Even if you have zero interest in sports, take a moment to appreciate the incredible athleticism in this goalkeeping effort from Friday’s match between Colombia and Argentina.
That’s David Ospina in goal for Colombia, stopping shots from Argentina’s Sergio Aguero and then Lionel Messi.
A few things to note here. First, keep your eye on the keeper as he sprawls full out to stop the first shot, then somehow gets to his feet to lunge and stop the second shot.
Next, keep your eye on Aguero. He makes the first shot, then watches in disbelief as Ospina somehow stops Messi’s header.
This is an incredible display of athleticism, perfectly showcased as a Vine.
A side note: When I first saw this, I posted this tweet, but misspelled Colombia as Columbia. Interestingly, the moment I hit send, I got this reply tweet:
@davemark I think you mean “Colombian”
So smart. And effective. I deleted my original tweet, then fixed my typo, retweeted.
Nitpick bot: I think you mean “Amazing save”, as there was no goal, and that’s what makes it amazing.
Being from Oregon, I understand. After my 10 days in Colomiba I was totally flummoxed with having to fix so many typos in so many of my 5,500 photos’ metadata. Thank goodness for Applescript!
Another fun twitter bot is @stealthmountain, which corrects you if you post “sneak peak”. So great.
Absolutely. Thanks for the nit pick. Fixed.
