But Claire’s boyfriend was Matt Carpenter. The goalie of the soccer team. And Drew McKay’s best friend. “I might have to work,” she said lamely. Her heart was kicking. “I hear you,” he said. “You said you weren’t working tonight,” said Quinn. “Free and clear, you said.” Becca slapped her water bottle on the table. “Damn it, Quinn.” “Free and clear, huh?” Hunter said.

I would rather serve an Almighty God who acts mysteriously at times, but is in complete control (cf. Job 13:15), rather than a God who never hurts my feelings because he is pathetically impotent or apathetic to his children. I would also prefer to believe that God is always at work for his glory and my good, instead of believing that he only works sometimes, letting bad things happen when he is “on a break,” or that bad things slip by him like a soccer ball past the goalie.

Nothing beats a major league mound, a ten-inch-high Kilimanjaro that few get to climb. Nobody in team sports commands a game like the pitcher. He dictates the pace and controls the tempo. A goalie in hockey or soccer can win a game with superior reaction. A pitcher prevents action. There is great power in that. Earlier

233. Standing All Alone Julia began her job in a secondary school as a counselor and she was keen to help the pupils. One day during break-time she noticed a girl standing all by herself on one side of the playing field while the rest of the children were enjoying a game of soccer at the other end of the field. Julia approached and asked if she was all right. The girl said that she was. Sometime later, however, Julia noticed that the girl was in exactly the same spot, still by herself. Going up to her again, she enquired, 'Would you like me to be your friend?' The girl hesitated, then said, 'Alright,' while looking at Julia with some suspicion.

Action Bias Among Elite Soccer Goalkeepers: The Case of Penalty Kicks’. Thompson reported: The academics analysed 286 penalty kicks and found that 94 per cent of the time the goalies dived to the right or the left – even though the chances of stopping the ball were highest when the goalie stayed in the centre. If that’s true, why do goalies almost always dive off to one side? Because, the academics theorised, the goalies are afraid of looking as if they’re doing nothing – and then missing the ball. Diving to one side, even if it decreases the chance of them catching the ball, makes them appear decisive. ‘They want to show that they’re doing something,’ says Michael Bar-Eli, one of the study’s authors. ‘Otherwise they look helpless, like they don’t know what to do.’16
