The quarterfinals of the 2018 World Cup was a day marked by the great saves made by the goalkeepers. First, Thibaut Courtois denied Neymar a goal in the final minutes. Now, Jordan Pickford, the goalkeeper of England, prevented the equalizer from Sweden.
At the 46th minute, Sweden created the first scoring opportunity of the match against England. The Swedes took advantage of a throw-in and sent a cross to the head of the forward, Marcus Berg.
The 1.84 cm forward won the position and headed the ball, which seemed impossible to save. But Jordan Pickford was well positioned between the posts and prevented Sweden's first goal.
Jordan Pickford is 24 years old. He plays for Everton and is playing his first World Cup with the England national team. The goalkeeper is waiting for a big club to sign him.
