If this was to right a perceived wrong, then why not

ABBAAB?

Instead of letting one team take 4 shots, as opposed to the team supposedly going first, taking 2?

Yeah. The penalties yesterday did me in. lol.

Totally forgot Morata existed. I stopped breathing at Courtois' PK skill.

ABBA makes no difference, the onus of scoring and winning a pk shootout is on the players and goalies saving them.

I have figured out technique of saving a penalty.
When a player leans back to strike the ball, that means ball is going his right if a right footed taker, likewise a left footer.
But when the player's head is down and forward the ball is going to his left (across the body) likewise a left footer.
All this is a split second decision for the goalie to figure out, and decide where to dive to.
Just my take. Unfortunately I don't play anymore, I for practice am myself

And when they discover that ABBA favors or is not a level playing ground what will they do again? Stupidity is on the rise in the world as idiots keep trying to ubravel nature and fate. There is a reason why they toss the coin and ask if the winner of the toss want to kick or defend first!

Its not stupidity, there's a reason why they changed it.

You know there is a reason behind everything including stupidity?

Shaking my head (smh)! Anyway, thx Oga Mcal, I will watch closely next time a penalty is played, perhaps you are correct
