sounds like im not the one in la la land. It was a blatant flop any video shows that so i doubt that it would be extended.

Beautiful Beckham FK goal

Preferably they would be playing amateur players that love the game rather than all this professional crap that has dominated since they allowed professionals. Since that basketball "Dream team" thing, and how the sportsmen in the high profile sports are now more or less professional, I find myself watching more and more minority sports in the Olympics. The people who are in it because their chosen sport is their life, not their pay check.
Sorry, I guess this was the wrong thread for that rant!
The 2012 season GPM stat is already higher than in 2011... so does that mean more quality attack or sloppier defending?

Punity said:I know that but again with the 3rd goalie in the back 4 need to step up defense to take off the pressure hes the 3rd goalie for a reason.

Actually as a long time GK myself, I don't think you guys understand the role. Both Keller and Gspring were/are strong communicators, which makes a back line better. A Gk has a view of the field that no other player has, and it is their job to communicate to the back four so they can coordinate defensively. Both reserve GKers so far seem far too polite, they don't call the defense.
So while the back four can step it up, without good communication, it is far too difficult.
A GKer is your defensive link to all other players. He sees everything as all the play is in front of him.
I'm assuming you guys didn't play in goal much.
But basically, it's the same guys that went 7-1-1, what's different?
Reno_eNVy said:Awesome! Goal-line technology has been given the go-ahead by the IFAB. The MLS commissioner said he'd want to get everything set up by next season.
There are two systems that gained approval. One, called "Hawkeye" relies on six high-speed cameras make a 3D image of exactly where the ball is.
The other, called "GoalRef", will implement a weak magnetic field in/around the goal that gets interrupted if the ball (with a small chip in it) crosses the line completely. The center official is informed of a goal by a special match-watch that lights up and vibrates.
Both technologies give results in less than one second.
Personally I'd prefer GoalRef seeing as it gives a yes-or-no answer instead of position.
