Goalkeeper Bloopers.

Here we go again. Goalkeeper bloopers.

You cannnot have a complete World Cup without some goalie bloopers. Clearly the tradition is alive and well.

You have the regular Englishman who keeps up the proud English tradition of goalkeepers with butter fingers. England's first choice Robert Green isn't the first. Remember David Seaman? How about Paul Robinson, Scott Carson and David James? There must be something wrong with the goalkeeping academies of England. They should take a leaf out of Italian and Spanish goalkeeping academies (think Buffon, Toldo, Casillas, Valdes, Reina).

Alas, the pitiful Algerian keeper gave Slovenia a 1-0 win with his rendition of "Robert Green's finest moment".

So there you have it, the first bit of evidence that the World Cup is truly under way after all the hoorah of the opening ceremony and South Africa's massive display before the world.

Here is to more bloopers, more drama and more upsets !! Cheers !!
