It's good for us because if they can do it there's no reason for us not to aspire to do the same. By the way, France's defending in the last 10 minutes of normal time in that game was honking. If any of our boys had done anything similar this board would be in meltdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spanish goalie got a foot to the ball at least. He nearly saved it.Ā Here is our keeper... he still appears to be some distance from the ball, which was struck from the half way line.

I think our one was at least 50% coaching error so they have to share the glory IMO. The best bit about the Spanish one is that Pedri got "credited" with an own goal.Ā Ā I'm sure he will never let the goalie forget about that.

OK so Marshall shouldnātĀ lose a goal from the halfway line but keepers are told to stand further up the pitch these days. The Croatians first goal was 100% the keeperās fault even though the OG wasnāt credited to him.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 It was a very pacey back pass I recall. Keeper just took his eye off the ball and it is a mistake nearly everyone can relate to. Marshall's mistake in contrast was conjured out of nothing. No need for it whatsoever. He put himself and the team on offer for no discernable reason and the Czechs accepted gratefully.Ā Even now no-one can figure it out. Because you can't, it was that stupid. By definition if you are a goalkeeper and you get beat from the half way line in normal play (i.e. not going up for a corner in the last seconds of a match) then you have completely and utterly fucked up your job, no argument, no ifs nor buts. You have made a royal cunt of it.Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumnio Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Hart, James, Pickford in order of being a decent keeper for me. I honestly believe thatĀ Pickford is a shit keeper, he should be stealing church roofs and living in a caravan. At least Hart was acceptable for a few years.
