Much like Bigfoot we have had to go into the deep depths trying to figure out our goal keeper. Looking at grainy videos, and trying to figure out what are we actually going to be doing this year at goalkeeper.
I even caught my own self breaking down a 10 second instagram video of a goalkeeper just standing there. I don’t even know if it’s just some intern we hired or an actual goalkeeper we could be signing.
But damn it that goalkeeper looked to have a nice stance in that ten second video.
Now a lot of fans are panicking and looking for solutions. Well, you came to the right place.
Because I have thought of all the answers to fix the problem.
GO EMPTY NET
They do it in hockey all the time! That seems to work a lot! Why can’t we!
Maybe Union Omaha is officially on the forefront of being the change in soccer around the world.
Games would be 10-7 and it would be the most entertaining game in the world. People from around the world would come to Omaha just to bask in the glory that is what we would call it…. “Chaotic Soccer.” No organization. No formation. It would be 22 grown men playing like 10 year olds for 90 mins. Maybe we even go over the top and put them in like a WWE hell in the cell cage. Who knows the possibilities are endless.
Maybe, 20 years from now my kids and I will be watching Chelsea winning the Champions League for the 5th time in 7 years, and I will tell my kids about the long lost art of goalkeeping. Then when I tell them that it all ended in our own backyard they will freak out, read this blog and say “wow dad you’re the coolest.”
I know I am Pierce Jr. I know.
INVINCIBLE
In an old disney movie starring Mark Wahlberg there is a movie about a man from Philadelphia who tries out for the Eagles and actually makes the team.
The Eagles in that movie had a big need on the Special Teams, and they wanted to draw more local fans….. Does this situation sound familiar? Oh it does? Does it sound like Union Omaha and their need for a goal keeper?
Well, when I asked the front office about this possible scenario they sent me back a laughing face emoji.
Which if I remember correctly from my high school flirting days means that while it’s not a yes right now, the door is still open for a fan to try out….. Maybe?
I think Luke still has some bounce in his step? Maybe Patrick Tyler could make some moves? Liam seems to be the best one in shape, but so maybe he’s our starting goalkeeper? I don’t know.
But what I do know is that if you’re reading this…. You may have a chance at being our starting keeper this year.
THEY SIGN A GOALKEEPER
Which is boring, and dumb.
Who Gives A Hoot?
