Have a t-test to back it up?

I didn't have game theory in engineering statistics, but in economics we did. Whatever floats your boat I guess. Just have to wonder... why don't football clubs appoint statisticians to their goalkeeping staff? :pumpkin:

I think there's too many factors in penalty kicks to use game theory in this discussion. Whether it be the skills of each individual player, the way you strike the ball, the surrounding conditions, hell, even letting the ball go through your legs if you choose correctly, there's too many...

I just respect the opinions of actual keepers and those who have had training in the position before, that's all. No hard feelings.

Are you an actual keeper and have been trained?

Why not just try doing suicide sprints from goal post to goal post during penalties? Maybe that will work.

Hey, I do stutter steps when I take penalties, too. :pumpkin:

But even if you try to guess by reading the player's body movements, you can still be unpredictable. I'm not arguing anything else but that. If you close your freakin' eyes, dive to a random spot, the kicker can simply slow down or do a stutter step and totally screw up the keeper's...

If the keeper becomes predictable on saving penalties, whether he tries to read the player or just guess, then he is just an idiot.

I don't think that is totally accurate.

Not if you don't know how to pronounce his name, like me.

Oh, and Brad Guzan owns. Good job by one of our keepers. I think we should bring him in as a backup for Buffon. Hell, any of top US keepers would do a good job.

:lol2: :lol: :lol2: :lol: Oh man, look at all our fans insulting our players after losing a friendly. This is incredible entertainment. And I haven't even read the last 15 pages yet after the game.

Alright, I'm off to dinner. Have to catch the rest of the match later. Later.

:seven:

Oh yeah, that's right. :lol:

Screw Rio Cokehead.

Ummm, excuse me, it's GOL TV. :agree:

Martin O'Niell has more hair that Brad Guzan. :confused:

I agree with this more.
