Is it just me or is it a thing among goalies not even to try to save some shots. I feel as if I'm seeing a lot of goalies just stand and watch the ball pass them by. It only happens on shots that aren't too close to them, but they could at least dive for the ball to try to make the save. I'm not too into soccer -I vaguely follow it sometimes- but I can never understand this.

And the end of the USA game a few minutes ago is suspect to me. The lack of urgency seemed weird. Now if USA and Germany draw, they both advance, I think. If so, look for a draw, preplanned.

Now soccer is fixed? Smh
Goalie is one of the hardest positions in all of sports. You have to react and think about several things happening when the opposing team gets close to your box.

I didn't say it was fixed. But the goalie didn't try on USA's second goal. And no one moved on the last goal. I know it was hot and humid. They were talking on sports radio the other day about it. They said USA and Germany will tie (draw).

On USAs 2nd goal, the goalie was no where in position to stop the goal by Dempsey.
On the last goal, what was Howard supposed to do? He was in a good position but the ball got by him.
And smh at anyone saying the USA/Germany game will be fixed. That game determines the winner of the group, and the winner of the group gets an easier ride in the knockout stages. Anyone telling you that the USA game against Germany is going to be predetermined has no clue what they are talking about.

The goal is too big for the keeper to cover every bit of it. On USA's first goal by Jermaine Jones, the ball was too far away and moving too fast, and it was in the back of the net before the keeper could even react. It's not that keepers don't want to try and save shots like that, but they literally can't.
And what a fucking heartbreaker. We're still in a pretty good position to get out of the group stage, but damn.
