Zeljko Kalac’s Rough Day

By: chris | August 4th, 2008
   

Conceding five goals is rough, real rough. Whiffing on the ball that winds up as the sitter for the third is downright brutal, particularly when the game was televised for our enjoyment. But it’s the death knell when you’ve dropped this little nugget to the press just days earlier:

“Concerning the role of the keeper, I think that at Milan there are no problems. I have never seen three goalkeepers of this quality in one squad.”

Sure, Z…so who wants to bet in about 2 weeks Milan announces they’ve signed a new keeper?

    Was that the same crap keeper who almost single handedly cost Austraila a spot in the round of 16 in the comedy classic WC06 2-2 AUS-CRO match?
  • i cant believe they didnt sign Amelia when he became available, sad sad, maybe even Ochoa??? oh well. please deal soon or even better dida suddenly become 30 again, ah the good old days

    I dont see how you can call Kalac horrible. You clearly did not see any of his last season, which was awesome.
  • Dave
    I actually fell out of my computer chair when this happened during the game . It was just too unexpected and hysterical. Kalac is truly awful.
  • The one in which Kalac couldn't connect with a back pass and allowed Anelka to tap-in was a terrible mistake. Unforgivable maybe, as we may find out soon.

    ask and you shall receive.

    new keeper, but not until next year or unless we get rid of dida and his 4.5 million wages...

    i cant believe we pay some one who got injured on the bench 4.5 million
  • I think maybe it's time he unsubscribed from Paul Robinson's training podcast.

    Kalac is horrible. I remember at the 2006 world cup he made such horrible mistakes against Croatia!!!
  • mele419
    everyone has a bad day. Kalac has been absolutely phenomenal being thrown out there off the bench and becoming our starting keeper.
    Although I wouldn't mind seeing a new perminant keeper..
