Breds a penalty miss...is a choke
It takes skill yes...one that is practiced...but it is SUPPOSED TO BE A GOAL.
Save, kick over, hit wide...you miss a goal from a set piece with no physical pressure.
I not saying it doh happen to the best...but for some they doh miss often if atall.
But those are special players that I doubt you or anyone else could see a legimate comparison to any of our current crop of local players. I understand your view but unless he telegraph it and the kepper save it, I cah see dat as a choke. Keeper have to make a decision before the ball kick so when they stop it I credit a combination of luck adn good technique to the keeper.
Breds I know we players not that hot on a intl scale but we ent dat shitty...and a penalty is a different skill.
It is all practice, technique and mental nerves.
If the man is a pro and the designated penalty taker for the side then he should know what he about.
We go agree to disagree...my view is a penalty = goal.
Additionally I doh give the keeper no pips in a penalty save...if the kicker hit it right, it ent have nuttin the keeper could do. All the keeper could do is flap and jump and move to psych out the kicker..but if the kicker know what he about...is goal. Most penalty miss is the kicker making the error.
But let me reiterate my original grouse...as with el salvador..a game is about momentum...when yuh have a side 2-0 and will make it 3-0 and kill a game. You make sure and handle yuh scenes or it will come back to bite yuh in yuh tail.
