Friday's debate - penalty or not?

Here's a great piece of skill from South America - quick feet, bamboozled the defender and was in on goal.

But then he goes to ground.

Penalty? Dive? Play on? Don't care because you're still trying to work out how to do the trick?

 

Will Smith's 'penalty' made me go to the Carlton dance

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was funny, some of his films are good (struggling to name any tho) and he always seemed like a nice enough guy, but Will Smith just blew his credibility.

How hard is it to kick a ball? I'm not asking you to put it in the top corner or find a teammate from 50 yards - just kick the ball. Toe punt it, sidefoot it, or just practice before turning up at an event and making a fool of yourself.

Carlton would be laughing and dancing at your embarrassment now (so here's his video to cheer me up!)

When you least expect it

Do we ever look where the ball goes when a penalty is missed? I hear that some of Sergio Ramos' efforts have landed on the moon, Chris Waddle's effort is still rising, and Diana Ross's 1994 effort almost caused her to die of embarrassment. (I'll have to look that up, as she still deserves a slap with a wet fish).
