I bet Tulsa’s goalie feels stupid.

Lousy play by the goalie. It hit the ground in front of him, bounced over his head and bounced right into the goal. I don't think he could have gotten into a worse position and he didn't even start moving until the ball was almost directly above him.

This might be the equivalent of a full court shot in bastetball. We don't make too much of fuss over this brand of football round these parts but I suppose it is worth a gander. Judging this incident alone I'd say the goal keeper needs to seek other opportunities.

Yonder's the video.

I clicked on one of the links under this video where I saw the worst MLB umpire call of all time....ALL TIME!

Worth taking a look if you want to be totally amazed.

Thanks for posting this fantabulous sports thread, Scottie!

Please!

This is soccer!

Please put all posts about communist sports like soccer over on the Daily Kos.

We only want to discuss USA-American stuff here.

The goalie sometimes moves up when the ball is at the far end of the field, so he can get to anything that gets past the defense a bit faster. Then as the ball moves down the field, he drops back toward his goal.

Evidently the wrong thing to do in this case. Although I’ve never seen a kick like that go into the goal from such a distance. When I saw the headline, I just assumed that he managed to dribble it all the way down the field.

Yes, I’m not sure if the goalie did the wrong thing, but he must feel pretty stupid.

I thought this was a football game. At first I was like “damn!”

Proving once again, everything is bigger and better in Texas!

When I saw the headline, I thought American football. SMU making a big play touchdown would be big news. They haven’t had a decent team since they quit paying their players.
