Just on this point, for years, if someone gets a free kick and misses it, or misses two, someone else takes the next one. The stats for the best in the world are like 1 in 5 finding the net. So it's fucking stupid. Persevere with the best guy on the training ground, all match, every match.
I remember that Ing ur Lund game when Beckham scored against Greece. He'd had about 8 that all went in row Z before that. Still a massive whopper though.
