Keller's not the answer

Just a quick note at halftime of the USA-Paraguay game.

Kasey Keller is not the answer to the US goalkeeping question. He's been getting a lot of playing time here and got a lot in the Hold Cup. I think that's a mistake. We should be trying out some of the other keepers who are playing in MLS or overseas. I leave it to the Ref to know who they are. But my problem with Keller is that he doesn't make that kind of save that energizes his team. Was the goal in the Paraguay game his "fault?" Probably not. But it seems like the type of goal that the Mexican keeper would have saved (based on his performance against Ecuador). And in the Argentina game, Keller was let down by his defense, but he seemed slow off his line and slow to react to the play coming at him.

The Ref, before donning the yellow jersey, played keeper for the local public high school team (not the school he attended -- see this one), so he may have a different or more nuanced appreciation for the challenges playing that position. But I think we need a change between the nets.
