England removed Switzerland of the Eurocup this Saturday by winning the penalty shootout, but the outcome of this quarterfinal matchup could have been very different if Xherdan Shaqiri hopefully would have scored instead of coming close to doing so on a play late in overtime.
In particular, it was in the 116th minute when the talented Swiss attacker had a corner kick in what was one of the last acts of extra time. Instead of centering, he tried to score an Olympic goal, but the ball crashed into the crossbar.
Jordan himself Pickfordgoalkeeper of England, he realizes how close tragedy is for him and his people. So he turned around Shaqiri and smiled nervously. He escaped, and then contributed to the penalty shootout in England, and not in Switzerland, which qualified.
