Top 100 American Goalkeepers (May 2014)

Cover photo belongs to Philly Soccer Page

Goalkeeper spotlight is on John McCarthy this month. I interviewed McCarthy about the upcoming MLS draft back in January. Although he went undrafted, McCarthy was signed by the Rochester Rhinos (USL Pro). Recently he has fought up the depth chart to capture the number one spot and earned two back-to-back shutouts in his two starts. McCarthy and the Rhinos play tonight (Friday, May 2nd) at Richmond.

There was a good deal of movement in this month's top hundo. A quick roundup of where some notable goalkeepers stand.

• The US Open Cup starts on the seventh. This is a great chance for young, aspiring goalkeepers. McCarthy and other college players played for several PDL teams last year and we should see that again.
• Both Tim Howard and Brad Guzan stand in the way of Manchester City's hopes of winning the league. Howard and Everton play Man City this Saturday and Guzan and Aston Villas follow up on Wednesday.
• Chris Seitz jumped eight spots to crack the top ten. He has been an excellent fill-in for Raul Fernandez as he is having a slow return from injury.
• Dan Kennedy and Sean Johnson have grown increasingly sloppy with their positioning and technique. (See GSAR stats at bottom of the page.)
• French-American goalkeeper Quentin Westberg helped Luzenac earn a promotion to France's second league. Huge congratulations to him.
• LA Galaxy have been very quiet on Brian Rowe's situation. His form has dipped from last year's and now he is not even making the bench for the reserve squad. Apparently he has been dealing with some back issues.
• I wasn't a huge fan of John Berner when he was drafted this past January but he has done well given the circumstances. Clint Irwin went out with an injury early in the season and Berner found himself starting for Colorado as a rookie. Irwin is now back but Berner is definitely improving in the reserve league.
• If you're in the midwest and uninterested in Sporting Kansas City or FC Dallas, keep an eye on Oklahoma City Energy FC. Awful name, I know, but their goalkeeper is USYNT Jon Kempin. He's on loan from SKC and at 21, he's already starting for a USL Pro side.

Top Drawer Soccer published their top ten collegiate goalkeepers going into this next fall. Since I'm not a subscriber of their content I couldn't see the list :( and my top hundo only holds two collegiate goalkeepers, I wanted to give some face time to the top goalkeepers in the NCAA. Here are my top fifteen (ooooo) collegiate goalkeepers. Some of these goalkeepers on here still have eligibility but are (or would be) fifth years. Those goalkeepers are designated with an asterisk as I'm not 100% they're returning. I know Wall and Richey will be back but but outside of that I'm not positive.

1. Patrick Wall - Notre Dame *
2. Alex Bono - Syracuse
3. Spencer Richey - Washington *
4. Phil Saunders - UMBC *
5. Tom Serratore - Valparaiso *
6. Adam Grinwis - Michigan
7. Omar Zeeni - UC Davis *
8. Tyler Miller - Northwestern
9. Travis Worra - New Hampshire *
10. Brendan Moore - UNC
11. Earl Edwards - UCLA *
12. Oliver Brown - Denver *
13. Paul Blanchette - Loyola Marymount
14. Chris Glodack - Clemson
15. Alex Bolowich - Creighton

Lastly, I've been swapped so don't pay no attention to how behind I am but here is the running for MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, based off of GSAR.

Seitz takes number one with Rimando missing a couple of game. The total GSAR for the season is -8.43 so you could say I've been unimpressed. Hopefully I'll be caught up to date soon.

Nick Rimando vs Mexico (04.02.14)

Wow did that feel like the 2011 Gold Cup final to anyone else?

Nick Rimando started for the US while Sean Johnson and Bill Hamid watched from the bench. It is almost certain that Rimando will be the third string for the World Cup as Klinsmann isn't splitting halves anymore.

For this review, I'm going to include the US's goals against Mexican goalkeeper Moisés Muñoz just so this post will have a little more depth.

15' - Michael Bradley goal (1-0 US)

Before Bradley gets anywhere near the ball, Muñoz is trying to draw a foul by running into Omar Gonzalez and then getting stuck on Chris Wondolowski.

This is pretty dumb. And I'm not just saying that because he's the opposition as I'm clearly an American fan. I'm saying that because he has removed himself from the play and his defense for stopping the goal is hoping for a call from the ref. Omar Gonzalez actually starts moving away from Muñoz when he makes contact on him. Good no call by referee Roberto Moreno. Muñoz needs to focus on saving the ball here.

28' - Chris Wondolowski goal (2-0 US)

Muñoz does a good job of recognizing the danger and unfortunately for Mexico the ball drops in an excellent place for Wondolowski. Check out Muñoz's head check.

It's easy to get tunnel vision on the upcoming cross but Muñoz picks a good time to peek to the middle as it's a couple bounces until Beltran whips it in.

49' - Rafael Marquez goal (2-1 US)

Déjà vu? Poor marking leads to another goal in the Battle of the Rio Grande (patent pending). At first glance, Rimando makes little effort to save the shot but look how far it is from Rimando.

As the ball is crossing the line

Of course we'd always like to see the effort but Rimando would need to know where that shot is going ahead of time to make that save. So we're going to give Rimando a pass there.

53' - Nick Rimando tip over

Tip overs look cool because the goalkeeper goes from stationary to a full extension save but I wouldn't go as far to praise him as Ian Darke did, "a very, very fine save"

Yeah, that's just him doing his job. Nothing to glorify.

61' - Nick Rimando save

A low shot from distance on a counter.

Rimando once again doing his job but slightly more challenging than the previous tip over. He gets low to push it out. But if he were taller...

67' - Alan Pulido goal (Tied 2-2)

A colossal failure on the defense's part. Julian Green heads the ball to Mexico to set up a counter. Kyle Beckerman doesn't follow his man. Nick Rimando makes little or no communication about the transition. Clarence Goodson gets 'megged on the shot. Rimando's stance is too wide to shuffle then dive. Omar Gonzalez isn't paying attention back post. Gonzalez is the easy goat here but I'd blame any of those previous four over Gonzalez. 

But since we're focusing on goalkeepers, let's look at Rimando's footwork. His jump set has his feet far too wide to be able to move to the ball. He has the time to shuffle and then dive but his wide stance removes that opportunity. It's tough to do but that's what needs to be done to get a fingertip on the ball.

Rimando is a good third string goalkeeper for the World Cup and Americans should be excited about his addition in Brazil, even though it is unlikely he'll see the field. This game doesn't exactly highlight his strengths but he is deserving of the spot.

Goalkeepers "Protecting" Themselves

Goalkeeper coaches will often tell their goalkeepers to protect themselves when dealing with crosses. But what exactly does this entail? How can a goalkeeper be more protected than he already is? We have seen countless times where a goalkeeper recklessly flies into a crowd and takes out a number of players, including his own teammates. But if a striker sneezes on a keeper he is called for a foul. So what is he protecting himself from?

The rise of the knee acts as a buffer to steady the goalkeeper mid-flight. If a goalkeeper is hit in the knee, he is still steady enough to make the catch. If he is hit in the chest or arms he could misplay the ball, resorting in a conceded goal. So protection is centered around protecting the goalkeeper from making a mistake. The raised knee will not protect the goalkeeper's safety. Only a careless challenge by the goalkeeper or opposition will endanger one another. If everyone goes up smartly, the risk of injury is minimal. I suppose one could argue that raising your knee would protect you from a maniac rushing in, but that is not only such a rare occasion but it will not save you. If you are to be bulldozed you will be bulldozed.

This past week, Ukraine witnessed a horrible collision in the Dnipro and Dynamo game.

This is not a freak accident. This is careless and extremely dangerous play by the goalkeeper. For those who say this is fair play, albeit incredibly unfortunate, they are ignorant of why a goalkeeper brings up his knee to attack the ball in the air.

If you google image "goalkeeper cross" you will see most of the time a goalkeeper does not raise his knee that high when going for a ball in the air. Bringing up a knee is a luxury that goalkeepers do not often have. Perhaps the ball is moving in the air, the goalkeeper misreads it, maybe he simply does not need to bring it up. On top of that, raising your knee helps you jump vertically. Yes, it helps you jump out, but it is aimed at getting the ball at the highest point in stride.

Bringing your knee up to waist-level is in a very specific situation.

1. The goalkeeper is in a crowd or is about to be challenged in the air for the ball.
2. The goalkeeper is attacking the ball and not looking to punch, but catch the ball. Otherwise his knee would get in the way from getting to the ball first.
3. The goalkeeper has lined up the trajectory with his run and with catch the ball in stride on a forward line. 

Let's revisit the collision.

You can see how out of the way Dnipro goalkeeper Denys Boyko goes to make the collision and how tense the thigh is to drive through Oleg Gusev's head. This has clearly gone past the line of protecting the goalkeeper and becoming a weapon. How could Boyko avoid this? By either twisting his body (preferably to the left) so his knee doesn't his Gusev's head or by not bring his knee up past his belly button. 

A goalkeeper's technique should mimic that of a shinguard. The shinguard not only protects the shin of the person wearing it but the person who is kicking the shin. Obviously we could just wear metal plates and never have to worry about shin-related injuries but then every field player would constantly be breaking their foot on 50-50 challenges. A goalkeeper must protect himself as well as the other twenty-one players on the field.

Imagine if a striker did this to a goalkeeper. There would be outrage and likely paired with more than just a one game ban. Smashing a knee into someone's head is more dangerous than a two footed tackle. The responsibility of protecting the safety of others on the field belongs to everyone, including goalkeepers.

Top 100 American Goalkeepers (April 2014)

The goalkeeping spotlight is on William Yarbrough this month.

Yarbrough (or Yarby, as I'm pushing for) is a 25 year old Mexican-American that you may have heard of by now as a couple of articles have come out over the past years. Club León FC wisely brought Yarby into starting spot slowly. (Looking at you, Philadelphia.) He's extremely quick and athletic but, like any such goalkeeper, being passive and holding the ball is the biggest hurdle to clear. But all things seen so far, he looks like a stellar goalkeeper at twenty-five.

So far he hasn't made any definitive calls on what nation he wants to play for despite appearing on the bench for the U23 Mexican youth team in 2012. Like most dual citizens, I think he'll go where the playing time is.

The USL Pro season kicked off this past weekend and a number of top hundo-gks are on roster with lower level teams. Most of you know of MLS's allegiance with USL Pro and NASL squads. Keep an eye on these goalkeepers:

• Joe Willis - DC United to Richmond Kickers
  • DC seems committed to Willis in the past. I think is a move to keep Willis fresh and getting games under his belt if Hamid were to ever leave.
• David Bingham - San Jose Earthquakes to San Antonio Scorpions
  • Earthquake Starter Jon Busch is getting elderly at thirty-seven and surely running low on his contract, which he renewed in January 2012. Don't be surprised if Bingham is starting for the Goonies in 2015.
• Luis Soffner - New England Revolution to Rochester Rhinos
  • I'm not sure what New England plans with Soffner. Best case scenario, they're bringing him along slowly and I'm completely alright with that. However the Rhinos have three twenty-four year old goalkeepers on their roster, including Soffner.
• Brad Stuver - Columbus Crew to Dayton Dutch Lions
  • Stuver was on the bench for the opener against the Red Bulls reserves but starter Matt Williams looked out of shape. Stuver might make a mid-season push as the number one starter.

Other goalkeeping notes:

• Dallas Jaye and Doug Herrick travelled with Guam to play Aruba in a two leg series. I'm pretty sure Herrick started and sounds like he picked up a red in the second game. Jaye plays at the University of South Florida and Doug Herrick is with the Charlotte Eagles.
• Brian Perk seems to have jumped Brian Rowe in the pecking order at LA. At least for now. Penedo's contract ends in December so we'll see what LAG does for 2015.
• MacMath is playing much better this year than last and is fending off Andre Blake supporters for now.
• Some NCAA products crack the bottom tiers. Patrick Wall (Notre Dame), Alex Bono (Syracuse), and Spencer Richey (Washington) are all entering their fifth year, I'm pretty sure. Keep an eye on them, if that's your thing.
• Joe Nasco seems to be tending to his newborn child or else he'd be starting over John Berner in Colorado. Typical starter, Clint Irwin, is rehabbing a mild injury, from the sound of it.
