You know, that was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be! Any chance the goalie just took it easy on him because it was charity?

It's a charity game, raising money for Unicef.

I'd like to think it was an honest goal but it was a bit of a soft kick for a world class goalie to miss.

Watch the whole sequence of penalties here http://videosift.com/video/Soccer-Aid-2010-Penalty-Shoot-Out-Part-1

They weren't taking it easy anyone. Woody was like the 9th or 10th person for his side to step up.

It wasn't a world class goalie. It was a charity event with celebrities and former players taking part and only celebrities took part in the shootout. Jamie Theakston the goalie is a TV host/presenter.>> ^Asmo:

He looked really awkward before and during the shot, maybe it threw the goalie off. Solid shot, though.

Indeed. Theakston can barely move from what I saw. Most of the match was boring but I managed to see the penalties.
