    The first guy that did it. Panenka, with everything on the line, the final penalty kick in the final of the European championship...

    Loco Abreu also gave Uruguay the decisive goal for them to be in WC2010.

    I know it has nothing to do with this thread, but, he reminds me why my country is not in the WC this year every time I hear or read his name.

    I love the game theory behind penalties. When the goalie always dives to a side, the 'Panenka' through the middle is perfect.

    Penalty specialists know how to send the goalie the wrong way. They also line up straight behind the ball, so as not to give away any corner. Ribery is so in the moment that he doesn't know which way he will kick it even during his run up to the ball. Randomness rulez.

    Graham Alexander scored an outside of the foot penalty 2 weeks ago, for Burnley, away to Hull. 2 infact.
