deahler,
Are you really implying that soccer is the only sport in which one person steps up to the line and feels the pressure of the team on his or her shoulders? What about a freethrow at the buzzer?
There is definitely a rush when a goal is scored in pk's, but there's also a rush when a keeper makes an unbelievable save. I guess it just depends on which side you're on.
Hurst,
In normal run of play-harder to score, in pk's harder to deny-I guess the advantage is reversed to some degree-but that's the point of penalty kicks-right?
