Being a keeper is really fricking hard. Plenty of top high school keepers could hold their own, but if you aren't familiar with it, you will have no chance. Routine saves are tough. You see it when goalies get carded when teams are out of substitutions and a field player has to play.


Yea I'm having a hard time understanding how people who claim to have played soccer for much of their lives think that being a superior athlete with little to no experience means you could do well as a keeper against the best women in the world.

I played soccer a ton growing up and I was really good. Goal keeping was absolutely terrifying. Its so much harder than people realize to play goal keeper and I hated doing it. Especially when there is a ton of traffic in the box. The spectacular saves people show where its a diving save on a long hit are the easiest. You see it coming a long ways away and you just have to have the athleticism to get to the shot.
