Conversely, there's no such thing as parking the bus in hockey. A team can't just put all five guys behind the blue line and hope to hang on for dear life, and then hope when the opportunity to counter comes they score on their one or two chances. A goalie doesn't necessarily have to stand on his head for a 1-0 win in soccer, as we saw with Morocco they just need to be resolute defensively. Both Spain and Portugal created very little in the way of scoring chances, it's not like the goalie produced a masterclass or anything.

Hockey is a bit different because a goalie legitimately can win an entire series, or even a Cup, on his own. There's really no other team sport where that happens.
