Major League Soccer’s all-star week in Minneapolis was host to a variety of skills competitions. One of the more... unique competitions was the “Goalie War” where two goalies stood face-to-face in front of their nets, mere dozens of yards apart, and peppered each other with throws and free kicks.
For the “football” purists out there, this is a bizarre (perverse even!) manner in demonstrating goalkeeping skill. There has never been an example during live play of a goalkeeper throwing the ball on-target to an opposing goal. These types of throws are usually outlet passes to a teammate after the goalkeeper makes a save from an opposition shot on target.
