Ray Hodgson: 5 keepers would not have saved that.
Christian Vieri: thought the keeper should have done better on the 35 meter strike.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen footage of a camera angle from behind the goal. HOWEVER, having replayed the available footage repeatedly on DVR ... minutes before posting this ... Curci's view was obscured momentarily b/c of the defender's position ... on a disguised shot generated with lots of power and visibly little backlift in real time (in slow motion the backlift is much more evident, but it was a snap strike off of 2 seemingly casual touches). Observe Curci and you'll notice that he's trying to get a visual of the ball ... (look at his hands and his posture) ... by the time the ball was well en route to the back of the net, it was too late for him to adjust. It's very difficult to definitively fault Curci on that strike.
