Good goal, bad goal

Sir, – Well done to our soccer team for a fighting result on Tuesday last. It was interesting to hear some of the pundits declare that the Serbian goal was ”a bad goal to give away” because it came from a set-piece. A near-post flick header from a corner kick. I seem to recall a very similar goal for us in our game against Portugal, which was a near-post header from a corner kick.

This was a “wonder score” , according to our pundit friends. Consistency? – Yours, etc,
