PERFECT PENALTIES

As a versatile, all-rounder you may be called upon to take a penalty kick. A penalty kick is a type of free kick that you take 12 yards (11 metres) out from the goal. Only the goalkeeper of the defending team is between you and the goal. The penalty kick was invented in 1891 by William McCrum, a Victorian textile tycoon and amateur goalkeeper.

THE BEST AND THE ERR … WORST!

England have the worst record in penalty shootouts of all the major football nations: a measly 17% success rate while Argentina have a whopping 73% success rate!
