I catch some shite here because in these threads, I usually say I can to whatever feat is up for debate. I've spent 90% of my life being an athlete and have a great idea of what I can and can't do.

I'm pretty sure there's no way in hell I could be a goalie at the World Cup level for a women's team. I don't think being a goalie is all about seeing a ball screaming at you and going to stop it from finding the back of the net. To be good at it I'd imagine that you HAVE to have the years and years of experience of seeing soccer balls kicked from every angle from every distance. What I'm saying is, we'd all be pretty clueless mentally as to what to expect. Our physicality would only help so much.

Being a goalie seems like a skill that one needs tons of reps and experience with, similar to hitting a baseball.
