Based on some light Googling, it looks like the success rate for kickers is around 70-80%... even the elite shootout/penalty shot guys in the NHL are around 45-50%, with ~35% being good, and of course the NHL scraps it in the playoffs (and will hopefully never consider it). Soccer has some pretty strange rules.
