Amazing saves and a bit of Twitter bot help

Even if you have zero interest in sports, take a moment to appreciate the incredible athleticism in this goalkeeping effort from Friday’s match between Colombia and Argentina.

That’s David Ospina in goal for Colombia, stopping shots from Argentina’s Sergio Aguero and then Lionel Messi.

A few things to note here. First, keep your eye on the keeper as he sprawls full out to stop the first shot, then somehow gets to his feet to lunge and stop the second shot.

Next, keep your eye on Aguero. He makes the first shot, then watches in disbelief as Ospina somehow stops Messi’s header.

This is an incredible display of athleticism, perfectly showcased as a Vine.

A side note: When I first saw this, I posted this tweet, but misspelled Colombia as Columbia. Interestingly, the moment I hit send, I got this reply tweet:

@davemark I think you mean “Colombian”

So smart. And effective. I deleted my original tweet, then fixed my typo, retweeted.
