Nah,not serious.
I am curious though. It looks like all the goalies are 5'10" to maybe 6'1" guys pretty much.
Why does'nt say a 6'6" or so athletic guy play goalie? Seems he could jump up and protect those lob shots better than the shorter guys. Why dont they do that?

Seems he could jump up and protect those lob shots better than the shorter guys. Why dont they do that? Most goalies are in the 6'1 - 6'5" range. I mean you're right it is weird that goalies aren't taller but the average footballer height is 5'8 - 5'11. Soccer is a sport where the taller you are the harder it is to play. If you are like 6'4" you aren't as quick a dribbler as let's say someone 5'8, that's why the taller footballers tend to be defensive backs. I think for goalies since stopping balls with your legs is also a huge part of the game maybe it's harder for a taller person to do that? IDK really, but that's a good point greg. |
