And he is easily my favorite player on Real.
Never understood the guys that took 6 stutter steps.

Anyone else have terrible, terrible flashbacks when they watch PKs? Went out in penalties in state regionals senior year and they still haunt me.

Yes. Lost the 2008 NCAC championship to OWU in PKs after our goalie made the first save and will never get another chance to win a big time league again

Agreed. But the fact he just said, "Im gonna be called Hulk." Is funny as fuck.

Actually, no. I would, had we lost. But in 7 PK matches in 4 years in HS, we went 7-0. Our team was loaded with PK takers. I went #4, and was shooting with a lead all 6 times it got to me. We had 1 missed PK in 4 years, and we would switch takers between our 4 captains as to who took the "regular play" PKs.

Damn that sucks! Where did you go?

I wouldve been on that OWU team, but I turned them down for soccer and basketball to try and walk on and eventually make the soccer team at Indiana. SOOO fucking close. But didnt make it.

Wittenberg University. I did win an Ohio Championship in 2005 in a shootout, so I guess it was 50/50

Not really here. Had three PK shootouts during my entire lifetime and won all three of them.

I will say that being on the keeper end of a PK shootout is something I don't really want to do ever again, though.

'08. A lot of the guys I played against I played with or against in club (which made it that much worse)... and I almost decided to go to OWU only deciding last minute to choose Witt.

yes. Watching my Akron Zips lose the national championship to Virginia on Pks.

I also have a great memory, watching Akron defeat Cal at home during a snowstorm on penalty kicks in the quarterfinals. Akron went on to win the national championship over Louisville.

Akron still won the championship but it was cool watching my brother's team be the only team to beat Akron that year especially with how loaded with talent they were.
