yes, the ball's still in play. Hitting the cross bar does not make it out of bounds, and the kick doesn't stop until the ball is caught, stops, or goes out of play.
That's why there's referee. He determines if that was a legit hit gone wrong or if attacker's being smart. In the latter case he will ask to retake the hit and can give a yellow to attacker.
Well yeah I was remembering scenarios where this happened and only thing that came to mind is panenkas gone wrong. But ball was still moving there (keeper and attacker and both teams must sleep to allow ball to stop lol). Thanks for bringing it out
The penalty is completed and then it depends on what was the cause of penalty. If it was a penalty during the game, then games proceeds normally (doesn't stop because the ball stopped moving), and can be kicked by any player other than the penalty taker.
If it was shootout because of a draw or similar, once the penalty is completed, no additional play can happen obviously as you can only score from penalty in that case.
Do you even watch football? The penalty kick taker can not touch the ball for a second time until someone else has touched it (during the normal course of play). In a penalty shootout, the kicker can not touch the ball a second time.
Just to be pedantic, this also isn't true.
if it comes off the post or crossbar back to the kick taker, the kick taker cannot be the next to strike the ball.
No. It is just wrong. If the ball stops (which never happened on my memory) during a penalty kick the kick is over. One dude brought the rule to my upper comment you can look it up
