Welsh fans will rave about how great Bale is after scoring but anyone could have scored from there seeing as the keeper went the wrong way.

Standard of goalkeeping is either brilliant (Lloris) or abysmal so far.
I don't disagree completely but Bale was banging in those constantly for Spurs, and people would blame a different keeper every time. Have to conclude they're just harder to stop than they look.

Don't know what everybody is moaning about, it was a fair challenge from Skrtel. Come on Slovakia

Quite. And you know that if the forward had as much as leaned on Skrtel, he'd have been waving like crazy.
Poor stuff from the official, unless he's only there for decorative purposes.
Gave a pen against the hosts last night tbf. Dire decision though, no idea how he's missed it.

Hits them where you don't expect him to, basically. That's my simplistic take on it, anyway.

If the ball moves late or unexpectedly then it's extremely difficult to stop because your body position and weight is set on the basis that you expect the ball to behave in a certain way. It's hard to just throw up a right hand if your momentum is taking you left.
