Was thinking about this yesterday. If the England v Italy match goes down to a penalty shoot-out, could you see Joe stopping a Mario pen?
Can't see it myself. Has Mario ever missed a pen? Imagine the pressure on Joe if it is a sudden death situation.

he'll do what he did against scott sinclair

wait until the kick is taken then dive, chances are he wont get near it but its the only chance he'll have of saving it

Yeah, do you think Joe will give Mario the banter that he gave to Sinclair - you'll never get past me MoFo!

probably not, imo, mario wont be fazed by anything hart does, and after taking pens against him in training, he'll probably know exactly what to do to beat him from the spot

You know it will be written in the tabs on Monday. Mario breaks Englands "Hart"

Hart will expect him to stop before kicking it, but mario will hit it straight away without the pause

Ha, like it.

I'd expect Mario to tuck it away no worries.

I put my money on Balo here, Hart is good but hes not superman, and you need superpowers to take them

Joe has already come out a year or so ago and said he doesn't feel the pressure of a penalty because the pressure is on the penalty taker.

In the game it all depends on what Mario steps out onto that pitch we all know Joe Hart will be world class on Sunday it just depends if Mario is!
