Howler Files: The Gods Are Cruel.

By: chris | June 29th, 2009

We’ve seen this so often. Goalkeeper does the “smart” thing by aiming to prevent conceding a corner kick and in the process wind up conceding something so much worse. In this case, Yokohama Marinos keeper Hiroki Iikura is especially generous, ushering in Gamba Osaka’s goal with a free ball and the appropriate arm motion. Hashimoto Hideo thanks him graciously with a shit-eatin’ grin.

And of course you know how the story goes: Iikura conceded a silly, silly goal, Yokohama Marinos lose 2-1. Let this be a lesson to the young’uns: the football gods give no quarter to brain lapses.
