By this I mean your reaction to your Unlucky Shot. If I ever did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifUoYgAfMis
you know, really, that shouldn't have been an own goal. play should have been stopped as soon as the defender got back to the ball. it's obvious that the keeper stopped the ball outside his area.
no, not really. i'm a pretty level-headed guy. it's just an ironic username for the type of person i am.

I know games are competitive but I always laughed at own goals especially if they were unfortunate. You have to take an optimistic approach to them and not beat yourself up. I remember I headed an own goal on a corner trying to clear it out. It was a great header on the wrong goal, I was mad but I had to get over and laught at myself. It was a goal like neville's against Liverpool in last year's derby.
Own goals are great... it's like added humor into a game.... our goalkeeper once scored on himself attempting a completely un-pressured pass across the 18 box... he miskicked and shot it STRAIGHT into the goal from inside his own 18. Fortunately he's a great keeper beside that, and we won the game regardless
Usually by punching the goalkeeper on the nose, and questioning why his reactions were not quick enough, or why he didn't realise that my mis-kick was going in that direction !
Own goal are pretty funny at times. But if it were an important match, it would be too crucial to be funny.
the advantage would have been gone as soon as the defender got it. no one was around for 15 yards. he even slowed down and looked behind him before he kicked it into the net.
haha gotta love the matterazi own goal! a guy i played against last year in college scored one just like that... that was the only goal we scored...
i've only scored one own goal in my career. it came in a jv soccer game and i was playing left back. I had never played it before and was only a left footed player at the time. so after some miscommunication between mids a forward was on a fast break. i was closing in and he knocked the ball too far ahead of him. i attempted to clear the ball out of bounds because he was right on my shoulder. Ofcourse i used my left foot and unleashed a bending shot that went upper V into my own goal. Our goal didnt even attempt to save it. we won 2-1 tho
