I play for England, I represent the country, so I’ll step up and take it when needs be. I’m keeping that work close to my chest. We’ll probably start implementing that a little bit, soon.”
WOW.
