Women's college match. Amazing.

I've seen that done quite a few times. That one was certainly hit with a bit of venom though. Women still shouldn't play football.

What's up with the goalkeepers in women's soccer? They almost always seem to be comically inept.

Female goalkeepers are too short and hence are less likely to move further forward from the goal-line. It is always advise to any goalkeeper (male/female) to stay on the line during kick off or direct free kicks cause you have no time to get back on a good struck kick. Females have less muscle development in specific unmentionable places and so have slower pace stretch to reach further out of the body.

However that kick was very impressive for a female to do that distance. Very rarely you see that done by a female. Even some males can't do that well enough.



Hang loose guys

you don't need a page long explanation for everything you post...

anyway, rivelino was said to have done the same thing while the opposing keeper was finishing his pre-game prayer.

as you can't score straight from a kick off the other player must have passed it backwards.the ball has to go forward from a kick off.
so..that ain't a goal!

The rule was changed at some point in the 90s I think.

it's also hard to tell if it did with the angle given.

considering it's college level, either a.) it was kicked forward slightly out of habit or b.) the ref doesn't want to make such a menial call.
