He's a professional footballer, the easiest way to score for a striker should be with a penalty.
Indeed, I think some people live life in slow motion replay mode.Clearly you guys have never taken a penalty, you make it sound so easy.
Precisely....Agreed. By the time he struck the ball the keeper was already the other side of the goal. All he had to do was roll it in.
It is. Pick the side of your kicking foot, my right for me. Aim just inside the post, hit with enough pace (you don't need to blast it, a good solid side foot should be enough) and keep it low. That way you're bending around the dive of the keeper and inside of the post. I always found going the other way meant you were in danger of getting the ball within the keepers reach to make sure you got it inside the post and if he did get a touch he wouldn't need as much to divert it around the post as the ball would be curving awayClearly you guys have never taken a penalty, you make it sound so easy.
The penalty was not invented yesterday, Proper. He's a professional footballer ; he had the keeper at his mercy but belted the ball instead of placing it. Yes, anybody can make a bad miss, and he did. That's a FACTClearly you guys have never taken a penalty, you make it sound so easy.
Oh, and don't change your mind. That's a sure fire way to miss.It is. Pick the side of your kicking foot, my right for me.

Unless you’re Matt Le Tissier. Saw a video he did on penalty taking and he said he’d often change his mind just as he was about to hit the ball if he saw the ‘keeper begin to dive the way he was planning to go.Oh, and don't change your mind. That's a sure fire way to miss.
