Am i the only one thinking every single goal scored at the World Cup so far would've been saved by a bigger and more agile keeper?
There's a bloody good reason short goalkeepers don't make it in football and the goals that have gone nowhere near the corners yet still past the 'keeper are proving that. I know women are naturally shorter but there must be some tall keepers out there.
It's incredibly hard to watch football when you see a replay and think how on earth was that not saved?
For example Smith's first goal for England, brilliant turn and then she puts it well inside the post and yet the keeper still gets nowhere near it.
It's not quite as frustrating as the immeasurable shiteness of Danny Collins or Koumas not turning up at all against Germany at the weekend but it's getting right in the way of enjoying the football.

Women's football has never boasted the best 'keepers! But the Japan goalie looked half decent when you compare her to the shambles that Argentina and USA had between the sticks! I think yesterday was the first time i'd ever enjoyed a women's match (not including Horley obviously ;D) but that Owuku girl upfront was total sh!t, even if she is Chelsea

I've always noticed that no matter how brilliant the outfield players are, female goalkeepers are always rubbish!
I'm allowed to say this, because I was the 'keeper in my school team ;D

Oi, I'll have you know I play in goal half the time and at 5'9" I'm not particularly tall, for a goalkeeper at least. But....yeah....I am crap so I'll let you off this time....Even if I have scored on a couple of occasions coming forward at corners. I'm more inconsistent than crap, some days (albeit not many) nothing gets past.....other days (and to use the worst example) we lose 8-1 with me in goal.

Whack a wig on and get yourself an Argentian passport!
