100% of all the shots taken, exist only within the bounds of the game. Without context, they are naught but anomalies of physics.

I'd assume this is why players overdramatize collisions.

Can I request you do the same thing but with regular shots in game? I'm just going to predict PKs are more effective

Edit, not saying this to be critical of the sport!

I'm sorry but I don't think this belongs in the sub. This is just a pie chart, and not a particularly well-executed one at that. Why are misses and saves distinguished in the pie chart but then lumped together into one percentage? Why not include the other percentages from your data source (shots that hit the frame and shots that missed entirely)?

Replying to maugust09 (#993,778)

Soccer has a running clock, so the only opportunity for players to take a few seconds to stop and breathe is when a player gets “injured.” That’s the main reason behind flops and overdramatized collisions. If you’re able to convince a ref to give another player a yellow or red card, or earn a PK, that’s a bonus.

At ~80% success penalty kicks are just about the dumbest thing in sports.

change "Missed" for "Harry Kane" and I won't say this shouldn't be posted in this sub

Iirc the success rate used to be below 70%, interesting.

The coolest thing about penalty kicks is that on average, the xG of the chances before a foul in the box normally averages out to be ~80%. Meaning that penalties come from fouls or infractions that would've resulted in a goal 80% of the time. The fact that they have an 80% success rate means they are the perfect penalty for a foul in those locations!

20.5 + 79.5 = 100

So…. This chart is wrong! And maybe the sources too.

43.2% & 6.83% After a minute I started to doubt if there was anything actually hidden. I tip my hat to the forensic prowess of GentlemenBehold.
