If the goalies just wait for the shot....they would stop 30% and another 25% missed.

Lindy Delapenha used to say when it comes to penalties, kick low, hard and wide.

Read back what I said...this is fixed for Argentina to get to the final
My friend that you said it does not mean that it is so. The Egyptian coach said he feels there was injustice and he feels it was unfair. This is the old bait switch. Notice it’s no longer about the facts but how he feels. And you can’t dispute feelings whether one is right or wrong. It’s how one feels.
Similarly, with fans feelings for the team they will support. For example, tomorrow’s game between France and Morocco. There will be those who will support Morocco because it’s a Muslim country and then they are those who will support Morocco because it’s an African country. They are not wrong. It is their prerogative.
Then they are those who will support Morocco because France was a colonial power and those who have suffered under colonialism rightfully feels the need to support Morocco. They are not wrong. It’s their prerogative. Similarly, the Eurocentric fans will support France. They also are not wrong either. It’s their prerogative.
it’ll be an amazing game tomorrow.

Officiating games and the use of technology must be "measured" In cricket if a man plays a shot and tried on his stump, one bail falls and only after he runs 3 ump realizes he's out because that's 'one play'. So decision can be reversed However, if technology shows that two balls a batsman was given out to a no ball he can't be recalled. Relate this to yesterday's game. Ref didn't call a foul and 4 "plays" later a goal was scored. Would there have been a review of a tackle 17 seconds after a 'foul' a ref deemed not even important enough to warrant a free kick if no goal was scored. The man's "feelings" fact-based

@CWW

Best penalty is high n wide pigeon-hole. But there's the risk of clearing the bar so it takes great skill and supreme confidence to do it. Regarding waiting to see where it's kicked only 1/10 would be saved. Few humans have the reflexes to stop a power shot from the penalty spot by moving only after it is kicked.
