The fear of the goalie at the penalty kick must be one of the most terrifying in all of sports. It's essentially 50/50, if not worse.
The ball could go high even if you pick the right side. It's an "oh-shit" moment for sure. Then again, what kind of teammates put their goalie in the position to save a penalty kick. Leaving the guy in the lurch.
As far as I can tell, this is the most existential book I've ever read and I've read Camus and Kafka. This is fucked up, however.
The author, Peter Handke, was a bit of a nut. He somehow got in cahoots with Yugoslavian dickhead Slobodan Milosevic ... you know, the guy that tried to eradicate every Muslim (and many others) out of Bosnia, Serbia and Albania.
He was asked to testify on Milosevic's behalf. Handke didn't, but he did attend the trial and spoke eloquently at his funeral in a way that would make you think he somehow supported Milosevic's movement.
You know, killing Europe's Muslims. Even existentialists shouldn't kill people. Even if it doesn't matter.
