Funny. The line between gamesmanship and cheating is about 15-20cm wide…
Not cheating, your not trying
I am willing to bet a lot of goalies do something like this. Take every advantage.
I didn’t know you could move them
Most goalies do this…. even in U-15 club teams and high school leagues
I’M SURE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED
why don’t they have marsh pegs
It looks like he is literally lining up the rear of the post with the back of the endline, which is where they are supposed to be.
20 cm? That didn’t look like 20 cm
Loo the post moved onto the line. Who cares. Got to get the ball behind the white line.
Goal posts moved maybe an inch

Wouldn’t this also be an advantage for the other goalie when they switch sides?
So my observation is that the crossbar is sagging before he moves the posts, which would suggest that they’re too far apart at the base. When he adjusts the cross bar gets nice and straight. If he pushed them in further than they were supposed to be the crossbar would have bulged up.
Mouth of that goal is gonna end up looking like a damn trapezoid.
Really didn’t look like that gave even the slightest advantage. They barely moved.
There are more videos and pics were it showed that he moved them much more. He said he didn’t know. It was his “ritual”
Not a big deal at all
He moved them to the edge of the line where it should be.
I did this growing up in youth soccer all the time
Goddamn that’s worse than deflate gate
TIL the posts aren’t grounded.
This is a big nothing post
Can’t they paint in hash marks where the posts are supposed to go?
Can’t beatem cheatem
Ah sportsmanship
20 centimeters is a lot. Is it ok if it’s just 15 centimeters? 15 centimeters is a lot right? It’s big right? The biggest you ever had? No wait don’t answer that, I don’t want to know
