Did that US defender duck on the set piece goal?

The US vs Italy game on right now. The one-man wall. To me, on slow replay, it looked like the defender ducked his head to allow the goal to happen.

Oh yeah, I didn't mean on purpose. But it looked like he instinctively moved his head out of the way of the ball. If he stayed strong, likely would have deflected the cross away.

no, it's cause he's chicken, not to let the ball go in on purpose. he just didn't want to get hit with the ball
