What a great graphic!

Chris Waddle's must be the high one over the left hand post?

A couple of feet or higher straight down the middle looks a good bet to me.

Would be interesting if they could be identified by nationality too.

Surprising how keepers seem to be better at getting over to their left than their right.

It's a more natural movement to push off your stronger foot. Ie predominantly they'll be right footed so will dive better to their left.

Good point, I was only thinking of right-hand dominance.

The graphic doesn't support that, though. There are only 18 saves to the keeper's left, but 20 saves to the keeper's right.

But the saves are concentrated closer to the keeper's left-hand post than the right-hand post. I meant I was surprised at how they seemed to get across the goal better to their left (to which hans kraay offered a good explanation).
