It has become a theme of this year's World Cup that a stop-start run-up technique for a penalty is not always leading to a goal. France's Kylian Mbappe became the latest player to fail from the spot with this method as he had a tame first-half penalty saved by goalkeeper Yassine Bounou during their quarter-final victory over Morocco. The Real Madrid striker, 27, made amends on the hour mark when his sensational curling effort broke a stubborn Morocco defence, before Ousmane Dembele doubled France's lead six minutes later to secure a 2-0 win. But his earlier blunder, uncharacteristic for the joint-top scorer in this tournament, begs the question: is it time players stopped with the stuttering penalty? 🤔 #FifaWorldCup #penalties #messi #mbappe #kane
