Thanks.

My impression is that there's more pressure in soccer than in other sports for the players to keep the game interesting, though (again a matter of impression) I thought that was more about tactics involving more than one member of the team, and possibly grace of motion.

Goalies throwing themselves to one side are probably more interesting to watch than goalies standing in the middle.

I'm less clear about whether kickers aiming low (a duel between the kicker and goalie) are more interesting than a high pressure moment in which the kicker aims high and gets the ball in or not.

I wonder whether that article will affect how player handle penalty kicks.
