	Penalty kick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A penalty kick is a type of free kick in association football (soccer), taken from twelve yards (eleven metres) out from goal and with only the goalkeeper of the defending team between the penalty taker and the goal.
		A penalty kick may be awarded when a defending player commits a foul punishable by a direct free kick (a so-called penal foul) against an opponent, within their own penalty area (commonly known as "the box", "18 yard box" or "16 metre box").
		For infractions by the kicking team, should a goal be scored the kick is retaken, otherwise an indirect free kick is awarded against his side.

	World Almanac for Kids
		FOOTBALL, AMERICAN, type of football that developed in the U.S. in the 19th century from association football, or soccer, and Rugby football (principally the latter).
		In preseason or regular-season pro football games, if both teams have scored the same number of points at the end of regulation time, the teams are allowed a 3-min rest and then engage in a “sudden-death” overtime period in which the first team to score is the winner.
		In college football, the team winning the toss may elect to be given first choice at the start of the second half, thereby allowing the other team first pick of the options at the beginning of the game.

		The birth date of football in the United States is generally regarded by football historians as November 6, 1869, when teams from Rutgers and Princeton Universities met for the first intercollegiate football game.

		In Association Football, a penalty kick is a free kick from twelve yards out with only the goalkeeper of the defending team between the penalty taker and the goal.
		Penalty shootouts (correctly called kicks from the penalty mark) are used to decide the result of games in elimination matches which are still tied after both ordinary time and extra time.
		Whilst they are not actual penalty kicks and goals scored do not count as part of the game score, they follow essentially the same procedure as penalty kicks.

	Re: Why is a longer field goal kick (football), kicked at a lower angle?
		An end-over-end football kick will generate even less lift because of its irregular shape and must therefore behave somewhat like a baseball because it is observed that a lower kicking angle will travel farther than the 45 degree angle predicted by basic (no drag/lift) ballistics.
		In general to pop the ball up for short kicks (25 yards or less), the ball is struck low with the trajectory of the foot being almost parallel to the ground.
		This part of why it is easier to kick a ball off a kickoff tee versus the ground.
