Best Penalty kick ever taken

November 19th 2008 01:30

The brilliance in its simplicity and the inventiveness of the Dutch is unreal.

Then again, some would argue they are over complicating the most mundane task of beating the keeper one-on-one from all of 8 yards...

still... (England Take note)

I guess it would only be fair to show you some of the worst penalty kicks ever taken...

Pirez... what were you thinking?

Those were hilarious!!! Though the Beckham one wasn't completely his fault. I remember the game and there something wrong with the grass at that spot - a little knoll or something - because right after him Rui Costa's shot did the exact same thing.

yeh, but it was an infamous miss nonetheless...

I have a feeling it was a World Cup qualifier as well? England and penalties just don't sit well together...
