You have the right to be happy after your Welsh were rewarded a free pass to the semi finals by the referee, this is understandable.

Not really, football goals are huge and if you can handle the pressure, you're going to score even if the goalie guessed the right way.

I'm not going to go all the way with finding papers and all, but nope. Goalies must not only guess the right side, they need to guess the right height (and technically, also the velocity). I'm not saying a goalie can stop anything, though (I am pretty sure absolutely no goalie in the world could save a perfect shot in the top corner).

Generally, when a goalie ends up making the save, it's a result of a bunch of prediction (which all involve luck - albeit the side can be sucessfully "predicted" with good reading) OR an awful shot by the shooter (and awful shot which may have been a result of uncontrollable factors).

The luck is therefore mostly based on saves goalies make, but let's not forget, as I said, that some misses are due to uncontrollable factors. And some goals might actually be the result of the shot not ending up the way the shooter wanted it to be (ie he did not shoot it the way he planned to), since, you know, the goals are so huge.

I don't even really care about soccerball but while Wales are doing well (and better than England) I'm going to milk every moment of it
