Ah! England and their goalkeeping howler. Who can forget David Seaman watching a Ronaldinho free kick, sail over his head in the 2002 World Cup or Robert Green’s moment of shame against the USA in the 2010 edition. To put Joe Hart in this same category is harsh but one would expect a professional keeper of his calibre to have easily save Sigurdson’s shot in the 16th minute.

Although one might argue that Gary Cahill could have obstructed Hart’s view, the shot simply lacked the power to really trouble any top keeper in the world.
