	Penalty kick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A penalty kick is a type of free kick in association football (soccer), taken from twelve yards (approximately 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" or "18 yard box").
		The penalty kick is taken from the penalty mark, which is a midline spot 12 yards (10.8 metres) from the goal.

	Gelf Magazine: The Game Theory of Penalty Kicks
		A penalty kick is a situation in which the shot-taker either scores or doesn't score based on simultaneous actions taken by both the shot-taker and the keeper.

		The result is a penalty awarded to the attacker, because the ball was still in play, and the foul took place in the defender's penalty area.
		Infringements before the penalty kick take place may be committed by the kicker, the goalkeeper, or by the kicker's teammates, or the defending team.
		Once the Referee signals for the penalty kick to commence, the goalkeeper may move from side to side along his goal line between the goal posts, but he may not move off the goal line (into the field or backward into the goal net area) until the ball has been kicked.

	NHSA Referees: Articles - Feinting at Taking of PK
		The International Board has reasoned that, since a penalty kick is awarded for a violation which otherwise would cause play to be restarted with a direct free kick, the team taking the kick should have at least some of the same latitude which is given for a direct free kick restart.
		The kicker should also be considered guilty of misconduct if his behavior before actually kicking the ball results in unnecessary delay in restarting (for example, by excessively changing direction during the run to the ball).
		However, in situations where the manner of taking the kick is deemed unsporting but the referee is unable to stop play before the kick occurs, the referee must follow Law 14 by allowing the kick to proceed.

		As with the other tactics, the free kick and penalty need methodical and constant training, perhaps even more than the rest if we take into consideration the fact that a penalty kick is often the crucial shot which decides a game.
		A free kick, whether direct or indirect, is taken in front of the penalty area as often as it is taken from the left or right side, with or without the defensive wall.
		The goalkeeper is not allowed to move his feet until the ball has been kicked; there are only eleven meters between the penalty spot and the goal; the shot is a direct one and the opponents must be 9.15 meters away from the ball.
