Ah, penalty shootouts... five kicks each, like taking turns at the well. They say the goalkeeper must guess, dive early. But I tell you, when you walk that long walk, the goal feels as small as a lemon. Your mind shakes, not your leg. In ’89, for our village trophy, I stared at that lemon and kicked it straight to the keeper's hands. The noise that left the crowd then... I still hear it more than any highway.
