I have never understood any approach other than just hammering it.

Hit it hard enough and the chances of a save, even if the keeper guesses right, are slim.

The stutter is a rare combination of something that should be against the rules + constantly ****ed up. I don't care if his feet are technically moving, he stopped. It violates everything about the intent of the rule.

They are all afraid of hammering it 30 feet over goal like so many have

Just hit with a combination of pace and accuracy. Don't even have to hit it 100%, you can hit it like 75-80% and side netting and the keeper is never saving it
You do need to be able to hit this shot to both sides though, or you might be too obvious with all the video review they do

This is why you learn when you're 6 to keep your head down.

Physics make it hard to sky a ball when you're leaning forward.

Yeah, safely inside post with decent pace will go in the vast, vast majority of the time. Just work on not giving a tell too early. The high stuff is at risk of sailing. 100% blast isn't needed. And the stutter is just nonsense

Wouldn't expect anything different.

But Norway has Haaland.

Norway playing with fire. Can't turn it over in your own box.

Alisson makes it look so easy. Nice save.

Odegaard really should have buried that. His finishing has really dropped the last 2 years

Even if the match goes awry we're scoring early off the pitch via FIFA and the internet.

I'm cracking up listening to the guy who's Hand of Frog is most directly responsible for VAR who is sitting there questioning why FIFA would get involved.

I'm mean it's not like they looked the other way when you cheated. Right Henri? Right?

Obviously these pro players didnt learn that I gusee with so many that sky the ball over the goal. It doesn't seem hard for a professional, but so many are resorting to gimmicky kicks because they dont trust themselves or else there would be zero reason not to go with power.

Not saying you are wrong, but it crazy how many guys cant seem to trust themselves. At their level they should bury the pen 9 out of 10

A lot of players are more style than substance. They'd rather have the chance at outsmarting the keeper and showing him up over just scoring

It's a hard, pressure filled situation which is why these guys are paid millions a year. And in the moment, yeah, a lot of them get in their heads and forget the basics.

If you want an example of what it can do to high level pros…

I don't believe that Nagelsmann didn't aleady have a list of players 1-11 to take PKs. It's negligent to wait right before the shootout to determine who's gonna take the PKs.

But then again, Nagelsmann did get fired so maybe he's that incompetent.
