In Response To: Penalty kicks (Henrik Bukkjaer)

I took a lot of penalty kicks when I played soccer because I was the first choice for PKs in the teams I played in, so let me say something from a little experience. Under the European/international approach to shootouts, I'd put the brute force kickers last, and those relying on finesse first. Not because one type of kicker is better than the other, but because finesse kickers are more likely to perform badly under pressure.
