Is goalie a meme position?
Yes no one imagines to be a goalie when he's in his room

Hardest position in all sports
Its a strange one because obviously coaching has to start very early on but you cannot guarantee that the child you're coaching will be over 6ft, even if they are a tall kid. And there is really no point in having a keeper who is under 6ft.

>Only requires height as a cut to make it in
>Literally anyone else can make it in, guys like Iker Pajillas claimed that they don't even do any kind of training
>Hardly need to do two saves every ten games to be considered a hero
>Only now they are required to do something as easy as passing to the defenders, which anyone in a game against can do without even training
>As a result they are required to save even less
This comes from the coach of my university team, who was a goalkeeper

Keepers make or break a team. Easily the most important role on the pitch. After watching hours of behind the scenes training footage of keepers for various clubs I developed an even higher respect for them.

This is the position that makes football what it is. Without goalies it would be a different game. It has the most impact of any other position.
Lots of highly rated keepers only look good because they play behind a solid defence. Once you get to the top level there isn't too much difference between each keeper.
For example cech has been exposed hard this season. The only thing he has brought is that he sometimes shouts at koscielny for being an idiot.

No. Most important position on the pitch. Thank G-d for Lloris.
Being goalie is the position for autistic kids whose parents forced them or who just wants to do some team sport.
That said it's also the most important position on the field. Other positions are also important but goalie is the most important one in all sports that have one. Without them it would be a completely different sport.
