 * Delete - this is not a useful list because of the erratic nature of penalty shootouts; ie they only occur if the match is a draw, and they involve just two players at a time (the goalkeeper and an opposing player). Possibly a List of national football teams by goals scored might be more useful but not penalty shootouts. Green Giant (talk) 05:03, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: Just overdoing it on the stats. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a bloody stats book to solve bar/pub debates. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 14:36, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - this list passes the notability guideline for stand-alone lists, WP:LISTN, as the subject has been discussed as a group by several reliable sources like this, this and . This is exactly that kind of statistics that I want to find in an encyclopedia. Mentoz86 (talk) 16:56, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I have no problem with these statistics being available to people who are interested, but they ARE available...at the one and only source link of this article. Anyone can find this information out there.  The reason to have a separate page on Wikipedia that just repeats and reorganizes information on an existing page is what I'd want to know. -Markeer 00:10, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
