They do it all the time down here. We got one who does the tango or the cha - cha -cha depending on what way he thinks the kicker is going.  |  |

To my mind, more research should be done into penalties. They can be so vital. The amount of penalties nowadays and the amount of money at stake, i'm amazed they let some thickie just take a wild guess or fight over who is taking it. To thick to realise they're all missing a trick. One day, some new coach will do it and they'll call him a genius.
I read once about a business takeover of a company or something like that between a Japanese company and an American company. I forget exact details, but they needed a way to resolve the deadlock and a game of stone, paper, scissors was mooted as a cheap, fair and simple way to deal with the impasse. The Yanks thought it'd be random whereas the cunning Japanese, being much cleverer of course, realised there were complex factors at play in such a mental game.
I forget the details, but something like a very high percentile of males initially go with a rock, which is of course a manly fist. Their research showed if they lose with the rock, they'd typically change to either paper or scissors, people rarely stay the same, so by picking the scissors second, they'd most likely win again. The Americans went rock, then paper and lost as the Japanese predicted.
So you can be damned sure that more could be done to save penalties. They could be looking for tells in the run up and all sorts. Same goes for taking them. Didn't le Tissier score something like 48 penalties out of 49? Yet very surprising how poor most penalty takers often are.

Didn't Derran Brown win something like 100 rock paper scissors games on the spin proving it's not just a game of chance? |  | | |
