Goalkeeper Throws Ball Into Own Net, Tries To Pretend That He Didn't
The number one rule of being a goalkeeper is DO NOT THROW THE BALL INTO YOUR OWN NET. There are other rules of being a goalkeeper, of course, but that is the main one. It really isn't that complicated or abstract or difficult to understand.
Unless you're this poor guy in the Ethiopian Premier League, that is. He threw the ball into his own net, realized what a horrible blunder he had made and (this is one of the ballsiest things I have ever seen) PRETENDED THAT HE HADN'T JUST THROWN THE BALL INTO HIS OWN NET.

Goalkeeper Sets Unofficial Record For Dumbest Dive Of All Time
Mario Felgueiras is a 31-year-old journeyman goalkeeper. On Sunday, he saved a penalty to help Paços de Ferreira upset first-place Porto 1-0, pulling Os Castores (The Beavers) out of the relegation zone in Liga NOS.

I don’t know why you’d ever employ that tactic, but that’s the highest praise I can bestow on Welbeck.

From strange training drills to incomprehensible attitudes, keepers have so many things that make them unique.
The Worst Miss Of The Year With A Happy Ending
Melbourne Victory midfielder James Troisi had an open goal. He then committed perhaps the worst A-League miss of the century in the Melbourne Derby.
Remember those drills you had as a child, where you had to pass the ball through some cones at varying distances? Troisi apparently never mastered that skill.
Remember taking shots at an open goal to improve accuracy? Troisi apparently struggles with that too.
You know how passing to a stationary target is easier than hitting a moving target? Yeah, Troisi never figured that one out either.
