Verde, you hade a man streaking down the middle and you kicked it out of bounds wide. WTF are you doing.
Seems like the best spot to kick it a lot of times is straight down the middle.
I sort of agree. But if you do that and the goalie doesn't move, it's going to be a bad look, like you kicked the ball right into his hands.
Pretty much 99% of the time. But I did see one game that went to penalties (can't remember when) and the goalie somehow intuiting that a center shot was coming. He basically just stuck his hands out and ended with a big smile on his face.
The safest shots are low left or low right. The goalie has a chance on those if he guesses right (unlike top corners), but that chance is really small if it's hit well and there's far less chance of it sailing than trying for a top corner blast.
Pressure is still real, though. Consider this- Steph Curry is almost indisputably the best shooter who has ever played basketball. You can find a video of him hitting 101 threes in a row in practice, and I'm sure he's capable of hitting twice as many FT's. Yet his career FT% (which is the best ever) still involves him missing 7/100 in game situations.
