[QUOTE="Teh Mite, post: 394676, member: 12332"] Cracking under pressure (or bottling it) is a better explanation - The examples listed above are perfect. Stephen Myler not calling for the DG in last years Premiership Semi-final is another. Arsenal falling behind in the ***le race at the end of the season, Shalke being thumped at home by Man United on Tuesday despite scoring a billion at the San Sero, England not turning up at Lansdowne road for the Slam-Decider - I'd call all of them choking. Not quite the same as "not living up to expectation" IMO. That just implies the team aren't as good compared to media hype - e.g. England football in any Tournament. [/QUOTE]
