I used to be a goalie way back in the day.   Jesus it’s been like 20 years.  Pretty crazy how time flies.  In any event, one of the best feelings as a goalie is making a kick ass save.   An even better feeling is making a save on a penalty shot.   The odds are so low that it’s an incredible feeling if you can pull it off.

In all honesty it’s really luck.  You have to either guess right or simply hope the ball is completely missed.   But that’s not what this article is about.  This article focuses on completely wacky penalty shots from the world of soccer.

Enjoy the clips after the jump…..

Thanks to Oddee for these.

Fan Takes the Shot and Scores!

In this particular video the funny thing is that after this happened the real penalty shot was taken and the ball was placed exactly where the fan put it.   Sometimes it helps for a loon to run onto the field.

Goalie thinks he’s the man….nope

Mr. Badass gets the save and doesn’t keep his eye on the ball.

Over and Over and Over and Over

Apparently this kick is still taking place as we speak.

Is this Even Legal?

To be perfectly honest I had absolutely no idea this was a legal move.   If it is then clearly it’s a horrible awareness on the defense’s part.

Possibly the Worst Penalty Kick Ever

This is just brutal.  Absolutely brutal.
