Picking The 23: Goalkeepers

March 28th, 2006 | By: Daryl | 16 Comments »

Bruce’s final deadline for picking the 23 is May 15th, so let’s send him a little help from World Cup Blog.

One position at a time we’re going to pick a final roster between us. To make things easy we’re going with:

3 Goalkeepers
8 Defenders
8 Mids
4 Forwards

We’re going to start with keepers, which should be easy. Leave a comment to nominate a keeper.

UPDATE: Kasey Keller, Marcus Hahnemann and Tim Howard have been selected as the 3 keepers, and all in less than ten minutes (though Howard’s getting some stick for his lack of playing time). I’m guessing the defenders will be a little harder to choose…

Duh, Kasey is the man. He is a brick wall. Go USA!

Alright. One keeper down, two to go.

I don’t think there’s any suspense about the 3 GK: Keller, Howard, and Hannemann. Really, the only question here is who is the #2 GK?

Unless anyone has any objections we’ll go with the expected trio of Keller/Howard/Hahnemann.

Aside from who is #2 (I say Hahnemann as he’s in great form while Howard has an ass full of splinters) the only other question is who comes in if one of these 3 gets injured?

Matt Reis. He seemed to have a great season last year.
