    Maybe it's just me,but it's pretty hard to anticipate a through ball being played by your own left back.

    Yea your right (this time no sarcasm :)) the Paraguayan started to move away before Bornstine passed the ball. Looked like he was anticipating a pass to Conrad - he got lucky by anticipating wrong.

    Clearly the fault here is Bornsteins, and to a lesser extent Kellers. I can't fault Conrad or Demerit now. Both made a reasonable assumption that Bornstien wouldn't give up possession. When they realized what happened it was too late for both of them.
