    Watched in slow motion you could say that the keeper should have saved Russo's goal but I think that makes light of the skill involved in scoring it.
    Russo had just had a shot saved. She then had the athleticism to hold off a solid shoulder charge, the speed of thought to see an opportunity that barely existed and the ability to execute it.
    The keeper was taken completely by surprise, as was everyone else watching.

    Yes, if you watch this from the camera angle behind the goal it's clear that the keeper was unsighted by the defender and the backheeled shot was through her before she could possibly react.

    Definitely. I think those comments from males blaming the keeper for that goal are just highlighting that they haven't actually played footy themselves. It's similar to strikers taking it early or toe poking it. I can remember a goalie at five aside. Only way we could score past him was to slice it or do the unpredictable.

    I wonder how many people on here have attended a womens football match I know I haven’t but hopefully I will in the future judging by what we have seen in this tournament the standard has risen massively
