In open play, the better team will cause more opportunities that may result in a goal - and these opportunities sometimes have a higher chance of converting (which the better teams will cause more often) than a penalty shot (the goalie is totally out of position, and you basically have an open net, stuff like that).

But if the score is still even after 90 minutes and extra time then generally the teams are pretty equal. Then it comes down to mental toughness and handling the pressure, players at this level should be able to hit the target from there every time.

Great reference, I remember when that song was in literally every sports tribute video

Perhaps the most tragic part of this post is you know he googled the full line before posting it
Go to bed, Shrimper
So a golf swing is luck? Gotta be lucky and not have some magical force of physics appear mid-way through your swing and drastically affect it.
No one is saying there isn't luck involved in sports. We're saying that your reasoning as to why there's luck involved is incorrect.
Players millions of golf balls, shoot millions of pucks, and kick millions of balls in order to gain full control over their motion. If a player plants his foot differently and misses the net by 2 inches, it's not because he got unlucky, it's because he ****ed up.

******* in the zoo telling me, always in the gorilla exhibit Harambe ain’t bout this, Harambe ain’t bout that My boy a SB on ****ing Cincinnati and them He, he they say that ape don’t be putting in no work SHUT THE **** UP! Y'all animals ain’t know **** All y'all humans talk about Harambe ain’t no hitta Harambe ain’t this Harambe a fake SHUT THE **** UP Y'all don’t live with that ape Y'all know that ape got caught dropping with a 3 year old running from the zookeeper and **** ape been in shot down since ****in, I don’t know when! Mother****ers stop ****in' playin' him like that Them zookeepers and animals savages out there If I catch another human talking sweet about Harambe I’m ****ing beating they ass! I’m not ****ing playing no more You know those apes role with Florida'Gator, Caesar and them.

TJ, call me when you find a player in the world that can precisely hit the ball 1000 times in a net with a variance that is half the diameter of the soccer ball or less when put in ideal conditions.
Or a golf player that can hit a, I don't know, target with a diameter of 1m from a distance of about 200 yards.
In either case, you will get what will appear to be a gaussian distribution of the position around the intended target. Does that mean the player ****ed up on all shots that were not on the target? Nope. The player likely ****ed up for the shots that were at least 1 (maybe even 2) standard deviations from the intended mean, but that's about 70/95% of the shots a player doesn't screw drastically.
Even a machine will not achieve perfect accuracy for those sports.
The variance that is created is undoubtly created by uncontrollable factors, which I've stated many times. The accumulation of all those can have a noticeable impact.
Even the most trained athlete will not have 100% perfect motion control for kicking a ball, swinging a club, etc. And as I said, unperfect motion is not the only factor.

While I'd love to continue this scintillating discussion on physics and the statistical distribution of penalty kicks, I'm heading out for dinner.
I will report back in later.

Soliloquy of a Dogge
I love you, Boots
You know that feeling where you sleep, and sleep and sleep some more but feel more tired than before you went to sleep?
Stayed up all night. Watched some of Djokovic's 3rd set at around 6ish AM, fell back asleep during rain delay, watched some of Djokovic's match in the 4th set, fell back asleep during the rain delay, woke back up and watched the end of the match. Took an hour cat nap big spooning my dog. Woke up. Watched show about aliens for 30 minutes. Took a 2 hour nap afterwards and I'm still lethargic...
