Who decides the regulation time PK taker?

Post by theDunamis »

Just wondering how Huntelaar who came in as a sub became the chosen PK taker for such a critical PK in the MEX-NED game.

1) Is this something a coach would have predetermined before the game and have a pecking order depending on which players are on the field at the time?

2) Something the coach decides and quickly communicates at the instant a PK call is made?

3) A decision left to the players on the field to figure out and the most confident player at the time steps up to the plate?

I am sure all 3 have happened at one time or the other depending on the team but I am wondering what the typical case is - if there is one. Someone like Oloye can probably speak from experience here.

Interesting!!! I am very surprised that this is a real-time decision left to the players on the field.

For real?? That makes it even more laughable that he was the one charged with taking such a critical PK. I am quite surprised this is a decision a coach like Van Gaal left to the players.

I guess this is a prime example of "the end justifies the means"

Huntelaar looked confident
For my sceptical Nigerian Friends : Pessimism is great because you are either always right or pleasantly surprised.

A lot happens on the issue of taking penalties

1. There are always designated penalty takers

2. There's always a pecking order too

3. Player have been known to decline taking pens cos of the tension

4. Coaches can appoint penalty takers

5. Players are also known to decide within themselves on the spur of the moment

6. Players chasing hat tricks and/or golden boot are also given priority but not like in the case of Holland/Mexico.
TOUCH NOT MY ANOINTED...
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding...hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe
