That first miss by Radford was just horrible. The goalkeeper did not even make contact with the ball. He literally missed the side of the barn. I do feel bad for the last kid that missed, 19 years old and first time playing on the Lions. Bad choice by manager.
I laughed at Radford’s miss, but the other two I credit the Italian goalkeeper for making.
It’s funny, sometimes a shooter literally shoots the ball straight, but the goalie dives in another direction, and the pundits will say the penalty was “Well Taken”, when if the goalie just stood still he would have easily saved it.
That’s not racist. That’s upset fans. Apparently, Brits have never been upset at any white or whatever color skinned player who missed a kick or ever boo-ed a play.
Cannot remember where I read this BUT goal keepers have a better chance of success if they just guess wher the kicker is aiming and start moving before the kick. The problem is when they guess wrong they look spectacularly stupid. And looks are more important than reason or success.
Rashford made a stilted approach and tied himself up hitting the post.
Far worse misses but it will haunt him. For years.
A mural of him was savaged.
