It's as close to pro wrestling as you'll see in sports. The one key rule in soccer is that you can't use your hands. A non-goalie just used his hands to prevent a game winning goal. As the announcer wondered what he was doing, I was thinking what a crippling flaw that is. At a *minimum*, that kick should have taken place without the goalie in net.

- It's not at all. - David Jul 2, 14:31 3
  - I shouldn't say "equivalent" I should say "analogous". - musubi Jul 2, 14:35 2
    - Sycor's comment that it's more like goaltending in basketball is really the right analogy. -- nm - pmb Jul 2, 14:37 1
      - Not from the players perspective. He knew it was a foul. A goal tend is not usually intentional. (nm) - musubi Jul 2, 14:40
- The difference is that in basketball there are nearly 100 scoring chances per game and nearly half are converted. In a game that has a handful of - pmb Jul 2, 14:31 1
