Left footed players taking penalties


You just know that someone on here will dig around and have the answer :lol:
(Edit: Hang on a minute, have I just accidentally engaged with a mag?)

I’m right footed but took penna’s left footed. Top left corner 9/10.
Sadly shit at other critical football related skills.
 
It seems left footers ARE worse, according to this article

2. Don’t trust left footers

At first glance, the stats seem to suggest that there is not much difference in how successful left-footed players are at taking penalties (73% success rate) compared to right-footed players (76%). However, researchers have noted that if you just look at penalty shoot-outs from the last twenty years, the success rate for left-footers drops to 58% (success rate for right-footed players has remained over 70%).

It is hard to say exactly why this may be the case (it could be down to better scouting or because goalkeepers are getting better at reading left footed players). Either way, the message is clear; don’t trust left-footers to take your penalties.

Verdict: Was a myth, is now a fact
 
Anyone left handed or left footed . That's basically the sign of the Devil isn't it? They used to get thrown in the river years ago for stuff like that . I only say this as I can't kick with my left foot and my mate asked me to throw something left handed and I looked like .... well it wasn't a good look or throw is the point
