Missed shot

(moved from my Talk page)--Bbb23 (talk) 01:31, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why must her miss of a penalty kick be included? Why is this necessary information? If you believe it to be so necessary, why have you not added the pK misses to both Shannon Boxx and Tobin Heath's pages? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anc07 (talkcontribs) 02:39, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was a crucial moment in the World cup and you are 100% free to add it (and source it) to the other players pages. It does NOT change the fact that she DID MISS the PK, and the game was won by Japan. It is a 100% true, factual statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.169.87.36 (talk) 17:28, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I still do not think it is crucial player info. Everyone misses pK's and by adding this to her bio, you are partially defining her career by it, which I think is unnecessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anc07 (talkcontribs) 19:38, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I also think it's not necessary for her player bio. The pK miss is not what lost the game for the US, but placing this information in her bio makes it seem to the uninformed football population that the loss of the game was her fault. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.213.116.100 (talk) 19:41, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to leave the sentence about her missing the shot out until a consensus has been reached.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:32, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting points raised, but in my opinion i don't believe anyone is placing blame on her for losing the game, rather, it's tied in (with sourcing it appears) to the outcome. Perhaps re-wording the information. I think it's an important part of the world cup story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CESQ7 (talkcontribs) 02:18, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I simply believe it should be left out. Should anyone care to know detailed specifics, they can go to the USWNT page and/or read the sourced material. I reiterate, that saying she missed the pK in the manner that has been done so implies it was her fault
