Re: Who are the best penalty takers out there atm?

by fatman123 Mon Jul 18, 2011 2:14 am

lampard showed his class at the spot against west ham two seasons ago, three spot kicks in 2mins for frank lampard at upton park (taking into account their history) absolute nerves of steel right there

although CR7, ballack, and del piero do spring to mind too

I don't understand how very few people have mentioned a german. I'm sorry, but germany are undefeated in penalty shootouts in the world cup (4 won).

Kaka
Del Piero
Totti
Abreu
Ballack
Oddo (never missed in his life)
Ronaldo

Messi.

Everybody misses from time to time, so it's not fair to recall one-off occasions UNLESS it's in a crucial match.

That's not really nice. Dirk Kuyt is somebody. :geek:

cr7 i quite a good penalty taker, i tihnk cardozo deserves a shout i mean he did miss the penalty against spain, but he is excellent

by Arquitecto Mon Jul 18, 2011 7:35 am

In no order

Kaka
Ballack
Totti
Del Piero

And Gerrard (better then Kuyt at it)

by drakefyre Mon Jul 18, 2011 11:44 am

Matt Le Tissier had a record of 48/49 from the spot .

by spanky Mon Jul 18, 2011 11:53 am

elano and totti immediately come to mind

I have had to pick a player to take a penalty for my life, it'd be Dirk Kuyt for sure. I wouldn't have to even consider a second option. Nerves of steel.

idk about Messi being the best taker but I usually feel like I'm more nervous than he is.

by zarola Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:06 pm

Mario Balotelli
