remember him this way

(I realise this is sposed to be 'as they happen' or close to that but a benchmark can't hurt)

a goalkeeper coming up for a corner in the dying seconds of a game is one of footballs greatest sights.

we can backtrack :)

kahn wins

a goalkeeper pelting back towards his line with a counterattack at his back is even better imo - possibly topped only by a goalie finding himself with the ball at his feet and too much time and space so's he has to think

schmeichel putting himself out of action for months doing that cost utd a league title in the mid-late 90's iirc

MLS style, w/ American football lines for measurement purposes & plastic turf for bouncyness

Awesome. He had plenty of time to pick his spot too. (NB that's the same commentator who was putting me off the Bundesliga on Friday - what kind of accent is that?!)

xps haha! I hadn't watched Kahn's goal 'til now

Think that commentator only works for GolTV Canada and the CBC, it wasn't the guy I was thinking about for the Bundesliga match. I agree, he sucks. Seattle has a dude who sounds like that too.

also LOL TFC man they are even worse than the Fire

Just seen an actual keeper goal for Vitoria Salvador v Corinthians - was a penalty, but still to be treasured imo. Sadly I only caught the replay, having been alerted by the crowd roar in São Paulo v Fluminense

Was actually a crucial goal as well. Brazilian Serie A currently on a knife-edge with two games left after today - the keeper goal put Fluminense top over Corinthians, but São Paulo have just scored a cheeky Zola flick putting Corinthians back top. We've all been watching the wrong leagues it would appear.

goal keepers taking free kicks and penalties seems to be more of a regular thing in South America. need more of that in Europe.

These are an absolutely amazing pair of games btw - ridiculous quantities of action in each.

and Fluminense score now

Heh - goal attampts São Paulo 10, Fluminense 29

scrappy goal for Fluminense while I was upstairs - they're now 24 minutes away from the title

All over here in a disappointingly unwobbly finale, congrats Fluminense. Also means back-to-back championships for Deco and Belletti.

That's a very big stadium with a very small crowd. Or is that video just deceptive?

think it's a college pointy football stadium and yes, small crowd due to chivas having virtually no fans plus playing at a second (third?) division club in the US Open Cup

It’s November and Begovic is Stoke’s joint top-scorer in the PL this season.
