The secret of England's success lies behind Pickford's water bottle. The goalkeeper has in his bottle the side and type of penalty kicks of each Swiss player.
And already in the photos that appear online, it can be seen how the goalkeeper had followed precisely the instructions he had prepared for possible penalty shots. Photos of his water bottle show that he had written on it the arm from which he had to jump on every shot of the opponents.
Jordan Pickford conceded just one penalty in today's shoot-out between England and Switzerland, but it proved crucial to secure the semi-finals for the British. He stopped the first shot executed by Manuel Akanzhi, jumping to his left to stop it.
With today's save, it turns out that he has saved 4 of the 14 penalties that have been fired against him since he debuted with this representative. This is double the number of goals conceded by England's other goalkeepers in the period 1990-2012, where 2 in 26 attempts were conceded.
