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

2008-11-13T07:30:07+00:00

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! Spotted on The Offside

Nancy Keeper Walks the Ball Into His Own Goal

2008-11-07T15:07:01+00:00

Nancy goalkeeper Gennaro Bracigliano will want to forget about this one, from last night's 2-2 draw away to Lech Poznan in the UEFA Cup. Semir Stilic's free kick looked easy enough to deal with.
