FIFA 2010's 'Realistic' Goal Keepers?

I played FIFA 2010 on the PS3.
After a couple of goals conceded, I am at a loss for words.

Goal keepers commit ridiculous errors!

Are these errors a bug issue with the game? Or this is just a realism issue?

Here are the jokes I encountered.

1. Drop Kicks

My GK won the ball in a crowded penalty box.
The opposing strikers are still around my GK.
To restart play quick, I press the button for a routine drop kick.

To my horror, my GK 'crash' into the opposing striker and the ball fell nicely for him, to tap into an empty box.

Culprit - Iker Casillas

2. Crosses

A cross comes into the box, and my GK allows it to loop right over his head, to land perfectly onto a Striker just beside him to head it in.

A low cross pass by directly in front of my GK, and he did not bother to intercept it.
A striker at the far post taps it in.

Culprit - Almunia

3. Looping Headers

My GK likes to stay out of his line. From just inside the penalty box, a Striker scores with a header that loops over my GK into goal.

Culprit - Iker Casillas

4. Ignoring Own Goals

Finally, I am the one benefiting.
My powerful through pass to my LW was intercepted by a defender with a sliding tackle, way outside the penalty box.
The ball deflected off him and loop slowly into his own goal.
The GK just stood and watch.

Culprit - Cech

Realistic or Stupid?

FIFA 2010 is a realistic game and Almunia tends to make such errors at times.
But Casillas and Cech?

Guess they are just having a bad day during my game.

Overall, FIFA 2010 is a brilliant game.
Playing PES 2010 and FIFA 2010 is like having the best of both worlds.
