What's going on with penalties - is it time to end the 'stutter'? -

Kylian Mbappe recently missed a penalty kick during France’s win against Morocco. He stopped and started during his run, which is called a stutter, before he kicked the ball. He is not the only player to do this. Many top football stars are now missing important goals because they try to trick the goalkeeper with this slow run. This latest mistake has started a big talk in the sports world. Many fans and writers are asking if it is time to ban this style of penalty. They think players should just run up and kick the ball normally. When players slow down, they often lose their focus and miss the goal. It may be time to stop the stutter run-up for good.
