This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.
Why anyone gets involved with panenka style-penalties, despite the many high profile videos in recent years showing how risky they are, is beyond us. This week Venezuelan Brendix Parra was sacked by his club after this disastrous contribution to panenka lore – costing his side their place in the Copa Sudamericana.
The panenka style penalty is a risky business – get it right and you look suave leaving the keeper scrambling. Get it wrong and you look like, well, you look like Swansea City’s Bersant Celina at the Hawthorns this week. Truly terrible.
It’s claimed that QPR vs Manchester City in 1993 gave us some of the worst association football ever seen – but Utrecht and Feynoord laid a claim to that unwanted title on Wednesday with this truly atrocious passage of play…
The star of this week’s And finally… is Brazilian Bravo Dodo – seen here with a chance to level the game for Giresunspor against Turkish giants Fenerbahçe in the cup from the penalty spot. He doesn’t half make a right old mess of it.
To Greece this week, where AEK Aethens striker Sergio Araujo treats us to some truly atrocious finishing. The forward somehow prevented a mis-cleared cross, that was destined to go in, from finding the net. He’ll Be Disappointed With That.
