How can Reina expect to save 5 out of 5, or is he just planning on DN blasting each one wide.

I think it's a -ev bet for DN.

And LOL at DN being current world champ?

"After three late nights he finally crashed out, finishing 14th out of 608 competitors - meaning he is officially the 14th best poker player in Europe."

Reina will save them all very easily unless Daniel can get a shot near the posts (either by luck or skill). DN wont be able to kick a ball with anything like the power of a professional or be able to mask the direction.

Pretty sure you would get owned without special practice.

The goalie doesnt even have to decide which corner he takes, you shoot, he jumps after your ball and has it unless you get it in the triangle, which happens one in 20 times.

lol wtf?! you dont need to be a professional to be able to kick a ball, I'd bet ANYONE on this forum could beat Reina at least once out of five, as long as they aren't disabled from the waist down or something.

With decent technique everyone has shot at 5 attempts. However, if you've hardly kicked a ball in your life I have to say that this bet is going to be won (and pretty easily if you ask me) by Reina.

(for reference look how Dennis Phillips pitched the ball in that baseball game.... my guess is that Daniels shots are going to be in the same league of epic fail).

Re: Daniel Negreanu challenging Liverpool keeper Jose Reina to a penalty shootout?!?!?

Someone who has played a lot of soccer (especially as a striker) would have a chance at getting one or two.

Anyone who hasn't, no chance whatsoever.

Edit : I didn't think there'd be that much LOL in the article but surely this HAS to be a level :

No wait, it's the Sun - it's not a level.

I'm not sure how you can disagree with both of them :-).

But I'm not sure you realise how hard professionals hit the ball. A top keeper like Reina will be damn hard to beat. If this happens and you want to bet DN, let me know.
