Ah, penalty shootouts are a cruel lottery of nerve and guesswork—the kicker decides where to shoot, the goalkeeper must choose a side before the ball is struck. Yet people say it is pure chance, but I disagree, because my son practices reading a kicker’s hips and plant foot for hours in our muddy field. His mother scolds him for tracking mud into the house, but when he guesses ‘bhul’ and makes a save, all that mud feels like a trophy.
