I completely disagree. America doesn't matter, because soccer doesn't get enough recognition anyways. But 90% of all players I have EVER talked to say that they would prefer to tie somebody than to beat them in pks, because Pks are too unpredictable, and you never know who will win. This is coming from a student at Ben Lippen whose keeper saved 10 pks (I think) out of 18. But you can't train a keeper to stop pks past a certain point, it has to be natural.
