Olympic goal

He almost scored against St. Louis.

There was the kind of Olimpico attempt from Mendez that bounced to Amundsen and he just missed.

Yeah.

That's the issue that we've had is we don't really have a corner kick specialist in the box for those.

That was the thing that I really sort of noticed.

That and the Olimpico, obviously, because that rocked.

I'm only a tiny bit taller than Tiana Robertson so maybe I would have caught it who knows I wouldn't I would absolutely not have caught that ball no chance um but yeah there's in those situations there's really nothing there's nothing more you can do she could have been taller and still missed it she could have been shorter and made it like it doesn't it doesn't really make much of a difference now um but yeah what a hit what a hit um I think this game was quite well managed by both sides, everything considered.

But yeah, it definitely feels like it's too soon to say much about them, considering the seasons that these teams had last year, if that makes sense.

And then he ran into trouble and tried to dribble like three guys and almost still almost came away with it, but.

And the ensuing corner was almost an Olimpico.

Brady had to kind of scramble and run in and punch it away.

And then he started punching everything up in the air.

And so that moment of apparent indecision, I think loomed large even after the save.

And then I think for the chaos in the box that leads to the, the equalizer at the end of the first half, it's Brady with, I think, a good enough save in traffic on the Olimpico attempt the first time that sets up the subsequent corner.

He then punches that one straight up in the air.

Even that isn't so bad because of the number of bodies in the box.

Hooray.

Don't remember that.

So, uh, to, to be fair, uh, AKA Fish in our YouTube comments saying, "I really did enjoy Chile's Olimpico's only corner strategy." So to be fair to both goalkeepers [laughs] in this game, when the, when the opponents have basically got in the locker room and said, "We don't really fancy any of these goalkeepers.

Just, just have a go every time you can from the corner," it does change the game a little bit, right? At least from set pieces for those goalkeepers.
