I totally agree with Moneyball69 tbh , This was rly unnecessary and the point he thaught he was pro , i wont to see him doing an actual necessary save , cuz this was bullshitz.
@skipperrox99 I remember this, I believe the play was off side. So if it had gone in it wouldn't have counted. Why grab it? Why not have some fun and make a remarkable save.
@skipperrox99 Who knows?Do you even watch football? Its obvious that the goal tender knows that the play was called offside,Or els he would not have done that then celebrated, It doesn't matter if the offside was correct or not, As the ball was in air, if the ref called the play offside, He could have stepped out of the way and let it gone in the net. The point is that if the play was called as offside it would not have counted. Catch it to be safe of what? a goal that would not have counted.
Sure-- the play was called offside, but if the whistle was not blown before the strike, how does the goalie know whether or not the ref saw the offside or not, and whether or not he will consider it a good goal. If i were playing, and saw an offside play, do i just sit on my ass and say "oh, it's offside". NO. The ref could miss it, and count a goal.
Nice save-- but (depending on when whistle was blown) stupid.
@skipperrox99 Sure, Sure you do LOL Thats why they have the amazing Idea of flags men on either side of the field, We could argue the causality of this all day, but as I say, remembering watching the game, The save was as a result of the play being off side, Not the goaltender thinking or assuming that it was, But that the ref called that it was. If you find the longer version of the clip, You will see the goaltender celebrate his save, and play soon stop.
Okay then, if what you say is true, and the whistle was blown before the strike, then that save was acceptable (...although still unnecessary. You've got to admit that one...)
But you cannot honestly tell me that offsides are ALWAYS called, and there are never any wrong goal counts. The men with flags are deceivable creatures, you know.
P.S: no offense... but the name "hippy" is kind of contradicting. You snapped at me like a...like a (insert clever analogy here)
@skipperrox99 LOL Of coarse I can admit that, I mean I will admit that even if it was called offside it is pretty watcha call it "showboaty" You know, just showin off.
It was technically was unnecessary. I mean he could have just caught it.
but I admire his courage to just do just attempt something like that, Without looking like a fool.
LOL Oh yeah all the time, I mean for all we know it could have been onside, But what they call is what they call.
Yes, it was unnecessary. Poor fella could have gotten an injury from the landing (awkward position).
...although it was cool-- very risky though. He would have looked rather silly had he not stopped the ball.
And yes, the men with flags can never be trusted. They LIE. (well-- actually... most of the time they are correct... only on some occasions do they mess up... but i really wanted to get that dramatic feel, so i went ALL out with the comment)
@skipperrox99 LOL Yeah I made this account a long time ago, LOL I don't even think about what it might convey to someone anymore. or Oh how it is interpreted. LOL but do I apologize for "snapping".
Yes-- when i read "hippy" I just imagined a person sitting in a meadow of flowers with bell-bottom pants... singing "All you Need Is Love" with a perfectly tuned acoustic guitar, under a beautiful sunset... i'm guessing that I interpreted wrong?
It's alright.... i suppose my "bitch" comment wasn't too nice either. I'm sorry.
...damn-- still haven't come up with that analogy... crocodile? no. such a commonly used term. I'll keep thinking.
ya when a fucking show's his skills in a match and it is successful, people call him an idiot, (that does not mean that i am a keeper, i prefer midfield position LOL)
Actually that was too easy for him. The ball was coming down as a low speed and predictable trajectory -- and for a professional like him, that was like nothing, not even careless ...
stay on this page and look under related videos its probably the second one... its says "Rene Higuita Scorpion save" it was in full speed this is a slow motion so ur wrong
@KIWIAD00 even if a player was offside and the ball went in, it still would of counted because that player that was offside was not part of he play so it woul dof counted.
It was fucking offside lol, the whistle had been blown. Even if he missed it, it would not have been a goal. See how all the players stopped making an offensive move towards the goal? He was doing it as a bit of show boating... nothing else. There was no risk involved... only the risk of looking like a bit of dick head if he missed it.
Maybe next time pay a little more attention before you post?
That wasn't a "save." The play was stopped anyway, he was just showing off. It was directed right at him, so if it was in play I seriously doubt he would've done that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Play was stopped, he wouldn't have done that if it was during play. You can see all of the other players are just walking around not trying to make a play.
I was at this match at Wembley. Jamie Redknapp was flagged offside so Higuita did the scorpion kick as the goal would have been disallowed. It was a shit game that ended 0-0, if memory serves, so we needed some entertainment.
Way wrong... He wasn't even close to offsides... That was a Legit strike on goal... If you need to know what off sides looks like i'll find a clip for you
To be offsides, you have to be past the last defender at the time of the ball being kicked, and before the ball touches the ground or the opponent player, you must touch it.... This guy took a shot on goal... It did not touch any player on his team that was past any defenders...
If the linesman was "flagging" He was probably either
A. Flagging a foul for the center officiate to call, or
B. A flippin idiot.
Center officiate would have called the player onside all day long...
