About Grimace Penalty
Penalty after penalty against a keeper who moves well, with placement doing far more for you than power does. Three misses and it is over, so any run you build is only as long as your worst guess was.
The pressure sits in the counting. Miss once early and every kick after it is taken differently, which is the honest appeal of a shootout in the first place. Portrait at 600 by 800 and fine on a phone.
How to play
- Line up your shot at the goal.
- Pick a corner the keeper is not covering.
- Take the kick and watch for the save.
- Keep scoring. Three misses end the game.

Tips
- Change corners. A keeper who read your last shot will read the same one again.
- Placement beats power. A shot inside the post scores more often than one hit hard down the middle.
