Yeh yeh, not to good by Van der Sar indeed.. luckily we had Ruud in that second half!
Those type of balls are difficult for goal keepers though. Van Der Sar had the same problem as Keller on the Schweinsteiger goal against the Keller.
The ball comes in at an angle, mid-goal, it is far enough off the line that it makes it very difficult for the goal keepr to get to it and it is very risky for him to go to the ball because then he can be beaten very easily. The keeper is frozen because he has to hold the middle of the goal for that flick from an attacker, but then the ball is past him into the far post if he does not play the ball.
Very difficult ball to play for a keeper. Each time a goal like that is scored, I blame the defensemen...they should clear the ball when it is played through the 6 yard box.
