Sensing a goal?

[Dimples]

I am not much good at sensing goals for us.

I am excellent at sensing penalties though.
Particularly when I watch an MU match, at Old Trafford, whenever MU are in trouble....
Also good at sensing penalties for Spurs (and offside goals to)....

Remember the Aguero QPR goal? All 50,000 fans saw that goal coming in the final moments, 2 times with every fan shouting "go on........GO ONNN........YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Everyone could see the chance developing my the mini-second.

Received the ball & controlled in threatening position "go on"
Stays on his feet when dirty fucker tried to bring him down, free on goal, 6 yards out "go on"
Anyone not stood up in the crowd, is now stood up
Pulls the trigger - Glory

I think when you've watched/played football for a long time (or other ball sports) your brain gets used to calculating outcomes and trajectories and angles so you see the possibility of a goal and as the possibility plays itself out the anticipation grows until the ball goes in or the chance ends.
