11 of 26 stutter penalties missed at the World Cup, as Barco's Anfield miss renews debate

Valentin Barco's stuttered run-up, which ended with the ball hitting the post, is part of a wider pattern. BBC Sport reports 26 stutter penalties were taken at this summer's World Cup, and 11 were missed. FIFA rules allow stops or feints, fake movements to fool the keeper, in the run-up, but not directly before the strike.
