Speaking of keepers, I have a good one for you involving one of the kids named in this thread. A few years back, watched him in an R3PL match. The opposing team scored a couple of goals, and one kid was talking trash. The keep replied: "Hey, I'm on the national team." A few minutes later, after scoring his THIRD goal, the same kid walked by the keeper, and said: "I just scored a hat trick on the national team keeper."
Moral of story: Even the best keepers rely on their teammates for coverage and support. The question here is, who's the best keeper? Not who plays for what team, or wins how many games.




First of all... your story is false. I too have heard the story and spoken with the young man. He did not say "I am on the national team". Another member of his team did after a great amount of trash talking between the two teams.

Secondly... What does this have to do with being the best keeper in the state?



I don't know if you read his "moral of the story" but in others word of how I understood it, but the keeper doesn't nesscariary(sp) have to be the best skill wise, but be one of the best at controlling his defense and working as a team.
