You can't judge the flight of the ball if you can't see it, so if someone bends it over the wall like that it's almost impossible to save. The only way you'd save that kind of free kick is if you gamble and move early, in which case it's quite possible that you'll end up looking like a @#%&! when it goes in the other side.
BTW at Ajax they had a special technique where Edwin would stand in the middle of the goal and the wall would move at the last moment so that he could see which way the ball was going. Believe it worked quite well too. |

I'm just wondering, when Denis Irwin and Beckham were curling free kicks into the top corner, did you lot celebrate the goal, then think "Of course the keeper should have stood more in the centre of his goal, etc." |
