Balotelli penalties

sincity said:
The commentators on Fox Sports were saying that "stuttering" before taking the penalty kick was against the rules or something, and that Balotelli should have been carded..
Is there really a rule against this? or were they just being jealous t*ats?
Cos I've always seen C.Ronaldo take his penalties the same way...

Only is he stops completely, but with Mario his run is only slowed down.
 
Dont think i've ever seen anyone on the same level as elano when it comes to penalties, and well set pieces in general!

This I believe is true. Why every keeper dives to the right baffles me. I have never seen him put a PK to the right. Someone school me with a video please!
 
Mark Ward was the best penalty taker I've seen in the last 30 odd years for us. Seemed like he managed to put them all in off the inside of the post, keepers never had a chance with any of them.

Tin hat on....I actually quite liked Mark Ward for us, wasn't his fault that we lost Bishop and Morley.
 
his confidence makes it very tough for the keeper to know what he will do before he even takes the penalty nevermind what direction to go to.
 
Its very hard for the keeper to guess the right way because Balotelli only knows where he is putting it right up until the last moment.

During is run up he is looking at the keeper to see where he moves. Thats why most of the time he sends the keeper the wrong way.

Th best one was Brad Friedel last season, the second pen against Villa. He had no clue where to dive so he just fell to the floor! Balotelli is the coolest penalty taker i have seen!
 
He needs to mix them up with a few conventional penalties, keep them guessing.
