Goalkeepers dive right when pressure's on
New research by psychologists at the University of Amsterdam suggests that goalkeepers are biased

The study found that during penalty shootouts, goalies will dive to the right side 71 percent of
the time when their team is down, but not when they're tied or ahead.
