Re: Best penalty taker

I may be wrong, but I think Geremi only missed a penalty once in his career.

by Yeezus Mon 19 Mar 2012, 20:16

CR7/Balotelli/Lampard/Vidal

I'm going with Lampard. Not because I'm a Chelsea fan, but because you can ALWAYS count on him when the match is on the line.

Only time I've seen him miss an important penalty was at WC '06.
Actually he has missed penalties since then,one against Almeria.

Anyway, Del Piero, Kuyt, Lampard are all world class penalty takers

Of course he has. He even missed one against Newcastle this season. I was referring to under pressure situations.

Gervinho.

Yeah, exactly. And as you said, a heck of a player to boot.

I dont think there are many with a better collection of goals either.

Nah, Balo does it with more composure and "I do this shit in my sleep" type attitude.

Lauren, even though he's probably like 35 now xD

by Arquitecto Mon 19 Mar 2012, 20:58

Of today?

In no particular order:

Michael Ballack
Steven Gerrard
Frank Lampard
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Ronaldinho.

Best would have to be Del Piero.

Back then?

Gerd Muller
Alan Shearer
Andreas Breme
Johan Cruyff
Gaizka Mendieta
And my personal best whom for some reason isn't mentioned here; Johan Neeskens

by Yeezus Mon 19 Mar 2012, 21:09

Vidal strikes em good. Scored a penalty brace against Brazil at u20 level.

by Rebaño Sagrado Mon 19 Mar 2012, 21:10

Chicharito

Lampard.

by drakefyre Mon 19 Mar 2012, 21:38

In additions to the names mentioned , I'm sure both Romario and Ronaldo have pretty awesome penalty records .

Mendieta was super cool from the spot.

Leboeuf has missed just one penalty from what I've heard.

And then there's Brehme .

by BiasedMilanFan3 Mon 19 Mar 2012, 22:18

Ibraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

by dronte Mon 19 Mar 2012, 22:24

I'd go with Ibra, probably because I saw several of his penalties and almost 100% of them are perfectly taken.. Not saying he is the best in the world, but from what I've seen, he is the best for me.

by LeSwagg James Mon 19 Mar 2012, 22:27

Penaldo or Lampard

by halamadrid2 Mon 19 Mar 2012, 22:50

Definitely not Ronaldo :vagi:
