This is the second year in-a-row that Steffen has gotten the start in a FA Cup semifinal and made a horrible blunder. Here’s Saturday’s Steffen fail vs. Liverpool.

Western Sydney Wanderers goalkeeper Daniel Margush had a blunder of all blunders on Saturday. With his team up a man and leading 1-0 with only minutes left in the game, the three points were practically guaranteed.
Then disaster struck.
Karim Benzema showed the world why he’s one of the best in the world at the moment with a hat trick at Stamford Bridge to see his side defeat Chelsea 3-1 in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. This was his second hat trick in a row in the Champions League.
Benzema’s third goal was truly bizarre as Chelsea’s star Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy made an unforced, dreadful error the Frenchman capitalized on.
Gabriel “Gaga” Slonina is one of the most exciting prospects in Major League Soccer. Less than a year removed from becoming the youngest starting goalkeeper in league history, the 17-year-old Chicago Fire youth product has already garnered interest from Europe’s elite. According to renowned football reporter Fabrizio Romano, a Gabriel Slonina to Chelsea move was in the works before the London club was hit by UK sanctions over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
No es por andar presumiendo, pero de algún modo sospechaba que el partido entre México y Estados Unidos terminaría empatado 0-0.
There are very few keepers that've ever managed to score a last-minute goal for their side to advance in a cup competition, and the majority of such instances are usually without any proof — they're legendary tales of long-forgotten matches played out across rec-league pitches and inside futsal courts that are passed down through oral tradition.
Ever listen to a pundit or so-called football expert talk about goalkeepers? It's usually pretty evident with their first few sentences that they have no clue what they are talking about.
Their understanding of technique is minimal, and if you hear any mention of saves made, save percentage or any similar stat, you might as well stop listening (or reading).
The tweet below is a perfect example of a stat that seems useful but doesn't reveal much about the quality of a goalkeeper:
Con el boleto al Mundial de Costa Rica en el bolsillo, la Selección de México Femenil Sub 20 soñaba con dar la sorpresa y batir a Estados Unidos en la final del premundial de la Concacaf.
El deseo, sin embargo, duró apenas dos minutos con ocho segundos. Un error tremendo en la salida de la arquera Celeste Espino fue aprovechado por Michelle Cooper, la goleadora y mejor jugadora del torneo, para darle ventaja de camerino al USWNT.
El Club León poca honra le dio a su nombre en la visita que le hizo al Seattle Sounders por los cuartos de final de la Liga de Campeones de la Concacaf.
Sobre el césped del Lumen Field, La Fiera no rugió, no rasguñó ni tampoco intimidó. A cambio entregó una imagen patética, reflejada en una contundente derrota por 3-0 y que definitivamente pudo ser peor, si no hubiera sido por las casi paranormales intervenciones del arquero Rodolfo Cota.
