Five teams made it to the conference semifinals on shootouts, and in the MLS playoffs, there’s always the possibility of more. So ahead of this weekend’s matches, Offside takes a deeper look at this game within the game, what some consider the most cerebral part of soccer: the penalty kick. Taylor speaks with two-time MLS Cup winner and goalkeeping legend Nick Rimando, who has the most PK saves in league history, to learn about his secret to stopping penalties. Dániel Gazdag of the Philadelphia Union, who holds the record for most PK goals in an MLS season, shares what makes him so successful from the spot. And sports psychologist Dr. Mariah Bullock, herself a former footballer, explains the mental battle of a penalty kick.
