Very poor penalties. Shame Croatia have scrapped through but I suppose it would be too much too all after who else as already gone out
yeah very poor efforts. a lot of focus on the keeper not on what they were going to do themselves. a lot were telegraphed.
Too many trying to place it. After 120mins of football in high heat, it's not that easy to do. Just smash it!
Yeah it has to be a taught skill or smash it. at least 3 were so obvious. if your run up givrs the game away you shouldn't be trying to fool a keeper at this level.
See, I said smash it but I'd go for placement myself. Reason being, I'm very good at penalties (for my ability level) and I'm confident of putting the ball in the side netting where the keeper won't get it even if they go the right way. I usually call goal or miss from those run ups too btw, often easy to tell.
