A point worth making regards to goalkeeping performances at the World Cup, is Australia's Charter technical grounding which has been on show during the games. Andrew Charter has seen few shots behind a stalwart defence in front of him meaning he has little to do, but as a result has to be much more alert and concentrate on the whole game if he is ever called upon, rather than building up a 'rhythm'. And a solid technical base, with the coaching system being put in place for goalkeepers in Oz, has helped him play strongly and make important stops at key times.
As shown against India, he made a great RHP save from a strong technical grounding, as seen at 2:05 playing time.
Pushing out the rebound to safety, whilst 'punching' in with his right hand, turning the wrist to rotate the rhp to make the save, he does more than simply make the save; strongly balanced throughout and pushing in to attack the shot whilst also controlling the redirect to ensure no second chances. As can be seen below:

So to break it down, here are the pointers:
- Attacks the shot with head over the knee
- Attacking angle maintained
- Pushes out with the hand to attack shot
- Turns the glove seamlessly and pushes out in rotation to angle away the ball
- Save eliminates rebound and is ready to push back into a ready stance in position should there be a recovery save needed (as being taught key in the Australian development system)
