when someone starts a sentence with “I’m not a basketball fan, BUT...” you know they’re about to say something real basketballist

Goalies are typically not the best defenders. It’s kinda like asking why the punter was flat footed as the return guy blew past him on the way to the end zone. His job is to kick, not to tackle. And this goalie’s job is to use his hands, not his feet.

It’s the end of the game, you can tell by the three whistles at :24 in the video. He’s supporting a desperation chance for the tie, kind of similar to pulling your goalie in hockey. If that’s the case, though, I have no idea why he isn’t further up, at least in the attacking third to shoot any ball that rebounds to…
