This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Interesting right after Lloris all-time howler by SixShutouts66

Even good/great players can cost team games. Last weekend in WC qualifier on the last play of added time with the score drawn 1-1 against Sweden, Lloris received a back pass and dribbled way from the goalie box and kicked a weak pass to midfield. Got to watch the Swedish player kick the ball in from the center line while he was about 50 yards away from his goal.

I thought only England goalkeepers were this caliber (perhaps Lloris' time at Tottenham infected him). On par with Paul Robinson kicking and missing a back pass that went into his goal or Robert Greene's howler agau=inst the US in tghe last WC (1-1 draw).
