Soccer's 2008 Resolution? Keep Quiet

Submitted by Will, Jan 4, 2008 13:52

Is it not a goalkeeper's job to organize his defense? Isn't that one of the most important things that a goalie does? And as for this "not a real soccer player" garbage, how do you propose the game should be played? You know... maybe it would be more exciting without goalies! We could watch players chip the ball in from all over the field! Oh, that would be awesome! Or maybe not.
