I’m hearing some people think Wondolowski really choked on the goal attempt at 90+2 minutes but I’m hearing others say the Belgian goalkeeper had gotten the angle down on him pretty good, so just try picturing trying to kick the ball into the goal where the goalkeeper is right on top of you. I think this was a similar situation. I can see that point of view some.
L'homme du match : Tim Howard Translated, Man of the Match: Tim Howard
Le gardien d'Everton n'a certes pas permis à son équipe de se qualifier pour le Top 8 de ce Mondial, mais il est tout de même entré dans l'Histoire du tournoi. En réalisant quinze arrêts en 120 minutes de jeu, l'ex-portier de Manchester United a effacé le record du Péruvien Ramon Quiroga (13) établi en 1978 face aux Pays-Bas (0-0). Incroyable sur sa ligne (47e, 57e, 76e et 79e), il a fait tout son possible pour retarder l'échéance. En vain.
Translated, he played real well.

I agree; at least as I remember it, that wasn’t an easy shot at all. He had to get the ball over the keeper somehow, at a short distance, if I recall correctly.
