I like this line...."Last line of defense, first line of offense." Try playing with out your 11th man, it would be a joke without them!
I say goalkeepers that don't see the ball much during season somtimes get more credit than they should just because their field players keep the ball away from goal most of the time. BUT I'm NOT stripping goalkeepers of their dignity, they deserve credit too. Playoffs is where these keepers that play for absoultely solid teams, who don't see the ball much, can show a lot more of their stuff, since the playing fields begin to level out with each passing round of the playoffs. I am sad to say this, but goalkeepers that are really solid, but play for not so hot teams are often over looked just b/c they get scored on a lot more than solid teams. They fall between the cracks. Keeper wars could do the trick, help better deterimine the best goalkeeper.
( it would be almost nearly impossible to get every goalkeeper in the state to compete in a keeper war, but with the right organization and people, I believe its possible. Note: I didn't say Keeper wars is the best and only way to determine the best keeper, it would HELP better determine answers to who is actually a great keeper )
