How modern keepers play. High defensive line, he's there to intercept the ball if the pass to the goal scorer is overhit. I am never a fan of this tactic, but everyone does it
I doubt he's expecting to be inch perfect lobbed from 50 yards, mind.
Alfie summed up the game pretty well. Felt like Scotland had a few chances and then that knocked the wind out them. The QPR lad, Dykes, had a shocker...his opposite number scored one of the best goals ever in tournament football.
Made all the difference
