Another good article. I was thinking about Howard this past week when the news of Donovan’s goal broke.

The USMNT’s pack-it-in and counter-attack approach has only enjoyed some success due to Howard’s ability to come up big when the defense breaks down. He hasn’t been perfect, but he’s still world class. [...]

So basically their eye-hand coordination gets developed at an early age? I guess I can buy that, but I would think that you’d see great keepers from other countries that play a fair amount of basketball (and to a lesser extent baseball).

From a physical standpoint it makes sense as basketball tweeners or athletic, but not fast individuals would gravitate towards the position in America…and we have a lot of both of those.
