It's a lot like pitching in baseball, it's not that hard to throw a strike if the only thing you care about is throwing a strike, but if you want to throw a strike that also beats the batter then you have to try to put mustard on it and then you get it slightly wrong and throw it over the umpire.

Plus you have to keep in mind that penalty shootouts are a rare occurrence overall, and most teams have one dude that takes all their penalties. Once you get to #4 in a shootout it's basically a bunch of guys stepping up to the spot who basically never take serious penalties outside of this one moment
Also, usually players do score penalties it's just this is a new match ball so you've got the quirk of never taking penalties in your career AND using an unfamiliar ball. Then you also have the crushing pressure of your entire country's future being on you, it all makes a difference.
There is a method of cutting past this that some countries don't believe in which is to heavily rehearse the entire penalty shootout and plan it all out so when a shootout happens it's all down to luck of the opposition keeper making crazy saves. I could tell Paraguay had practised very hard for the penalty shootout because the 2nd penalty shooter did a disguised run and went the other way and then their 3rd penalty shooter did the exact same thing but the other way. All choreographed like a dance, while Germany were all disjointed, big distances between players, looking down, manager looking away, had no idea who was taking the 6th penalty until Tah stepped up when nobody else wanted to.
 
Mexicans have been running their fucking mouths against Ecuador for the past few days. This match will be very difficult, but I'm keeping my hopes up.

It is funny seeing from outside, because Ecuador is so much better than Mexico but they have such a dogshit finishing it makes them seem bad.

Mexico stumbled into 3 wins and thinks they are hotshit is also funny. When they lose it will be a funny wakeup call.
 
Christ, I am tired of those soccer players going down to ground and writhing about at any bit of contact. Soccer would be so much better if they played physically and didn't bait for fouls constantly. I've seen so many good chances blown up because they go down instead of fighting through it. It's even more pathetic when both go down and try to manipulate the ref.

Having come from following the NHL season, it is such a strange difference. Hockey players get hit in the mouth with an eighty mile an hour puck, spit their teeth out and keep playing. Meanwhile a stiff breeze from another player causes soccer players to fall down and act like they got shot

Fans hate it as much as those who watch on occasion or just watch the World Cup. Unfortunately it's incentivized and almost impossible to fully combat. Players in any sport if given an inch will take a mile so it's on the governing bodies and referees to crack down which they just won't, so we're stuck with grown men coming off as pussies to everybody with a set of eyeballs and the sport itself carrying around a stench because of sissies diving at the hint of a side eye. You've seen it metastasize in the NBA over the decades when 40 years ago virtually nobody flopped around, where today LeBron or SGA's antics are the norm.

Because soccer over time has been molly coddled like the NBA.

The rules over time pretty much favor being a deceitful pussy until VAR showed up to cuck South American monkeys.

You are an american cuck who never played football in your whole life. Do you really think people are just pretending that when some rough game gets going on there is no pain involved?

See this photo? This is Endrick at 16 YEARS OLD, look the size of his leg. And that is the thing, that is NORMAL for most players. Now add a little bit of physics, inercia, and power and you will realize that someone running over you and lifting you up from the ground isn't pretending to be hurt.

And this is just pros, go to any amateur level where adults play and you will be bodied by a random bloke anytime. America cucks plays football when they are young kids and thinks that that idea is how adults play and have no idea how much strength you need to play at pro level.

Your idea of football is why american football has the most nigger behaviour thinking it is a symbol of strength bonking their retarded heads against each other and getting CTEs becoming even more of a retarded inbred americuck raised in alabama that has more corn syrup in their veins than blood. To say shit like this is to showcase that you never stepped up in a football field and played against anyone to say such stupid & retarded, american (pleonasm) take. To ignore physics at this level is the apex of stupidity and to not realize that there is no padding, armor, helmets or anything to stop some 80kg running at full force and kicking your leg and he thinks that they are pretending to be hurt. God Americans are fucking stupid.


But enough of rambling about retarded takes coming from retarded americans.

Here is the current livestreaming records on youtube, more people watched Paraguay win over Brasil vs Morocco which was surprising and again the first record was taken with the Japan game.
