[QUOTE="Illinoise, post: 1931922, member: 3844"] I guess I need to just let this go. When I watch PKs to end a World Cup game I sense I am on some reality show, where everyone else is told to pretend this makes sense, to try and drive me insane. I guess you seem to be saying that letting the keeper actually have a chance to react to the shot instead of guess would give the goalie an unfair advantage. That is what I don’t get. Doesn’t that just make it more sporting? Having the success rate about 50% would make way more sense to me. Find a distance that allows the goalie to react instead of guess. Your comment about a kick having to be struck HARD is not really true. I’ve watched plenty where the kick is literally rolled into the goal with the goalkeeper flailing at absolutely nothing.
