  1. It's not that 'the ball can be passed'

    The rule is the penalty taker must hit the ball forward. And as soon as he does ANY OTHER PLAYER (or the goal post) can/ must then make contact with the ball before the penalty taker can touch the ball again

  2. Fifa fr hates goalkeepers. Attackers can do so much during penalty kicks (pass, stutter, etc..) yet goalkeepers can't do anything. They have to stay on the line and cant even distract the taker anymore. If goalkeepers can't distract the taker then takers shouldn't be allowed to do a stutter run up.

  3. Jesper Olsen was such a good player…
    He made a terrible mistake in 1986 world cup, against Spain. That still traumatises the danish national team. And Jesper became a scapegoat…
    We also had a magnificent team with Laudrup, Elkjær, Simonsen and more

  4. As a kid I thought of this move, probably around the time Henry & Robert did it maybe a touch after. I thought I was a genius (didn't know about passing law), then years later saw the story of them

  5. Now hat goalkeepers aren't allowed to dance around on the goal line for a penalty, this technique could actually make saving a penalty almost impossible if teams perfected it and used it every time.
