You're an Arsenal fan aren't you?

Kidding, but I do think Lloris is a good keeper. He is obviously good at leading a team to a 2nd place EPL finish. Everyone has a bad day and Ochoa walked miles off his line against USA as well.

...and yes, I'm a Spurs fan.

I was also kidding - seems like an excellent teaching moment

The Swedish forward deserves a lot of credit for harrassing Lloris, especially at the very end of the game. It seems unusual to have such a mental gaffe by an elite GK, especially since instincts and intelligence seem to be necessary at this level. Obviously a kick over the sideline works. Unfortunately Lloris compounded the issue by failing to loft the ball and allow his teammates to commit enough mayhem to allow him to get back in position.
Just watched the recap...you're right

You're right that you're not an Arsenal fan, or else you wouldn't have stopped talking about Giroud's volley. Beautiful volley, but you're right it was spoiled by Lloris' dumb dribble out play. What was he thinking?
