That shiat will get you killed in Columbia.

Accidentally scoring for the other team, that is. I think greenlighting and retracting a thread is legal globally. I think.

I firmly believe you could take a random NFL safety or random NBA small forward, and they would be immediately be one of the best keepers in soccer.

How is it that every keeper is slow AND can't jump ?
WTF ?

It's not fair. I made a perfectly witty comment about a Kock getting some cock and now it's gone. :(

But you're still here - which is a good thing ;-)

You really underestimate the size of the goal and the speed of the ball. Almost all keepers are tall and lengthy enough to cover the entire span of the goal, but need to decide in an instant where a ball might end up.

In this clip, the keeper had no chance. He came out of the net to cut off angles/passes and had no way to predict that his own player would send a lob perfectly into the corner of the net. That is the lowest save percentage shot in soccer. Always go for the top corner.

No, I've stepped in and played, and was amazed at how SHORT the top bar is.
It was silly easy for me to either catch or tip away the floating high kicks.

That being said, I did quickly recognize that at a minimum velocity, some corner shots are impossible to get a hand on.

Erm, how tall are you?

"The inner edges of the posts must be 7.32 m (8 yds) apart, and the lower edge of the crossbar must be 2.44 m (8 feet) above the ground."

I'm not about to claim I can stop any ball that's not blasted top corner, but if you can't reach up and touch the cross bar, you're gonna have a tough time being a GK. I'm 6'0" in the morning, with a similar wingspan, so my reach is 8' above the ground. They key to his claim is 'floating'. That way, there's time to position yourself beneath the ball, so you can still reach the bar. When you have to stop a ball just below the bar that's also 3 yards to your side, you're farked.
