I think just watching the video before anything else is probably a good idea. Here’s the scene: It’s the playoff final to get to the sixth division of Italian football. The teams are Dro and Termeno, and it’s come down to a shootout. What happens?
VIDEO: The Most Unsavable Penalty Kick Ever
Instead of thinking that goalkeeper Dro Loris Angeli is a moron, I’m instead going to imagine that Michael Palma is in fact the best penalty-kick taker ever. I mean, think about it. There is absolutely no way that any goalkeeper in the world doesn’t celebrate after the ball hits the crossbar and bounces out, because it’s almost impossible for the ball to do that. And Palma sold it with the woe is me acting as well. Genius. Oh, and Termeno won, too. Amazing.
