    I mean it looks cute, but I'm not a huge fan of it!! I think pk's need to be crisp in one straight, forward motion!!

    I personally don't like it and think it should be against the rules. But the refs also need to be more consistent on calling goalies who step off the line too early.

    Beautiful to watch no doubt, but I think that it puts the goalie already at a disadvantage to more of a disadvantage.

    Really nice.
    In Europe they call it Panenka-Penalty: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4_7PKgxRs4"]YouTube - Antonín Panenka - Simply The Best[/ame]

    But it seems, there is a special brazilian-tradition with it. Isnt it?
