- I stole your format, but divided the teams into four groups -- nm - Roger More Jun 29, 10:29 2

lol love when these goalies get massive credit for a blocking a shot directly at them. - Jovian Jun 29, 10:21 16
- There is something to be said for proper placement. - ty97 Jun 29, 10:24 10
  - still that was more luck than skill -- nm - Jovian Jun 29, 10:25 9
    - still without him there would have been a goal right? - Dándukini Jun 29, 10:27 8
      - I agree. but dont say it was an amazing save. cause it wasnt. it was just a save by the person doing his job -- nm - Jovian Jun 29, 10:28 7
        
        LOL - Dándukini Jun 29, 10:37 3
        
        in baseball, their are routine plays, and then their are amazing plays. - Jovian Jun 29, 10:40 2
        
        but one tends to give second basemen (etc.) credit for positioning themselves well so that plays look more routine than really are. -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 29, 10:52
        
        saving an obvious chance for a goal nomatter how is a cheearworthy event in football - Dándukini Jun 29, 10:44
        
        I understand what you're saying, but by that full logic, no save is amazing since a goalie's job is to save. -- nm - ty97 Jun 29, 10:31 2
        
        some of those saves during the penalty kicks were amazing saves. - Jovian Jun 29, 10:34 1
