This Has Got To Be The Best Goalie Save Ever By A Keeper

awesome save! I think he was showboating a little. It looke like he could have easily puched it out with his hands
Not a big soccer fan but the first two clips blew me away. Risky or not that takes some supreme athletic ability.
The first clip is Rene Higuita, the Colombian goalie playing in an International (friendly) vs England about 15 years ago.
The whistle hadn't gone, it was in play!!
It is called a 'Scorpion kick' and is apparently his party piece! After it happened England played with about 8 men for a couple of minutes, as 3 of the players were stood around laughing and pointing!
Higuita got himself into a bit of a mess over his links with the Columbian Cartels in later life + then failed a drug test...
