On penalty kicks.

Like a vestige of the trial by combat or the wager by battle, the penalty kick is some last resort when a dispute seems to have no earthly means of resolution. When all you can do is protest to heaven for some form of arbitration. Where chance and shear caprice hold more sway at court than skill or justice.

Could there be anything more European?
