“It’s like an alarm clock’s gone off, and I’ve just got to get away. I think it was John Lennon who said: “Life is what happens when you’re making other plans.”, and that’s how I feel. Although he also said: “I am the Walrus I am the eggman” so I don’t know what to believe.”

Unisex Green Jumpers are cool

I've thrown a kettle over a pub, what have you done?

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 : Fri Jul 02, 2010 9:45 pm  
Can someone explain to me in this day and age ..why goalkeepers dive for imaginary penalties?
I know that they think.......''well it's fifty-fifty' and I've watched this guy on video...but why??
I have long been an advocate of 'stand up and see where the ball is going first'
Modern penalty takers know that goalies just dive for the sake of it so often stick it down the middle.
I was telling the Ghana goalkeeper to just stand there, but he wouldn't listen. He would have saved at least two..instead he saved none.
That should be good for someone lecturing on the theory of penalties and probabilities. :wink:
What the heck. I knew Ghana would fook up. :(
I'll supply my own answer:-
Because if he stands there and the ball goes to the side of him out of reach...he won't save it. :wink:

That.Was.Epic!

Was that the greatest ending to a World Cup game in history? Truly miraculous ending and devastating for Ghana.

I refer my right honourable Blobbynator to the 1966 Word Cup final.

Bizzarre isn't it? 2 simple saves if he just stood there and that short one step run up, what was that about? Knew he'd miss, shouting at TV to take a run up. Poor penalty techniques from Ghana all round, anyone who things penalties are luck are silly, they can be very simply if you just stay cool and do what you as a goalie or player know you should.

Uruguay bloke that handled on the line is a hero. Simple as that. Country before himself as he knows he isn't appearing in semi or maybe even final.

Chiles playing along with the little game was pathetic.
He needs to get back to his One Show, Grannys favourite slot.
He's a T!T.

Very true, but stuff like that should be a penalty goal, rather than just a penalty. But that opens a whole new can of worms, FIFA have enough on their plate with goal-line technology!

I thought something similar myself.
Will you ever see a clearer CERTAIN goal in your life.
And what happens?
That's right Ghana get a CHANCE through the lottery that is a penalty kick to score the goal the would definatly have got if they hand't of been cheated.
But lets not forget this is the sport that is petrified to join the 21'st centuary so I wont hold out any hope.
