You're not the only one. However really self confident ones like Richardson hardly ever miss. I personally don't trust Giggs, Saha and Evra in a shoot out situation.. And I lost faith in Scholes' penalties for shoot outs. Even though he isn't left footed.....

Left footers usually don't have variety in where they hit their penalties and hence are easier for keepers to read.

I'm trying really hard to understand that. There should not be a difference in a left footed and right footed penalty taker.
Where am i going wrong?

Go and watch several left footers taking penalties. And count the number of times you are right about where they will place the ball.

Go and watch a re -run of either Chelsea's last penalty shoot out vs Liverpool and count the number of times the left footers of both sides put the ball in the same direction.

I can't see the correlation Rubberman.
It's just the same action with the opposite foot.

Believe what you want. What you say above is a total myth. Years of watching and participating in penalty shoot outs has taught me that. Just like it's a myth that penalties are a lottery...

Mozza · 12th May 2007, 23:47

You're talking absolute bollocks

KingEric7 · 12th May 2007, 23:50

I still don't understand Rubberman. There is no difference whatsoever. It would only make a difference if the ball was off centre.

Shut up you mong! During any of these 'years of watching and participating in penalty shootouts' did you realise that you're an idiot?

KingEric7 · 12th May 2007, 23:54

This is what Brad Cantona has been waiting for....

Your argument doesn't make any sense though. Therefore it is invalid.

You German?
If that is so, then everything you have said is right.
Damn those bastards with their penalties.
On another note, your argument is bollocks.

You believe what you want. The next shoot out you watch with left footers participating, you will be able to accurately predict where each left footer will place his penalty. then you will remember what I said. Till
then believe what you want. It makes no difference to me.

That's like asking me to prove that 2+2=4. It's blatently obvious to anyone with half a mind that being right or left footed has no bearing whatsoever as to how varied your penalty kicks are. Can left-footed players not kick the ball in certain diretions or something?

Well why would any manager let their left-footed players take penalties? Have they not noticed that left-footed players cannot kick the ball to the right? You should get in touch with SAF and let him in on your discovery before it's too late and he lets Giggs take one!

idiot.

Ps.

Players with an E in their first name can't tackle. FACT!

It's not an argument. It's statement of fact. I could careless whether you accept it or not.

How is it fact? It clearly isn't. You're the only one here who thinks it is.

You are a pure moron. I never said they can't take penalties or they can't score them either. I just said their's are easier to read. But this escaped your sight. Since you lack a proper functioning brain to actually control it. If you can't take a fact. Fuck you. That's YOUR darn problem not mine. You tosser
