Among the 11 players in a soccer team, the goalkeeper is as important as the forwards or midfielder. A top keeper is only as good as the last line of defence in front go goal. If the centre-backs are cohesive and positionally excellent, a goalie’s job is always much easier than a disorganized defence line. At the same time, a top goalie can always instill great confidence to the entire team. Though the chance of a goalie getting injured is rather slim, it is always a prime concern to the coach whenever the goalie gets injured seriously. In this video, the Espanyol’s goalie is lucky as she escaped serious injury to her foot while jumping for the ball. Her U.S. counterpart, however, is not as lucky as a rolled ankle crippled her. Both became unsung heroes of their respective teams.
