"penalty shootout is a lottery".
It's the worst repeated football cliche.
It really isn't a lottery. There was 1 poor penalty last night, and it cost Rangers the game.
It's a combination of a cool head, good strikes, mind games, good goalkeeping. There is very little luck involved, if you hit it well it's impossible for the keeper to reach it.
It's as much of a lottery as a game of darts.
