On penalties ...

Post by JimmyDee »

I'm sure I've said this before, but if it's a "soft" penalty it's worth putting a small bet on the penalty not being scored, if you can get in quick enough. It's as if the penalty-taker is a bit embarrassed, and his heart really isn't in it.

That's actually to their credit, though, when you think about it.

The moment the penalty taker gets swapped you know it’s never going in.

One hesitates to say "told you", but I did.

Messi's "penalty" yesterday, for example .... saved!

Top Tip: don't bring a "penalty specialist" on with 2 mins of extra-time to go for the shoot-out.

Top Tip: Put your fucking foot through the ball, every time.

Or: If you about to take a penalty that will be shown of Moroccan television for the rest of your life, you might as well make it a panenka.
