I honestly feel like this ball is coming onto the goalkeepers a lot faster than they feel it is off the foot.
And what you notice with this is Jordan Pickford flies at this ball and he just doesn't, you'll ask why has he gone with his thumb rather than his hand?
It just feels like it's on him.
Now I noticed this with Mbappe against Edouard Mendy earlier in the tournament.
As it leaves his foot, it's a decent strike, of course it is.
But Edouard Mendy's a Champions League winner.
And he just doesn't time.
He just doesn't get his hands up.
He doesn't time it.
And I'm noticing it more and more with the higher balls.
The goalkeepers, these are world-class goalkeepers at World Cup level.
And I think as the tournament goes on and the guys get more used to the atmosphere and the speed of the ball, and these specific World Cup footballs, we're going to see those shots saved.
It's the brain calculation of a goalkeeper.
You see it, you get set, you get your movement in, you fly after the ball.
But as I say in this tournament, they're getting set and they're flying after it.
And it's just not matching up with what they're doing, with what they do daily.
Like I say, there's such, so little margin for error at this level.
