Those balls swerving in from the corner are a goalkeeper's horror. Very, very difficult to get the footwork right, because it is hard to guage where the shot is headed. Goicoechea unfortunately lost control of his body while he was stretching backwards to catch the ball. It can be a challenging decision to catch or parry. He knew he could catch it, but that was as far as his thinking went, grin, he should have parried. Ironically, it was a parody of Zeman's season at Roma.
I like Zeman. Whatever coach they get is gonna have a tough time getting Roma's young back line to stop having brain farts.
There are web sites where they invite you to pay, in order to get the results of matches a week or two in advance. Often, they give you a hint, but you have to pay for the full information. For example, "game in Serie A in the next couple of weeks, final score 1-2" or "2.Bundesliga this week, visitor wins by wide margin." When you pay, they give you the details and a way to "unpay" if the result is not as expected. The web sites keep changing, of course, because this activity is completely illegal. Those familiar with old-time piracy may remember how in order to find the pirates' cove, you needed to Altavista the pass phrase ("zero day" was the most common). For these games, the most common phrase is "another win." Although alternative versions exist in Italian and German, since most of the fixed games seem to involve clubs from those two countries. The Roma result was (supposedly) known long time in advance, as a home defeat, that's why we saw some strange defensive mistakes. Today it hit the front page of Yahoo, finally: http://news.yahoo.com/european-match-fixing-probe-380-suspicious-games-112420894--sow.html And on the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21319807 In many cases, the coaches themselves seem oblivious to the bets/fixing, since they are supposedly arranged by club owers, the betting mafia, and some of the players themselves. At any rate, this investigation is just starting. The problem was bad five years ago. Right now, it's so big I have my doubts that there are any honest games left, in particular in Italy and Germany.
