I have no problem with PKs

I agree with Casper, PK are a skill (both for the goalkeeper and the shooter).

I also relies on nerves and freshness after 120 min of play (that's why substitutes are often designated kickers).

And it is very high in drama but can be very cruel: I will always remember the PK during the 1982 WC semi-final in Spain between France and Germany. Even though I was 14 at the time i can remember very well how the action unfolded, in particular the penalties missed by Didier Six and Maxime Bossis. The fact that i cried about an hour after that may have something to do with it :-) .

For the record, at age 38, I handled much better the 2006 WC final lost against Italy (and i was in a bar full of Italian fans and the only Frenchman there).
