Rule #72 For Goalkeepers

Listen, I am not one to make fun of my fellow goalkeepers, but this young fella really takes the cake. The following video occurred during a Moroccan cup tie between Maghreb Fez and FAR Rabat who were in the midst of a penalty shoot-out.



As you can tell FAR Rabat's keeper Khalid Askri comes up with a huge save on the penalty shot and immediately begins to celebrate. He is hitting his chest, kissing his team's badge, jumping into the stands, alright you get the picture, when the ball due to some crazy Moroccan spin ends up in the net. Of course the goal must stand and unfortunately Askri's team lost the shoot-out 7-6.

The lesson, or Rule #72 as it should be referred to from this day forth, is always keep your eyes on the ball. (Thanks to Jake for the link and video)
