I’ve always thought this would work a large amount of the time- we just saw Croatia do it twice. Ive always been curious about the science/ psychology of the penalty kick and for me the urge for the goalie to dive one side or the other would be too great.

Short version is if you can hit the top corners of the net, even if the goalie guesses right, they’re not getting a hand on the ball.
The psychological reasoning is that yes, most goalies dive to the side, so the middle should be open; but if he doesn’t, you’ll look like an absolute moron
