As Germany and Italy took part in what was perhaps the worst penalty shootout of all time, the punters in the Transfer Tavern sat back with a few beers to watch two usually ice-cool nations completely lose their rags.
While many of those brave enough to step up and take a spot-kick were truly embarrassed, a certain Jonas Hector emerged as a hero after sending the Germans through.
The FC Koln defender has been ever so strongly linked with a move to Liverpool in recent months, with the 26-year old left-back presumably a natural remedy to any Alberto Moreno induced awfulness.
However, according to German outlet Express, Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in the €20m rated defender.
Though Danny Rose and Ben Davies performed admirably in the full-back berth last term, the North London outfit are gearing up for a return to the Champions League at long last.
With that in mind, they are said to be eyeing the Euro semi-finalist, who is capable of playing in a variety of systems.
Do Spurs really need another left-back?
