Penalty shoot outs are not a coin toss in any way. The best penalty takers score more frequently than poor ones, and the goalkeepers with the best methods save more than their fair share. You then have the realms of sports psychology to help players keep their composure and in the last ten years you have had statisticians keep indexes of where every penalty kick ever taken by every current player has been placed. It's not a co-incidence that England lose at penalties more often than Germany.
