First goal that game to mind before I opened the threadFirst goal that came to mind was the Eto'o goal against us in the CL. I don't think it was even a good shot by him. VDS must be very disappointed to be beaten at near post.

Are you serious?
And this one
It's like he thinks it's an easy save because he's watching the slo-mo replayWell no because he has a split second and two balls go off in different directions.
You don’t know what the word “fluke” means, clearlyRonaldo vs Porto. Helton only suffered that goal due to bad positioning. No GK should concede from that far.
Without that fluke and without our captain's injury we could very well have knocked you out after a 2-2 in OT. And it was one of your best sides ever that season..
Yeah that’s silly. It’s a myth that no goals should ever be conceded at the keeper’s near post.My Ronaldo loving housemate seems to think that Messi’s solo goal vs Athletic Bilbao is one that should have been saved “as it was near post”.
yeah fluke might be a bit harsh. He clearly wanted to score that way but a good keeper these days would be obliged to save those.The point is no GK expects anyone to shoot from that far.. Ronaldo chanced his arm and caught the keeper off guard.
Ronaldo has scored a number of outstanding goals in his career, so I wouldnt call it a fluke.
Yep 2-2. We had a good team.Did the first leg end 2-2? I thought we went through 1-0 on aggregate. Genuinely don’t remember a 2-2.
Huh, so it was. Just watched the highlights, you went 1-0 at Old Trafford and gifted us an equaliser!Yep 2-2. We had a good team.
It's obviously not the clown show of the others he conceded in that game, but it always looked to me like he was plenty close enough to get something on that and pulled his hand away.I actually don't think that Bale's bicycle kick was anywhere near as unstoppable as people think it was
Although it's not right at the keeper, it's nowhere near the top corner either, and the speed of the ball isn't that fast.
Karius takes a hop just around the time Bale connects with the ball, so he's late to dive. He also pulls his arms out mid-dive for whatever reason.
A better goalkeeper saves that IMO.
It's one of my favourite goals of all time. It's one of the quickest bycicle kicks I've ever seen and karius just couldn't react in time. The cross was quick, the reaction of Bale was quick.I actually don't think that Bale's bicycle kick was anywhere near as unstoppable as people think it was

So many goals in football that go in because the keepers are doing a random jump as the ball is being kicked...I actually don't think that Bale's bicycle kick was anywhere near as unstoppable as people think it was

This was simply a very bad goalkeeping. Its a good shot but it wasn't even fast and struck with power. I remember the media were creaming themselves the next day.Hardly anyone up here ever mentions the keeping in this goal, all we got was how mercurial McFadden is:
One key quality of some of the best shotstoppers I've ever seen (Buffon, and to a lesser extend De Gea) is that they always had their body ready for a dive as the ball was being kicked. Feet planted, crouched down, etc...So many goals in football that go in because the keepers are doing a random jump as the ball is being kicked...
That's a lot of coulda woulda shoulda.Ronaldo vs Porto. Helton only suffered that goal due to bad positioning. No GK should concede from that far.

Eh? Germany had to score 2 goals by that point to go through so Neuer did simply what every keeper would, join the attack. Obviously it was all very pointless, they wouldnt have scored 2 in 2 minutes either way and technically is was his mistake. But no one blamed him in the context of the game and its not really a case of a famous/great goal that had questionable goalkeeping.
Neuer vs Korea. I don't get the obsession with him, He's a good goal keeper and of course famously known. But He comes across like a bit of a nutter. This wasn't the first time He came out of his penalty box. Someone could probably create a compilation of his and Valdes' mistakes and it will look like an ordinary clip of football than questionable goalkeeping.
Good shout and I always wondered the same because he really looks akward diving out to his right and normally you wouldn`t expect someone scoring from that angle.Shouldn't Romero be saving this?
I dunno. Free hit within the 6-yard box, struck with power into the far corner. It's impossible for him to react in that situation. Not seeing much wrong in his left hand position either, it's in the right area for a close-range effort.Shouldn't Romero be saving this?
Still a questionable goalkeeping because He was not goalkeeping. And the goal is definitely famous, at least where I live.Eh?

I think a braver keeper might save it, Neuer or Schmeichel would do the star fish and probably knock it with their arm.Shouldn't Romero be saving this?
I agree with you, looks like poor keeping but Eto'o was very subtle to shoot it very quick and at the unexpected angle. Let's say a world class keeper like VDS might have save it.Disagree with the first one, Eto'o takes the shot very quickly at points blank range and he has the whole of the goal to aim for.
That's a good shout.Gazza free kick in the Cup semi vs Arsenal.
For me Romero needs to move to his near post and is surprised when Götze puts it it across him. It's one of those where if he'd managed to get his left hand in the way it would have been a fantastic save but there would have been an element of luck in him getting his body position right from that range.Eh?

However looking at it again, I think he can`t be at fault, Götze is very very close, so his time to react is basically nothing and Götze does actually incredible well to control it with the chest and shoot it with his left in one quick fluid motion. If anything I´d blame the defenders for leaving that much space for Götze to go inbetween.
Yeah I think some keepers would have 'made themselves big' and got their left arm to it, but nobody is intentionally blocking that shot from that range. I also think if Götze goes near post some keepers would have been embarrassed because they didn't move quickly enough to their right, so it's very difficult to say what is 'correct' in these instances.I think a braver keeper might save it, Neuer or Schmeichel would do the star fish and probably knock it with their arm.
Romero I think over commits a bit too much to the near post and isn't spread enough - but that's easy to say, I think Gotze surprised him with being able to hook it to the far post.
First goal that came to mind....
World Cup 2002 - Ronaldinho vs Seaman
Exactly. I think it's a questionable thread. Theres a difference between a goalkeeper making a mistake where they should have done better and where they got outdone by an attacker.So many here never tried goalkeeping eh.
Benefits of repetitive replays and slow replays in every angles made it seem like it's the gk's "faults".
Yes. Good strike under pressure, but the keeper is all over the shop. His only defence is Sheringham blocking off the sight of the ball.
Anyone thinks this should really have been saved? Felt like it was really poor reaction from the GK.
Missed your post, completely agree.I actually don't think that Bale's bicycle kick was anywhere near as unstoppable as people think it was

(Sorry can't post media yet so had to delete the youtube link from the quoted post. It was Beckham free-kick against Colombia)Yes. Good strike under pressure, but the keeper is all over the shop. His only defence is Sheringham blocking off the sight of the ball.
Same with this one. Mondragon may as well start at the corner flag he is that far away from where the ball ends up. I mean everyone knew where Beckham invariably puts the ball.
