Football video: Lyon’s Remy Vercoutre delivers a backpass howler

Goalkeeper is not strictly accurate. How about goalgiver?

To be fair to Lyon goalkeeper Remy Vercoutre, the backpass he receives in this video is a bit on the short side. Sadly his sidefooted pass to an onrushing FC Metz attacker is inch perfect. D’oh!

Nantes’ Remy Mareval hits a top corner beauty

Pick that one out

There was absolutely nothing any goalkeeper could have done about Remy Mareval’s strike for Nantes against Marseille in midweek. In fact, I doubt very much if a defender on the post could have done anything - at least not without having his head knocked off. You could say it was Mareval-ous strike.

I hereby re-name him Mathieu Taylor.
