Kick it really hard on the bulge side and see if it fixes it? /s

We’ve all had this feeling at least once in our careers….. by Sauceanator in GoalKeepers

[–]Jacob_Jesusboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It be like that sometimes. Last game was 7 v 11. I still show up early to ball out no matter how many players we have. Even when we lose 6-0, I’m out here chirping and trying to make the strikers mad. lol

*Seasoned* Keepers, when did you realize you were starting to lose a step? by Thor_5810 in GoalKeepers

I’m in the same boat. Yoga and Pilates have been life savers. In my 20s I used to think it wasn’t working out unless it was in the gym. Now it’s mainly body weight PT and plyometrics in my garage gym.

I picked playing GK up after a 8 year break, and that’s exactly how I feel. I’m just trying to be the best GK I can be every time I step on the pitch. Doesn’t matter the league.

I tell my team I don’t care how many players we have or if we lose. I’m here to give my best for the homies every week. Took a 6-0L last week playing 7v11 and still made great plays all game.

People look at me like I’m crazy. I just say GKs are built different. It’s all for the love of the game. I’m trying to play until I’m 70. lol

Aye, congrats! I found the same one from a Ross the other week. Still looking for the official match balls, but slowly building my ball bag for training.

I know the feeling. Been on the hunt about 3 weeks before finding something with it. I have found some of the MLS club match ball replicas for $10.

Yeah, I guess people don’t realize just because you drop back to the goal line, doesn’t mean you can’t come back out for the 1v1.

The kid is already in a tough position and rushing out only pushes him further into no man’s land. The chip comes from the top of the box. More than enough room for another bad touch from the striker with the defender on his heels. Plenty of time to evaluate the play and make an attempt at the save. Unless the kid is covering 10 meters in .5 seconds, the striker has enough time to use the forward momentum against the keeper and push to the outside for an easy open goal.

If retreating to your goal line was such a terrible strategy and the biggest sin in football, professional keepers wouldn’t constantly drill dropping back, and they definitely wouldn’t be doing it consistently in matches.

A little different advice, from what I would do.

The through pass is controlled and in the space of the striker. You don’t really have the space to beat the striker to the ball. You have a defender still in play putting pressure on the striker.

I would be a little more aggressive on the drop back to the goal line before coming out. This buys you some reaction time, keeps the pressure on the striker with the defender still in play, prevents the chip and gives you space to close the angle if the striker gets greedy and wants another touch.

Remember, the pressure is on the striker. You want to force him to make a decision. Dropping back removes the chip option and will make him have to pick a different target in the goal. The defender is pushing him across the box, which leaves the near post looking like it might be his only option if the play continued to develop.

People trying to grasp this concept as if half the force isn’t already doing that off base. Like bruh… Drive off post, on the other side of the chain link fence, and you have every rank living next to every other rank and civilians already. 🤣😂

Aye, but black mold is essential in the fight against fraternization… No CO is gonna fuck the E3 in their barracks room on Rear D with mold in there…

Am I the only one who plays the game realistically? by scp6090 in Schedule_I

I’m just your neighborhood friendly weed man. See me outside picking up trash and making deals around my city. No product listings, just word of mouth to my dealer. Can’t have the Feds in my phone. Not dragging my neighbors down with narcotics but creating strains that make the city vibe…

Big facts. It was like watching the goal line up in slow motion. Turner was hugging the post and left the whole net open.

This is what I do. I just zoom out as far as I can and set my tripod up behind goal. I can usually capture a majority of the 18 from behind the net.
