Are you making the point that most penalties awarded in soccer would have resulted in goals anyways? If so, I disagree.

I think the difficulty is about right for soccer.
This tournament has so far seen a very high success rate, but you don't change the rules just because of that.

About 80-84% from my previous post, admittedly based off a sample size of two PL seasons.
I'm not bothered to be honest, but I'm just saying that if the spot was moved back a couple of yards and made more difficult I would have no issues with it.
