The Algerian goalie just let in a very easy goal that should have been no problem to save. Combined with England's Robert Green's similar - OK, even worse - allowed goal yesterday, it starts to become obvious to me what is happening.
It's of course impossible to believe that goalkeepers at this level are so incompetent as to let in such goals under normal circumstances. I am convinced that the problem is that being told for weeks that the balls used in this World Cup would unpredictably move and swerve in the air, they were just not prepared for shots which went straight at them without deviation.
This now makes everything clear and understandable. It isn't incompetence at all . . . they just don't have the right balls.
