every now and then something magical happens in a football match ...

I'm actually a bit surprised that wasn't saved.

[Tilly2]

He's a bit good, isn't he?

Well done to Jurgen for applauding him. Good sportmanship there.

[Sqad]

You have a point spath....BUT.....right in the top corner.....some free kick.
Yes it was 30 yards out but only an international or world class goalkeeper "might" have saved it.

[dannyk13]

Spath, you must be joking.

[Tilly2]

Gordon Banks would have saved it. :-)

[spathiphyllum]

Not joking at all. Even i know that the corners are preferable. The goal keeper went for the right corner also, but didn't actually get into the corner, he was a bit short.

Yes a professional free kicker.. But he's also a professional goal keeper and paid a lot.

[ichkeria]

Would have been save of the century to stop that.
Klopp did say beforehand Liverpool would “suffer” and he was right.
The man’s a genius :-)

[spathiphyllum]

What impresses me, is the curve he got on the ball. The accuracy, speed, etc.. etc.. doesn't impress me one bit.

[dannyk13]

Spath, watch the view from behind the goal. the keeper had no chance of reaching it.The ball was in the very corner so would have been 8ft from the ground.

[spathiphyllum]

I can get 8 ft? Easily achievable with a stretched arm and a slight jump.

Just my opinion.. Yes, good goal, but poor keeper work.

[aelmpvw]

i can only assume spath had put his wages on barca winning 2-0 ...

[Sqad]

spath...I wouldn't call it "poor goalkeeper work" but may call it..."questionable."

[dannyk13]

Spath, I'll ring the England manager and let him know that you should be playing for England.I don't doubt that you could reach up to 8ft with a leap, but not for a position four yards from the ball.

[spathiphyllum]

That's fair Sqad

Danny, i never said I would be better, but for 100K a week i will bloody try.

[Tilly2]

It amuses me that so many spectators know that they have the skills to outdo the professional players on the pitch. :-)

[dannyk13]

Spath //i will bloody try.//
As did the goalkeeper.

[spathiphyllum]

"As did the goalkeeper."

Just in my opinion, he could have done better. All that training, experience, money etc.. He can't safe a 30ft corner shot. But i mean, it was a blooming good goal, so fair play to him.

Remember when that England keeper rob green, wearing green, let an absolute sitter in after it bounced of his hands? Woi.

[Prudie]

whoops just had a sneaky look at the clip at work not realising that the sound was on.....

[steg]

//I'm actually a bit surprised that wasn't saved//

I’m not, and I was a goalie....

[goodgoalie]

I would have saved it :)
