 * Oppose The crop is too large with little content. While the Goalie is caught mid-action, he is too small in the frame to be of any interest. Lipton sale (talk) 23:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Not being able to tell who took the shot is a problem. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 23:57, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose It took me a bit of time to find the ball...it's just very busy. Spencer  T♦C 18:35, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose The fact that it is so busy makes it hard to tell the main focus of the shot (presumably the person taking the shot and/or the soccer (excuse me 99% of the world outside of America I mean Football ) ball, also the fans all wearing what I presume is the team color (red) in the background make it very distracting and even harder to easily find the subject at a glance which should be possible in such a photo.

 * Oppose Not sure how this passed at the Commons. No better than a snapshot that most people could take at a game, imo.  crassic ![ talk ] 01:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose A lot of problems with the timing of this shot, the ball is mostly obscured, the crowd have not reacted yet, and the keeper has gone the wrong way so his being in mid dive is really meaningless. Buc (talk) 09:22, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
