Best Penalty kick taker? (1 Viewer)

[cuore]

whos your favorite penalty taker in football history? and why?


I would have to say Zidane. However I will never forget the time Pirlo chipped a PK over Buffon during the italian supercup in NYC. To me, that was amazing especially since trilli is so young and I have such respect for GIGI. What balls he has!

I never got the chance to reply to your other post on Sinisa Mihajlovic, Dan, but I heartily agree: great free kicker, but deserves to have his ass kicked.

Ibrahimovic was a fool for getting a three-game bad over head-butting him last season, but Sinisa deserved every bit of that. :fero:

Del Piero is pretty cool from the spot, hell he'll be useless if he wasnt so good from the spot

Sinsa Mihaljovic is the best.


ROBERTO BAGGIO IS ALSO ONE OF THE BEST. He just f-ed up once.

Yeah in the serie A it would have to be Baggio. He scored something like 16 consecutive penos if I remember correctly, missing the 17th, which as you may know is an unlucky number in Italy. But then of course he also missed the one he never should have missed..

Van Basten was a great penalty taker as well, but just like Baggio he screwed up at the most crucial moment (Euro 92 semi).

Koeman : usually a bombshell that would leave a hole into the keeper's stomach.

Other candidates : Breitner, Michel, Maradona, Prosinecki...

platini?

 

[Kaiser Franco]

No, the Spanish guy from Real Madrid in the late 80's early 90's. But Platini could be mentioned too.

Del Piero the best penalty taker in the world ever since he started to play for Juventus. One of the best ever

I think he got way more flak than he actually deserved for that one too. Most people seem to be ignorant of the fact that even if he had scored, it would'nt have sealed the cup.


Anyway cant pick a favourite as far as penalty takers go. But the two best penalties I've seen would have to be Maradona, Italia 90 semis against Italy. And Totti against the Netherlands in Euro 2000.

good call. Yeah he's still in Boro, was injured for the majority of last season though. AFAIK he's back fully fit and should be in the side.

Totti :totti:
