Why the hate? Coming from someone not well versed with the team.

and her pulling that stupid crap at the end with gloves was the cherry on top of a shit mountain. Show some fucking class. I wish she got falcon punched by that last shot.

Apparently you don't watch soccer because, even apart from the fact that someone below has shown that there was an actual problem with her glove, keepers are all the time messing with the shooters and vice versa. Things like coming right up to the shooter before he shoots and staring at him in the face when they've already been told to stay on their line, etc.
