Oy, I knew people would blame the goalie for celebrating. Come on, you'd assume the ball would keep traveling back after it was deflected 20 feet in the air. Not that it's forward momentum would be precisely canceled, while acquiring enough topspin to bounce forward when it lands. It was a freak event, that's what makes it INTERESTING.


No, I would've instantly deduced everything you just wrote and my cat-like reflexes would've taken it from there.

Goalie gets a goal-f.

You can not be in front of all defenders at the time of a ball being passed. As a defender, you can use this to your advantage to draw back an attacker. If you anticipate a pass correctly, you can jump behind him and draw him offsides. The danger in that is great. The idea is to prevent keeping the strikers all hanging around for a long punt from the goalie.

Can someone explain what 'offside' is, in English? I try to read the soccer-speak explanations and go @.@
As far as I can tell, the rule is: "If it's possible to make a goal, it's offside. Doubly-so if the ref is on the other team's payroll."

>> ^Jinx:

It was offside by, oooh, i'd say a good lightyear and half. Thats probably the principle reason he was so relaxed. Good reaction though.


That's the point though. He was totally relaxed, yet pulled off such a lightning quick reaction. He's definitely one of the best goalies ever, too bad he's injured so much lately.

>> ^CircleMaker:

Maybe I'm dense, but what was the goalkeeper doing all the way on the other side of the field to begin with?


I think it's similar to pulling your goalie for the extra forward in hockey. Desperation play.

The goalie, suddenly wondering "why are we wearing pink", fails to even attempt to stop the shot.

Fixed (for now)! Thanks!

Hmm... Some Internet contrarian are saying that an after-the-game penalty kick (such as this) is over when the ball is stopped, and that by stopping the forward motion of the ball this play was dead. The Fifa rule book doesn't seem entirely clear on when such penalty kicks are over. But I think this is definitely a goal and the ball was not stopped.

The penalty kick is stopped once it's forward momentum of the ball is spent. Obviously in this case it wasn't spent...the was no second touch to propel it towards the goal...it just came off and spun in. If the keeper had stopped it completely and then tossed it into the goal it wouldn't have counted.

I agree that it's a goal, but..
the forward momentum of the ball was spent, ..on rotational momentum, ..which was cashed in later for new forward momentum at a higher rate of exchange.


Ok fine the point is that it was not propelled towards goal by the kicker a second time.
