Possibly the worst two goalkeepers in the history of football. A bit hyperbolic mind from the commentator.
This will land me in huge trouble on here I’m guessing….. but it’s merely an observation….. whenever I’ve seen woman’s football the Goalkeepers are totally garbage….This reminded me of the week I spent coaching a girl at our school who wanted to be a goalkeeper for the school girls' team. It was a great team, but it didn't have a keeper- so it was worth trying.
Nope ... some people don't have the aptitude- it was like this all week ... it started bad, it ended bad.
I've long said it has been their weakest area ... but less so in the last few years.This will land me in huge trouble on here I’m guessing….. but it’s merely an observation….. whenever I’ve seen woman’s football the Goalkeepers are totally garbage….
The americans have a conveyor belt of ladies goal keepers because... they are all introduced to basketball early doors and is a high profile enough sport to be present in the mind to all kids. All about exposure.I've long said it has been their weakest area ... but less so in the last few years.

Also the fact that the netballers tend to be at the taller end of those that play. Filling the net and dealing with set pieces. Interesting question, is a keeper required to do more with hands and arms than feet and legs?You`d have thought that a girl who was outstanding at Netball, would have what it takes to make a good goalie ?
The hand to eye would be there, the catching ability and the ability to judge the flight of the ball.
Well yes... they'd have been ideal except they enjoyed the netball and never asked to play footie. This particular kid had all the enthusiasm and drive in the world - a poster girl for all those motivational posters and sayings .. but I suspect she had never, in her 13 years, played catch . . Not once. And a week's intensive practice made no difference! We both tried... her friends tried... we all failed!You`d have thought that a girl who was outstanding at Netball, would have what it takes to make a good goalie ?
