That is true. However, when a kick is OFF target, then it definitely IS a poor penalty...

Getting them on target is not relevant? I think you'll find it is. So by your definition Diamante's penalty was as bad as Young's? You are right. Young gave the keeper no chance of saving it. Terrific.

That's a BIZARRE conclusion. If Cole hit that EXACT same penalty 100 times, against the best keeper in the world, it would go in 50 times, when the keeper guesses wrong. If Young hit his EXACT same penalty 100 times, against a 4 year old girl, it misses 100 times. Hit. The . Bloody. Target.

Entirely this. Cole is pretty reliable. Scored in the CL final shoot out a few weeks back. At least, unlike Young, he hit the target. Not much difference between Cole's miss and Diamante's winner. Just down to which way the keepers went.
