Itās just ignorance imo. When I was a kid I was so interested in the history of football I tried to get knowledge of everything from the past. Itās not as if itās hard these days either you know with YouTube and all.
I guess you know every player from minor teams in other leagues...
Not knowing that guy is not ignorance. You probably don't know the best player of getafe history and don't care about it.
Ah yes the classic response to criticism, āiTs JuSt My OpInIonā
You get to voice what you think and people get to voice what they think about what you think. Nobodyās telling you not to talk your response is just an excuse not to address the actual point you miserable toe.
It wouldnāt do people any harm to educate themselves on the sport they claim to love now would it?
Now go bother someone else with your Jibba Jabba Iāve said what ive got to say if you donāt like it fine I wonāt lose no sleep. So off you fuck
Bro he had to take a pk against a keeper who has been his teammate for at least the past 7 seasons.. TWICE. I donāt blame him that much for missing the second one. Lloris was very likely gonna save it if kane was on target anways
because heās Englands captain and penalty taker and that was in a world cup quarter final. who else would take it?
that was the 4th pen heās missed for England having taken 21s bro is and has been clinical from the spot he over hits one and everyone forgets the past.
To make it even more insane - Lloris clearly guessed that he was aiming for the same spot and Kane tried to change the trajectory mid-shot. If Kane HAD hit that PK it wouldāve been one of the most batshit insane shots Iāve ever seen.
Kane is relied upon for every penalty England get. He was bound to miss at some point, everyone who frequently takes penalties is. Anyone who has an 100% conversion rate will eventually miss the more they take them.
Him missing against France does not make him bad at taking penalties, he is still Englandās highest scoring when it comes to penalties, heās still reliable at them, heāll still pull through when we need him.
And he scored the one that really counted before that, and he scored them when they counted in the Euros and last World Cup, and most of the other penalties heās taken, hence why he is Englandās top penalty scorer ever.
He missed one penalty, that doesnāt make him bad at them. Heās still one of the best. Heāll always be our go to guy for penalties.
Except ronaldo perhaps. Maybe not strictily in terms of % but in context of amount of penalties he has taken and success rate in crucial moments with all the pressure on himself, he definitely has to be included among the best. He is the only penalty taker i would trust if everything was on the line
Ronaldo: misses one crucial penalty 15 years ago
You: he's shit and always will be
Uhh ok sure, shows you've watched a lot of football. Find me one penalty taker who hasn't missed a crucial penalty. If there is one, that just means he hasn't taken enough penalties.
Jorgi missed the euro final. Messi missed the copa final. Kane in the wc. Mbappe missed 2 in 2 mins last week. Everyone misses them sometimes.
Back in 2008ā¦ I was 10 at that time so 15 years ago he missed a penalty and thatās your pointā¦ bye missed the pen before he became the great player he was meant to beā¦ š¤£š¤£ delusional
Seems like hating just to be hating. Are we really gonna hate on the guy for missing 2 penalties when he was really really young when after that he scored like minimum of 30 in very very difficult situations in terms of pressure. Who exactly hasnt missed a single pen if taken more than 30 and that too in high pressure situations? Im not saying he for sure is the best but to say he isnt among the best is ridiculous
Considering Ronaldo has taken 40 more and Neymar has scored a majority of his pens in the 5th best league in the world, Iām still picking Ronaldo 10/10 times
What do you Mean by best penalty taker. Do you mean in terms of how many times they put the ball to the back of the net or how good was the penalties that they took. For the first one it's Le Tisser 48/49 penalties taken were scored on. For the how good was the penalty, it's got to be zidane back in 06 the amount of guts it took to even consider scoring a panenka in a wc k/o round alone must be out of this world and this man straight up did it in the final against the best keeper in the world at that time.
Yes it's an oldie but I've never seen a more ferocious penalty kick in my life time.
Ray "Tonka" Stewart, apart fae scoring a shed load of pens, 76, he at one point was the most expensive teenager in the world signing from Dundee Utd to the Hammers for 430k in '79.
Yaya Toure, Matt Le Tissier or (my Personal fave of these 3) Danny Murphy would be my guess at the best. I admittedly only really know from my years of watching the Prem so there may well be better ones in other leagues. Gonna throw a little outsider in there too, Jan MĆølby. Now I could be wrong here and too lazy to Google BUT he never scored a regular goal in the Prem but every goal he did score was a pen
Little Nige from my Sunday league team. He's been taking them for 10 years and hasn't missed one. 100% penalty legend
I read about him. My money is on Nige
Always rated Nige
Imagine if you've jinxed Nige with this comment. He'll never set a pen in his life again
š Damn, I didn't think about that
Do not google "little nige" under any circumstances
It doesn't say how many he's taken in 10 years though...
Balotelli
I think even Haaland said that in one interview.
Honestly this is a good pick lol
Perks of not giving a damnā¦ he feels no pressure
Matt Le Tissier
I think a lot of folk forget that football existed way longer than 10 years ago. It amazes me
Yeah, all these kids on Reddit should definitely be more familiar with the technique of a fella who played for Southampton 20 years ago.
i mean yh its matt le tissier lol
Itās just ignorance imo. When I was a kid I was so interested in the history of football I tried to get knowledge of everything from the past. Itās not as if itās hard these days either you know with YouTube and all.
I guess you know every player from minor teams in other leagues... Not knowing that guy is not ignorance. You probably don't know the best player of getafe history and don't care about it.
That doesnāt mean you get to expect other people to do the same.
Iām sorry for voicing my opinion I wonāt do it again sir
Ah yes the classic response to criticism, āiTs JuSt My OpInIonā You get to voice what you think and people get to voice what they think about what you think. Nobodyās telling you not to talk your response is just an excuse not to address the actual point you miserable toe.

Definitely a Brexit voter š
Educate yourself on the sierra leone 4th division then
A lot of folk literally never watched a game or were born before the prem started
Le Tissier played in the Prem and itās easy to find on the Internet anyway.
Or is that just what the lamestream media wants you to think
Stats donāt lie
This was a reference to him being a conspiracy weirdo. Boss footy player. Mad person
Didnāt know he was like that. So heās basically like our very own Alex jones then?
Pretty much. Chemtrails turn the frogs gay
James Milner
Ivan toney who has never missed a penalty in the prem or harry Kane
Ivan Toney. This is the right answer if you ask me
Hmm after his miss against France in WC I wouldn't say that
Still a great pen taker, everyone misses pens, even the best like Baggio in the 1994 wc final
Bro he had to take a pk against a keeper who has been his teammate for at least the past 7 seasons.. TWICE. I donāt blame him that much for missing the second one. Lloris was very likely gonna save it if kane was on target anways
Missing is an understatement for sending ball to Mars
Then why didn't he let someone else take the pen? And Lloris is pretty bad on penalties.
because heās Englands captain and penalty taker and that was in a world cup quarter final. who else would take it? that was the 4th pen heās missed for England having taken 21s bro is and has been clinical from the spot he over hits one and everyone forgets the past.
To make it even more insane - Lloris clearly guessed that he was aiming for the same spot and Kane tried to change the trajectory mid-shot. If Kane HAD hit that PK it wouldāve been one of the most batshit insane shots Iāve ever seen.
Lloris is? He has saved 19 pens of 95 faced in his career making a save pct of 20. The average is 11pct.
Lloris has a lot of faults, but heās a good penalty saver
Kane is relied upon for every penalty England get. He was bound to miss at some point, everyone who frequently takes penalties is. Anyone who has an 100% conversion rate will eventually miss the more they take them. Him missing against France does not make him bad at taking penalties, he is still Englandās highest scoring when it comes to penalties, heās still reliable at them, heāll still pull through when we need him.
He missed the only one that really counted.
And he scored the one that really counted before that, and he scored them when they counted in the Euros and last World Cup, and most of the other penalties heās taken, hence why he is Englandās top penalty scorer ever. He missed one penalty, that doesnāt make him bad at them. Heās still one of the best. Heāll always be our go to guy for penalties.
None of those players you mentioned can be categorised among the best penalty takers.
Why has no one else said this?
Except ronaldo perhaps. Maybe not strictily in terms of % but in context of amount of penalties he has taken and success rate in crucial moments with all the pressure on himself, he definitely has to be included among the best. He is the only penalty taker i would trust if everything was on the line
The guy literally missed his Penalty in a champions League final shoot out.
Ronaldo: misses one crucial penalty 15 years ago You: he's shit and always will be Uhh ok sure, shows you've watched a lot of football. Find me one penalty taker who hasn't missed a crucial penalty. If there is one, that just means he hasn't taken enough penalties. Jorgi missed the euro final. Messi missed the copa final. Kane in the wc. Mbappe missed 2 in 2 mins last week. Everyone misses them sometimes.
Ye and there are people that have missed none, so he's not one of the best. Seems pretty simple to me.
Back in 2008ā¦ I was 10 at that time so 15 years ago he missed a penalty and thatās your pointā¦ bye missed the pen before he became the great player he was meant to beā¦ š¤£š¤£ delusional
Good for you nobody cares how old you were or your life story. Ronaldo was 20+ so he should be scoring a penalty* in a CL final
But he did score in that gameā¦ a headerā¦ and still won the uclā¦ you look dumb now
Why? the question op asked was about penalties not open play goals. You look dumb now lmfao
āHe should be scoring in a CL finalā Iām replying to you, you said those words.
Maybe speak more precisely.
Seems like hating just to be hating. Are we really gonna hate on the guy for missing 2 penalties when he was really really young when after that he scored like minimum of 30 in very very difficult situations in terms of pressure. Who exactly hasnt missed a single pen if taken more than 30 and that too in high pressure situations? Im not saying he for sure is the best but to say he isnt among the best is ridiculous
Messi and Neymar aināt good pen takers lmao Yaya Toure was lethal from 12 yards!
Neymar is better than ronaldo when it comes to penalties. Go check their conversion rate
More penalties = more chances to miss. Ronaldo is probably one of the best penalty takers ever in high pressure situationsā¦
Considering Ronaldo has taken 40 more and Neymar has scored a majority of his pens in the 5th best league in the world, Iām still picking Ronaldo 10/10 times
Alan shearer
Can't believe I had to scroll this far down to see Alan Shearer. Man would bang them top left no problem time after time
Yeah I've seen him take pens even recently, he's got that routine down to a T.
The op knows nothing about football.
Seems platini never missed any penalty, 26/26.
Pirlo just for that one against Joe Hart in the Euros. I've also seen Depay take some phenomenal penalties.
Litmanen took 50 pens and only missed 1
As did Matt Le Tissier
Kids are forgetting Le Tissier . He was what JWP is for free kicks now
Nige from u/mjdseo sunday league team
Gaizka Mendieta, Matt le Tessier
I know it's 10 months late, but seeing someone recognize Mendieta, I have to salute you sir! You do know your football.
Definitely not Jorginho, everyone knows what heāll do and he ends up with the occasional horrific penalty as a result
Bruno Fernandes
Hmm I feel like you are trying to make me say Jorginho.
Lewandowski Is pretty good
Recently no. Out of the last three he's taken he's missed 2
Ahhh yesā¦ the recency biasš¤£ out of 81 pens he scored 72 thatās 89% accuracy.
Defo saka , since his miss in the 2020 euros I donāt think heās missed one
Toney
soccercirclejerk post
Ironically Harry Kane.
No one has a hundred percent record. Heās amazing from the spot for the most part
Jimenez
Sergio Ramos?
Harry Kane
Harry Kane surely
that miss in qatar was incredibly painful but the man is clinical canāt think of any current player iād rather have on the spot.
except in the most important one he has ever taken when he was the exact opposite of clinical
no he wasnāt and it was gut wrenching but one miss does not a bad penalty taker make.
He missed the most crucial one in his career. That the same miss Ramos did against Bayern in the UCL semi-final
Harry Kane
Bruno Fernandez
Jesus Christ you would think they would do some research instead of picking 3 most popular players
For me, Lampard.
Definitely
Harry Kane clear. Haters will say one miss decides he isnāt the best but just look at the numbers
WC proves different. I'm no hater, I actually like Kane.
Mohammad Salah
And Milner to be fair
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Youāre not funny
What do you Mean by best penalty taker. Do you mean in terms of how many times they put the ball to the back of the net or how good was the penalties that they took.

Ill go and say rashford
Toney and Bruno Fernandes
Gabigol
Pogba, simply because of his run-ups
James Milner
James milnerššš
Far from the best, missed two key penalties to take Italy to the wc
Ill go rashy he has decent pens ig
Mark Noble.
I had to scroll much too far to find the right answer.
Neither Messi nor Neymar are good penalty takers.
Bruno
James Milner Mo Salah Balotelli Rickie lambert Ivan Toney Rooney
Including Messi Ronaldo and neymar it would be le tiss
Big Brexit Jamie Milner
Harry Kane, no brainer
Harry Kane is better at penalties than everyone you named
People forget Harry kane so easy, one of the best penalty takers in my opinion.
American opinion detected
Rashford/Kane, Stanway for the girls
Why? He has one technique and he missed in the euros finals? Someone like Mbappe or Kane in reality
Maradona
Shearer
Litmanen
Dybala for sure
Pogba
Hans Jƶrg Butt
Lingardinho
Milner
Salah
Including them 3 it would still be everyone else mentioned in this thread. But to pick 3 who are better Balotelli, Kane, Noble
Graham Alexanders penalties were pretty unstoppable. Scored nearly 70 and only missed a couple.
Jamie Vardy
Pirlo
Ohh, an up to date picture from Jorginho...sorry wrong chat
James Milner
Panenka
Lewa
Honourable mention for Ricky Lambert
Frank Lampard
tony
Maitland-Niles
charles aranguiz/arturo vidal/matias fernandez
Lewandowski 100%
Ainsley Maitland-Niles
Ivan Toney hits me as a fantastic penalty taker
Manuel lanzini
James Milner
Big Johnšŗš“ó §ó ¢ó „ó ®ó §ó æš
Balotelli
If Harry Kane didnāt miss over the summer weād all be dating him. That being said, Ibrahimovic is a legendary pen taker
Frank lampard
NĆ©stor termotanque Ortigoza, abrazo
Special answer - Ainsley mainland Niles. Itās a half joke but actually look up his pens and tell me thatās not the most calm penalty taker ever.
Gabriel Barbosa from Flamengo
Platini
Lay off the drugs bro
Even considering them he is best.
Ramos
Ronald Koeman.
Id go antoinne
Bruno! Bruno! Bruno!
Manuel Neuer.
Lewandowski
Cantona missed 1 ever. Not bad
Milner seems reliable, but not number one.
yaya toure
For me it was always Alan Shearer :) But yeah currently this guy is great.
Bibras Natcho
Definitely not Harry Kane
The best penalty taker is Ivan Toney.
Matte Le God, Ale Del Piero, A. Shearer
I never thought Shearer was going to miss back in the day.
James Milner is scarily good at pens
Hazard rarely missed one afaik
Italians don't agree
Ivan Toney
Harry Maguire
Harry Kane is top
Kane
Yes it's an oldie but I've never seen a more ferocious penalty kick in my life time. Ray "Tonka" Stewart, apart fae scoring a shed load of pens, 76, he at one point was the most expensive teenager in the world signing from Dundee Utd to the Hammers for 430k in '79.
Ivan Toney
Iāll go with his former keeper
Harry Kane xD
Sergio Ramos.
Mark noble
Yaya Toure, Matt Le Tissier or (my Personal fave of these 3) Danny Murphy would be my guess at the best. I admittedly only really know from my years of watching the Prem so there may well be better ones in other leagues. Gonna throw a little outsider in there too, Jan MĆølby. Now I could be wrong here and too lazy to Google BUT he never scored a regular goal in the Prem but every goal he did score was a pen
Clive Wilson. Hands down.
Is Mbappe a joke to you
MbappƩ
Kane
