Penalty kicks become key in World Cup
The 2026 World Cup saw an early start to penalty shootouts in the knockout rounds, with two of the first six matches in the Round of 32 decided this way. This reflects the increasing psychological pressure on players and goalkeepers. Experts have pointed out that tension tends to grow as the tournament progresses, and performance may be affected as a result, with greater emphasis on executing penalties accurately and carefully. This phenomenon brings to mind some of the most memorable moments in World Cup history, such as the 1994 final, as the skill of taking penalty kicks continues to evolve amid intensifying competition.
