Yeah, that’s a lot of hyperbole going on in the title, but then again, I’ve never quite seen a missed goal like the one featured in the lead video. I’ve never seen a ball just stop at the goal mouth like that. Granted, there was a puddle involved — as well as a perfect example of Newton’s laws of motion in action — but still, even the opposing goalie laughed after such good fortune shined on him and his team.

The good fortune comes from playing on a pitch that allows standing water.

In other news, the Irish could’ve used some of that luck to counter Thierry Henry’s handball. Good luck with the appeal.
