EURO 2024 promises such high-octane drama that penalty shootouts sound almost inevitable.

The Three Lions never liked penalties as they have lost a staggering six out of nine attempts throughout their long World Cup, Euro and Nations League history.

No one promises Gareth Southgate's side won't have to go through their 10th shootout in Germany, which is the country that has caused them a lot of hurt throughout the years.

If the procedure ends in a draw then both teams move on to sudden death.

Sudden death rules dictate that every player from each team will have to take a shot until a victor emerges.

The five players who took on a penalty kick can't shoot again during sudden death unless all their other teammates have a go and a winner is still not crowned.

Of course, no penalty shootouts will occur during the group stages of the European tournament.
