Learn Pirlo’s cheeky penalty in FIFA 12

Probably the most exciting thing about last Sunday’s Euro 2012 quarter final between Italy and England, was Andre Pirlo’s uber-audacious chip penalty which beat out England’s goalkeeper Joe Hart.

While everyone was slamming their shots into the corner of the net, Pirlo went for a sly little chip right down the centre of the goal mouth.

Now, you too can be as disrespectful and ballsy as Mr. Pirlo, thanks to a tutorial video showing you exactly how to execute the infamous move of the Italian midfielder.

The chip penalty is actually known as a Panenka penalty, and was thrust into mainstream football by Czechoslovakian footballer Antonin Panenka (hence the name).

Check out the little recreation and tutorial below in order to prepare to shame your friends:
