The moment you're of 'two-minds' is when you make mistakes.

The conversion rate for penalties in Soccer is high, like what? 80%? Minimum? Pick a spot and put your boot through it.

Even if the goalie guesses right, odds are they're still out of luck if you hit it hard enough.
Penalties were converted at an 89% success rate in the English Premier league last season, the highest ever. However, according to this great article on Wikipedia, it was only 65% in the last Women's World Cup.
