Re: World Cup 2018: The best party money could buy (until 2022)!
Dumb question... just watched the highlights of Mexico-Sweden, and saw that penalty in the box- which was pretty much done to prevent a score.
In hockey, doing something like that makes some sense- as even penalty shots are not so high percentage.
But in football- it seems that a penalty shot would be a higher percentage goal vs. kind of following the guy hard and making him attempt the shot. In other words, it seems as if you go for the tackle that is very high risk for a penalty shot, it's actually better to force a shot.
Is that accurate or not?
