Could You Stop The Ball Please?


There has been one problem that I have had with soccer recently, and that problem is the goalie.  Especially over the past few years watching the U.S. soccer team, I have found that goalies rarely take the blame for letting in a goal.  A goalie is always yelling at someone after they save a shot or the ball goes in.  Last time I checked, your job is to save the ball.  How about you get on the field and try playing one of the other positions.  It's not that easy.  I have played with goalies who have tried playing defense or midfield...and the results have not been pretty.  So next time I'm watching a soccer game I would like to see a goalie use some humility.  There is always a first time for everything.
