28 votes and still this close, amazing. Throw them both out.

Nah let Sheer go through, on the condition he must take a coaching course on how to play variants of 3-5-2 without wingbacks - then he’ll know the meaning of something wonderful 😂

This is my Samie moment - unless Tubbs has an alternative to this epic 28 vote clash

I'm not having anyone bow out of a semi final, we'll do pens if there's no winner.

Trend is far above that level of cowardice
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

I'm thinking Sheer is a 'dungeons and dragons in his mums basement for three days' sort of guy and Trend is a magic the gathering sort of chap (I just googled most complicated game ever, no idea what that actually is)

Pele, Keane and Beckenbauer for Drogba, Guti and Mexes and we're good to go with Trends team

Cubillas steps up first for Sheer and goes left... but Stein dives to his right to keep it out.

Sheer 0-0 Trend



Dzajic is first up for Trend and fires it right... and Reina goes the wrong way, diving to his left.  One pen, one goal for team Trend.

Sheer 0-1 Trend



Best next for Sheer, calmly dinks it down the middle... as Stein dives to the right.

Sheer 1-1 Trend



Maldini steps up for Trend, confidently passes it into the right of the goal... with Reina again guessing wrong and diving to his right.

Sheer 1-2 Trend



Pele next up, smashes it down the middle, no messing... except Stein stands his ground in the centre of the goal and gets it right in the face.  Nice save, Uli.

Sheer 1-2 Trend



Drogba follows Pele's example and tries the same thing, hammering it down the middle... but Reina has learned his lesson about diving to his right and stays central.  Easy save.

Sheer 1-2 Trend



Pressure on De Bruyne now as he steps up, but he calmly slots it to his left... and Stein dives the wrong way.

Sheer 2-2 Trend



Passarella next, smashes it high towards the top left hand corner... with Reina heading the opposite direction.  I'm sure he used to be better at pens than this.

Sheer 2-3 Trend



Roy Keane has to put this one away or his team are going home.  He takes a long run up, before completely whiffing his shot off the outside of his boot towards the right side of the goal... and Stein is completely bamboozled, sticking to his spot in the middle of the goal.

Sheer 3-3 Trend



This one to win it, and who better than Cruyff?  He nonchalantly ambles up to the ball and rolls it along the ground, straight down the middle... as Reina flings himself to his left.  It's over.

Sheer 3-4 Trend




Congrats, Trend.  Unlucky, Sheer.  Make sure you both bring all your wives to the final for the voting.

Cheers Tubs, congrats Trend. That's four shootout losses out of four, going to just sack it off if it's in this format next time.

Cheers Sheers - you are a formidable opponent with great musical taste and an interesting sister wives collection. 

Epic battle but I wonder how I’m gonna keep a giant big Nick out of my teams backside.  He’s gone all Spartan Brad Pitt with a nasty case of priapism - might just have to go for his teams balls.
