Why Penalties Should Be Harder

Спорт

Creating a chance as good as a penalty is almost impossible in football. With an average xG of 0.79, penalties often tip the scales unfairly in football matches. This video dives into why a 79% chance of scoring might be too high and suggests ways to make penalties more balanced.

    I like the idea of forcing the player who was fouled to shoot the penalty except if they’re injured like with free throws in basketball. I would add that if there’s a non-contact foul like a handball then the last opposing player to touch the ball takes the penalty and if for some reason no opposing player touched the ball (like the team that kicks off kicks off the ball toward their own goal and there’s a handball) then anyone can take the penalty.

    If you make it more difficult to score penalties you could run into problems too. Imagine a defender fouling a player who was about to score a sure goal or stopping a sure goal with his hand, and just being punished with an old MLS style penalty. The chances of scoring went from almost certain to just 45%, so you would be giving a huge incentive to fouls when the goals are sure

If they are awarded correctly then the 80% chance is good since it's supposed to be penalizing the other team. Why would we make it more fair?

    ​@@tonypatino1765it was mentioned the average chance of scoring at the point a penalty is given is roughly 10%. The chance of scoring a penalty at 80% is then arguably disproportionate. One of the many arguments was that penalties are often too soft and VAR could help ensure only genuine fouls, and not dives, are given. That should be something everyone wants, regardless. It doesn't relate to the crime punishment disproportionality. To answer your question, the game should be as fair as possible so that the team which performs better on the day wins, and not the team that got a disproportionately advantageous penalty, that's obvious. Hope I cleared a few things up for you, almost got the impression you watched it on mute.

    But from the first position shown, a player could cross it in for a goal the second your inside the box it becomes much easier to score. the aspect of the penalty is that due to it being 0.79 xg it makes the defenders think before going in for rash tackles therefore the game flows for longer and the tempo stays high

  • @crimson6172

    This is the only flaw in an otherwise perfect sport IMO. One solution I was thinking is that perhaps make the zone for the penalty foul to be a lot smaller than the 18 yards goalkeeper box. Like for example, make the zone to be only inside that 6 yards small box or anything else but the size of the zone definitely needs a massive reduction. And if a foul happens on the outside of the 6 yards but is still within the 18 yards then it will just be a free kick. I think it will still be much more difficult to score a free kick than a penalty even at that close range because there would still be a wall.

    The idea of letting players run to the ball as soon as the referee blows the whistle is actually very interesting, the thing is, some defenders could tackle the penalty instead, if you put a very fast winger or something along those lines, and the taker is not as fast to do the run up, then the winger could go up to a post and make it even harder. And as you said in the video, penaltys give small clubs more chances to make an upset, however, I do agree that diving should be punished in a harsher way, as (at least in the portuguese league) I've seen several players in the box just with the ball standing, waiting to try to make a penalty happen. This makes penalties a strategy other then a punishment in my opinion. Overall, great video, loved the concept and I think your Lil bro is up to something with that idea.

    You mention giving yellow cards for diving as being something they should work hard on enforcing but I think they have to go a step further. For me the big problem with diving for penalties is that no one sends a player off for diving even for second yellow. The players diving in the opponent's box are usually attackers that aren't doing many fouls. So if you have a yellow card already you can dive to your heart's content.

    The penalty should be taken from the spot of the foul. Or when closer than the penalty spot than the closest point on the "penalty line" eg) a line running even with the penalty spot right to left then curving when past the posts to maintain equal distance from the goal. If someone commits a penalty foul on a break when the striker is past them or a blatant handball then a normal penalty from the traditional penalty spot is awarded to disincentivise cheating. Also, shootouts are from the traditional spot, so it'd still be a big part of the game. At the same time, standard penalties would often be more like free kicks or set pieces, with more tactics, second-chance goals, etc. If you get fouled barely within the corner of the penalty area it should be a high xG freekick vs only the GK, not a gimme goal.

    I think changing how the penalty has to be taken to make it harder has more chance to do something than giving less penalties, as it ensures defenders don't abuse the "less enforced" fouls or handballs because "he won't give it anyway stopping a goal scoring opportunity has a higher chance of not getting scored at than trying to not do a penalty" and it's the only way that getting a penalty against your team doesn't feel like you are instantly at a disadvantage before it's even taken.

    I don't think they should make it more far from the goal and etc. A foul inside the small area is really unfair, sometimes the person is about to make a goal, but the idea of making the fouled player take the penalty (unless injury) is actually really good

    It's a penalty, one team made something against the rules, so instead of been giving a goal to the other team, you still got a (slighty) chance to stop it. Making it harder to score is misleading the entire reason of its existence.

    The point of a penalty is to give a VERY STRONG incentive to the defending team not to foul. If you make a penalty harder. Then it will just be a lot better to foul. In fact, I think the fact that an open net and a penalty is the same xG perfect. That means if you get fouled when you had an open net. You are being given the same opportunity again. I agree that handballs should be indirect free kicks. If the handball is in the small box, then it's a penatly.

    I agree the laws encourage cheating. I have thought for a while fouls inside the penalty area and handballs should be direct free kicks outside the area unless it is an obvious goalscoring chance. For instance a player fouled on the edge of the penalty area whilst moving away from goal, or at a very acute angle from the goal, should not result in a penalty. The "effective penalty area" should reflect were most goals are scored from and the fouled attacker should have gained meaningful control of the ball before being fouled. I have also think there should a timing system like F1 starting lights, which forces the penalty to be struck within a 1 second window to be valid. This could be reviewed by VAR to check the light was green when the ball was struck if a goal is scored. And yes 15 yards. If pens were 0.5 xG, it would make them more exciting.

    Stuttering on the run up has annoyed me since forever. I hard agree and don't think making new lines on every pitch is troublesome, white paint is easy to get, you jest kill some skeletons and craft bones into bonemeal and then into… wait it's not minecraft. A change in PK I thought about before is just shooting from the 16 meter / 18 yard line. This may combine well with the idea of kicking from the nearest point from the offense (which I loved tbh). And if you handball in the penalty area, how about you prove your hands worth as the keeper during that penalty lol

    Penalties are perfect the way they are. XG and other statistics are hard to apply to such a dynamic sport as football. The penalty is SUPPOSED to be this easy, because if not it would be impossible for anyone under prime Messi levels of dribbling to enter the area with the ball. Plain and simple. I do agree some adjustments are to be made regarding handballs and diving, but otherwise don't touch what is already perfect. Thanks.

Fouls made inside the small area should be taken where they already are taken, fouls made in the middle area should be taken a bit further and fouls made in the big area should be taken on the edge of the box. There's no reason for the penalty to be taken where it's taken today when a player handball at the edge of the area while trying to intercept a cross for example
