Why is this an issue or question??? None of our girls got a goal in the penalty kicks which they will tell you is inexcusable.

Did someone say it was an issue? Just curious as to what the rule is and what the strategy would be. Do you want to kick first or second?

Well it’s presented in a thread into the team losing so it can certainly be interpreted that way. If you don’t score it really does not matter.

As the regular season begins to wind down, officials need to review Rule 7.1.1.1 in order to administer kicks from the penalty spot correctly.  Let’s start with the basics.  Any player listed on the game roster who has not been ejected is eligible to participate.  There is no requirement that the players on the field at the end of overtime be the ones to participate.  Each team must designate 10 kickers.  The goalkeeper may be one of the ten to take a kick, or a team may designate ten kickers and a goalkeeper who will not take a kick to defend against the kicks.  Please note that teams are not required to specify which orders the players will kick in; the officials should record each player’s number and the result of the kick as the tie-breaker proceeds.  If the tie-breaker goes beyond ten kicks, teams are free to change the order.

The visiting team calls the coin toss, and the winner of the toss has the option to kick first or second.  Rule 7.1.1.2 states that the referee shall determine which goal will be used.  There is no official guidance on what factors to use, but here are a few to consider.  First, what are the field conditions like?  If the area around one penalty spot or goal line is significantly better than the other, use that end.  Second, what about time of day?  Do not make the goalkeepers squint into the setting sun when facing a penalty kick.  Third, which end of the field is better from an administrative purpose?  Are there fans legally seated behind one goal but not the other?  If so, go to the end with no fans.  Try for as "equitable" a situation as possible.  Prior to beginning the kicks, make sure that the designated players from each team are in the center circle along with one of the Assistant Referees, who will record the kicking order and the results.  All coaches and bench personnel should be in the designated coaching and team areas.  The other Assistant Referee should serve as a goal judge, and the non-participating goal-keeper shall be at the intersection of the penalty area and goal lines behind the Assistant Referee.    

There's the liberal buzzword "equitable". Not surprising to see it in the rules based on the sport's progressive fan base. My take... if you have home field advantage - you should be able to take advantage of it as the home team. Add another reason on why I dislike soccer.

On a good note, our girl's are heading back to the NCAA tourney.

So you must just overlook it in the NFL and college football or do you dislike them, too?

I guess on this board I can't really blame you for thinking that ..... next time I'll start a new thread.
