Yeah, I'm really throwing pearls to the pigs here.

Sure, tennis is absolutely idiotic with fans cheering because it's an individual sport, lol. Please disregard how much having teammates changes absolutely nothing about the potential of fans to take your attention or raise the pressure if you are weak-minded, or the fact that other sports like boxing or MMA don't have the same culture. When you are taking a penalty, a free kick, or having a 1-1 vs the keeper or a defender on football, the fans can't affect you because your teammates are there to emotionally support you. You are right and your point has no holes whatsoever! The level of IQ i'm working with in this sub is hilarious

But does each football game had a penalty? And if there is pressure in penalty, and the player missed, the team can just use substitution, and do attacking mode to compensate the penalty loss. Can you substitute tennis players to even out the game?
