When you jump to catch the ball, bring your knee up as you jump

[darylim94]

@Nabiboss nobody makes a video of vandersars mistakes. but if u watch football u'll know.

taking nothing away form vandersar. hes still an awesome keeper

[Nabiboss]

@darylim94 huh, search Youtube, best saves of Edwin Van Der Sar and you'll see... ;)

The first one is terrible, any attacker would have headed it in before he could catch it.

@WesleyUithuisje i guess the major problem is the indecisiveness of the GK. even in the pro-league, you see some GKs committed themselves then backed away from the cross which resulted in the GK being in no-man's land. Generally, if the cross is coming into the 6 yrd box, u should try and claim the cross because thats where most OGs come from (miscommunication between CBs and GKs). Also keep ur eyes on the ball at all time
