Can you fake a shot during a penalty?
The referee blows the whistle to indicate that the penalty kick may be taken. The kicker may make feinting (deceptive or distracting) movements during the run-up to the ball, but may not do so once the run-up is completed. The kick and the last step the kicker takes must be in motion.

Are penalties sudden death?
If scores are level after regular time and extra-time (if used), each team will alternately take penalty kicks against the opposition goalkeeper. If, after five pairs of kicks, an equal number of goals have been scored by each team (or neither team has scored) the shootout proceeds to sudden death.
The defending goalkeeper must remain on the goal line, facing the kicker, between the goalposts, without touching the goalposts, crossbar or goal net, until the ball has been kicked. The players other than the kicker and goalkeeper must be: at least 9.15 m (10 yds) from the penalty mark.
If all eleven players have shot and it is still level, the first kickers go again, and then the second, then the third, etc. If a player has been sent off, he is skipped and the next player in line takes their penalty.
