I would have thought a heavier sturdier boot would be more practical for keepers, given the amount of heavy kicking upfield, rather than a lightweight fancy-pantsy ballerinas slip-on that strikers wear.

I reckon technique rather than boot choice would be the biggest gactor in kicking the ball long disctance.

the more you frustrate someone the worse they continue to get! especialy the bubbles

Bet you whinge to the ref and look for a yellow card when you get caught in a late tackle after all that needling!

bet i do! i whinge all the time!and i do my best to get animals who take out anyone late booked.there is plenty of room for hardness on a football field but no room for late tackles. i would love to see how you play football

nothing justifys hitting a keeper late, even if he's yelled a little abuse at you to distract you......in the lower grades keepers get no protection at all..

No, we'd be better without a keeper... I'm a rubbish outfield player. A disgrace as a keeper.

Keepers are the best

Id rather play in barefeet but then you can do more damage with studs in the face.

Btw, indoor goalkeeping is awesome.

2. Both from the spot. If we were winning by at least 3 goals and no one was on a hat trick, I got to take penalties.DKP222008-04-08 22:08:46

How much will you be paying for them? go to www.prodirectsoccer.com . I guarantee you'll find much better gloves for half the price you pay here. I have never tried Nike gloves, prefer mine to be made by goalkeeper specialist brands e.g. Sells, Selsport, Ho etc. Mind you, I see many professionals wearing those so they must be alright.

Agree with you Radioman on both points. Sells are by far the best glove brand.

And yes, Fingersaves are pointless. They restrict hand movements and just snap as soon as the ball hits your fingertips.
