Something not mentioned yet is that the ball is often travelling up to 80mph when the keepers are attempting to cover ground to get to them. Phenomenal in my humble opinion!
Yes! This is not really related to that but I hate when people say basketball players are better athelets because they can score on so little basket but try to kick soccer ball with ur feet while running almost full sprint. Hand eye coordination is much easier task to learn than foot eye coordination.
@@EdmundosJR eh there is a reason football is the most watched sport in the world after all but I actually love basketball too. Football basketball and UFC are my favourite sports we shouldn’t compare them
@@EdmundosJR the basketball net is not so little tho. It is about 18 inches or foot 6 in diameter. It can easily fit 3 balls at once. Tha basketball is also bigger than a football. I am a football fan but I think basketballers are better athletes. Footballers are better in terms of cardio and maybe top speed. But basketball is tough.
Basketballers jump way higher than 98 percent of footballers. They are bigger aswell (both weight and height) and also are way stronger than footballers. Footballers can get agility but bsketballers in general are better athletes.
The entire ball need to pass the line for it to be a goal. Goal posts are 24 feet in width and 8 feet tall so that’s a lot of space to cover so being quick on your feet and positioning is critical Keep up the great work y’all
And to add to that the have to be able to ‘Switch On’ at a moments notice as they have long periods far from the action. As one who play a lot as keeper that’s one of the hardest things to do is keep your muscles warm and ready and stop your mind from wandering when you have nothing to do. Most of the training drills keepers do is focused on reaction time and recovery speed(I.e. time to recover from one save and be able to make another) being tall helps but I have known a few good small keepers. The one big bonus of being a professional Goalkeeper is that your career can last well into your 40s due to less overall stress, wear and tear of the body than an outfielder. Alas I never got past amateur level maybe in another life I will be a sports star?
@@nieczerwony aye not just that I have more than once dived and almost knocked myself out by diving straight into the goal post. But I must also add you get a nice adrenaline rush when you make a save. And saving a penalty is the biggest rush for a keeper.
@@lordomacron3719yup not only waiting for long periods of times but there’s games where your being contested the entire game. Some games the other team is just pressing like crazy and you have to be on your toes for the entire game. It’s a unique position, the last man, last line of defence.
09:30, the scorpion kick save. His name is rene higuita, colombian goalkeeper of the 1990's. That was performed in 1995 friendly match against england.
As a lot of people have probably said, the entire ball needs to cross the line, it doesn't matter if its on or off the ground when it does. But also, the saves where the keeper is using his head instead of his hands is because his own team passed it back to him. A keeper can't use his hands if a team mate intentionally passes him the ball.
Rene Higuita A legendary keeper from Colombia’s first golden generation of the 90’s. It’s a very interesting team to look into because of the tragedy’s of the team, since they never reached their potential because of the violence in the country, leading to Higuita being imprisoned during the 94 World Cup and the team was eliminated early causing Atlético Nacional and Colombian football legend, Andres Escobar, to be shot to death. To this day, as someone who has a lot of Colombian friends here in 🇲🇽, they will tell u this violences is still present, especially in derby’s
Nah, that violence is not still present. Colombia was a total shithole in the 80s and 90s with tragedy after tragedy, bunch of bombs and war going on, nothing comparable with today. We can actually go out to places without the fear of being killed in a bomb or a shooting.
Sooo much respect for keepers. I played soccer throughout highschool and on occasion had to fill in for our goalie. There is not a more lonely feeling when the other team is attacking and gets past the defense. These guys are so athletic and have so much courage! ♥️👊💪♥️
4:08 I don’t think you noticed that the goalkeeper had to sprint across the whole pitch to save that. And the two clubs are from the same city so that makes it more spectacular in some way.
I was a goalkeeper, and I had brilliant saves and ridiculous blunders. At the lowest amateur level, to be honoust. On a good day, when you keep everything out, I enjoy watching the opponents getting frustrated with each other. Left, right, down and high. First close range, and as desperation grows, the long (chanceless) distance shots come. From the other side, losing because of my butter hands, or loosing 13-0 also accured.
3:28 reason why the keeper didn't use his hands because his teammate passed to him.. if the keeper used his hands it would've been an indirect free kick and most likely a red card since the ball was gonna go inside.
ironically a rule made because of higuita who did the scorpion and made officials realise goalies should be encouraged to use their feet and be good on the ball.
@@tesleemhussein5217 no, the rule was made because teams were killing games by keeping the ball too easily. It was a massive advantage to the team who had the lead, and often made things extremely boring for the spectators.
The most notorious case was Denmark's use of back-passes during the 1992 Euro(which they won), the 1992 Summer Olympics (that same summer) was the first competition to apply the rule.
Enjoyed that. It was fun picking out the teams from the home and away kits for the premier league over some years; the international matches and the European leagues. There was even Gordon Banks’ infamous save from an ancient Brazil vs England match. Not seen this video before.
The save at 9:39 was done by René Higuita, the goalkeeper of Colombia and that move has been named "the scorpion save". EPIC! The last one is fake though, guys. 😉
Great reaction video! Y'all should do a reaction on mind tricks that goalkeepers play during penalty kicks. Very entertaining to see psychological battles between goalies and penalty kick takers.
Y'all ever gonna do Coast Contra?!?! THey have the most FIRE freestyles. Start with Straightenin... The flow and choreography is bananas! These dudes are LEGIT! The future of hip hop!
Goalies are often the most underrated position. When a team loses, it's often blamed on them. But when a team wins, it's the strikers who got the praise.
Great video guys, great reactions... nice to see the World Cup-saving stop from Spanish keeper Iker Casillas against the Netherlands in 2010, the legendary acrobatic save from England's Gordon Banks against none other than the GOAT Pele in the 1970 WC, and of course the "Scorpion" save by Colombia's Rene Higuita (although it was on a friendly at Wembley in 1995). I know this was done before Qatar 2022 WC, so next video should have another World Cup-saving stop, Dibu Martinez against France in the last seconds of extra time to keep Argentina from losing that match! Keep up the great work! I'm glad you are spreading the gospel of Football!
1:15 2010 World Cup Final The Netherlands VS Spain Arjen Robben VS Iker Casillas Arjen Robben is regarded as one of the best players of his generation and was often lauded as among the best wingers in the world VS Iker Casillas, a Madrid legend, the best goalkeeper in Real Madrid's history and in the history of Spanish football. If that ball went in... .... The Netherlands would have won the World Cup instead of Spain.
Higuita did the scorpion kick save against England, and then the next clip is one of his Colombian successors against Messi. Colombia has some serious goalies if you ask me. Check out Córdoba and Ospina as well.
The whole ball has to cross over the line, it doesn't matter if it's in the air or on the ground. As long as the entire ball passes the line. Most big leagues now use something Goal Line Technology, with cameras and trackers that track the ball and whether it crossed the line. If it's crossed the line, the ref gets a signal to his wrist signifying a goal. There's been cases where it looks like the whole ball crossed the line, but there was maybe a couple centimeters that was still touching the line.
Hi Guys I really enjoy your music videos, but definitely what a I enjoyed the most it is your turn into futbol (soccer) hope you´ll watch next world cup start next november, and you should come to Costa Rica to support USA team in next games in the area... you´re more than welcome... remenber next world cup will held by CAN-USA- & MEX
Goalies wear the different color uniforms to make it easier for the ref to see they're the player allowed to use his hands. Everybody already mentioned goalie can't use their hands if the ball's coming from a team mate, so I'll just add that a goalie can't use their hands outside of the bigger box on the field. Once he's out of that box, he has to use his feet (and head) like everybody else. Great reaction video, glad to see young man in yellow got to see the bicycle kick!
Need a Coast Contra reaction!! Either the DJ Cosmic Kev, Give up the Goods, or Never Freestyle. They have much more, but those are some of the best in my opinion.
that last clip is actually edited, it was made for a british commercial. The real clip it shows the goalkeeper failing to stop the penalty kick. UA-cam a video called " The Worlds Best Goalkeeper Penalty Save - Wait for it!!! "
You asked for the name of the goalkeeper who made the scorpion save at 9:40- well his name is René Higuita, a now retired goalie of Colombian descent. 🙂
Something nobody ever mentions regarding Higuita's scorpion save. The whistle had already been blown, had he missed and the ball hit the net, it wouldn't have counted anyway. If the whistle hadn't been blown?, he'd have never attempted it. That said, it was a great save regardless and looks awesome. Obviously.
@3:55 - The 'entire' ball must cross the line for it to be a goal and/or to be considered 'out of play'. That means that even if an inch of that ball is still over the white bit of line....it isn't a goal nor would it be considered out on the boundary lines of the filed.

24 ft or 12?
@@evanforensics they're 7.3m / 24ft
