England's World Cup penalty shoot-out triumph over Colombia breaks a losing streak in major tournaments that stretches back 22 years.
The Three Lions have only won one of the seven penalty shootouts that they’ve been involved in at major tournaments.
That win came at Euro 1996, when Shearer, Platt, Pearce and Gascoigne all netted against Spain.
But even that quarter-final victory was tainted when they lost to Germany in the semi-finals just days later - with now-manager Gareth Southgate missing the crucial spot kick.
Our win ratio going in to this year's tournament of one in seven - just 14% - is the worst of any team playing in Russia.

And it's worse when you look at just World Cup shoot-outs.
England were the only team in the world to have taken part in three World Cup shoot-outs and lost them all.
In contrast, Germany have been involved in four World Cup shoot-outs and have won them all.
It's no surprise then that Southgate has had his side practising for the dreaded shoot-out.
He said: "If the game goes beyond 90 and extra time, we’re prepared for that as well. Plenty of work has gone on for that eventuality."
Here's England's 28 years of penalty shoot-out hurt in full...
