Toon Army Triumphs in Penalty Drama
Newcastle United supporters were overjoyed as their defender Fabian Schar successfully converted a penalty against England’s Jordan Pickford during Switzerland’s recent shoot-out. Pickford, who is often seen as a villain by Newcastle fans due to his Sunderland roots and current Everton tenure, was outsmarted in the European Championships quarter-final clash.
Schar’s Spot-Kick Sends Toon Fans Wild
During the tension-filled penalty shoot-out, which England won 5-3 to secure a semi-final spot, Schar coolly placed his shot into the bottom left corner. Pickford, having dived to the right, was left grasping at air, much to the elation of the Newcastle faithful, the Toon Army. The moment was made sweeter by the revelation that Pickford’s water bottle had advised him to dive in the opposite direction to Schar’s actual shot.
Social Media Erupts with Newcastle Pride
Fans wasted no time taking to social media to celebrate Schar’s victory over Pickford, framing it as a symbolic win for Newcastle over Sunderland. Tweets flooded in, with some fans prioritizing club loyalty over national pride, declaring Schar’s goal as the highlight of the match. They expressed their preference for Schar to score, even if it meant potential consequences for England’s campaign.
Pickford Becomes the Butt of Jokes
Despite England’s overall success in the penalty shoot-out, it was Pickford who became the focus of jests online. Newcastle fans mocked the England goalkeeper with playful taunts, highlighting the friendly rivalry between the clubs and their supporters. Tweets ranged from light-hearted banter to reminders of past victories, with the Newcastle contingent clearly relishing Schar’s personal win over Pickford.
Newcastle’s Transfer Optimism
In the midst of the penalty shoot-out reactions, there’s also positive news on the transfer front for Newcastle. The club is reportedly close to securing a new deal with forward Alexander Isak, signaling a continued commitment to strengthening the squad.
