Sometimes, all it takes a moment of craziness to go from a hero to a blundering fool.
FAR Rabat Goalkeeper Khalid Askri thought he had saved a penalty in a Moroccan Cup game playing for against Moghreb Fes.
It started so well, diving low to his left to make the crucial save, only for it to go horribly wrong.
I bet Robert Green doesn't feel so bad now.
That's what you get for not holding onto the ball, or putting it out of play. You live and you learn! :)
That's what you get when you play to the crowd!
And that, too!
A classic example of counting your chickens before they're hatched. :D
So what exactly did he do wrong? Did he drop the ball?
He blocked the goal and then turned around to play to the crowd about how awesome his block was. While he was doing that, the ball rolled into the goal on its own.
