Tegis Posted June 28, 2012 Author VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2012 Apparently it is a myth that you cannot change the order of penalty takers. From FIFA "Laws of the game" * Each team is responsible for selecting the players from those on the field of play at the end of the match and the order in which they will take the kicks. So no, not a myth for the first 10 pens According to Dermot Gallagher you do not need to actually submit the list to the referee. The list is just for the manager to decide the order. But you can change the order if you want to e.g. Ronaldo could have gone instead of Bruno Alves. Right. FIFA rules in a "open for debate/misinterpret" shocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 28, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2012 I don't read that as a 'rule of order' as such - to me, it says, as I said, that should the game go to penalties, the teams themselves are responsible for sorting out who is taking one and when. It doesn't suggest to me that once you say Alves is going 4th, you cannot go 'Actually, no, lets have him go 3rd'. Basically, it's saying the takers and when they take them is on the team to decide as they wish. Not that once decided it's a binding decision.

Tegis Posted June 28, 2012 Author VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2012 So from all this, we can conclude that Nani is an utter and complete word removed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 28, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2012 I don't think it matters all that much in the end. Had Alves walked up first or third or whenever, like he did, and I had the chance, I'd have stuck a lot of money on him missing. You could tell he was not keen on taking it which I think plays a very big role in taking a pen, if you're confident you'll score, you at least put it on target I think. He looked like he was walking to the gallows, with a heavy heart. Whereas Nani went up with an air that said 'I'm either going to score or kill Casillas with this pen'.

Mantis Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Agreed. Don't think I've ever been so sure about somebody missing a penalty before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I don't know what kind of strategy it was putting your two central defenders (one of whom clearly didn't volunteer) before your captain and probably best pen taker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Agreed. Don't think I've ever been so sure about somebody missing a penalty before. Young was just as bad, he actually looked like he crapped himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 i think its a level of arrogance from ronaldo he wnate dthe limelight if it was winning penalty. the whole process of taking penalties from portugual was embarassing but nobody criticizing is Fabregas he let 2 defenders go ahead of him as well. just cause its Ronaldo he is getting this treatment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 28, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2012 Exactly. And why is it automatically his fault? What if it was the coach who said "I want you taking the 5th because it might be crucial"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted June 28, 2012 Moderator Share Posted June 28, 2012 Ronnie was asked if he'd like to take the 5th and he said yes. So the option was there for him to take an earlier one. If he had any sense he would have taken an earlier one. It's not hypothetical or hindsight to say that. It's common sense. Everyone knows a shootout doesn't necessarily get 10 penalties taken. You make sure your best get to take one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
