Kylian Mbappe missed a penalty during France’s World Cup quarter-final match against Morocco but later scored a goal to help his team win 2-0. The article discusses whether the “stutter” technique used by penalty takers, where the player hesitates or feints during their run-up, is less effective now because goalkeepers have adapted to it.
Key Facts
Mbappe missed a penalty after using a “stuttering” run-up but later scored a goal in the same match.
FIFA rules allow players to pause or fake during a penalty run-up, as long as it’s not right before kicking the ball.
The “stutter” has been used by famous players like Pele and Lionel Messi but can fail if the goalkeeper waits to dive.
In this World Cup, 11 out of 26 penalties taken with a stutter were missed, a 57% success rate.
Penalties taken without stuttering had a higher success rate of 68% in this tournament.
Overall, about 30% of regular penalties and 35% including shootouts have been missed this World Cup, the highest miss rate since 1966.
Goalkeepers today are bigger and more athletic, making it harder to score penalties.
Players and goalkeepers use data and study each other to gain advantages during penalties.
