I wish this article had more embedded examples. I'm not really a big soccer fan, but this sort of intersection of athletics and game theory are always interesting to see. As a tip, if you are watching a YouTube video, you can use "." and "," to go backwards and forwards by one frame when paused. It lets you see to what degree the goalkeeper is anticipating vs. reacting. The other issue with the article is that it focuses on successful attempts -- it would be very interesting to see what the unsuccessful attempts look like as well to get a feel for how close to a randomized decision matrix the process is.
