[QUOTE="Illinoise, post: 1931719, member: 3844"] Can some soccer enthusiasts please help this casual soccer fan? Why wouldn’t it be infinitely more entertaining to watch penalty kicks if they moved the dot back to a distance that resulted in a lower % of PK’s succeeding instead of 80%? I understand a PK during the game for a foul needs to have a high success rate to reward the team that has been fouled but in overtime I don’t get it. It’s so unsatisfying to watch the goaltender have to literally guess instead of react. This isn’t the way to let these incredible athletes display their skill, is it? Move it to a distance that requires a great strike to score and disincentives the goalie to flail at nothing by guessing wrong. [/QUOTE]
