an intriguing piece on the ballooning size of goalies

So make the nets bigger and pretty soon you’re going to have 9ft goalies. Is that what you want?

[Doctor_Faustus]

They can end in a tie or a draw, and those are different things!

(That said, nobody expects you to watch test cricket as your first time. Get yourself to a nice, exciting 3 hour T20 match or an ODI, those only last a day)

Now:

I for one would like to see 9ft goalies. Given the length of the names of some of the Finnish goalies you might need someone with a Jersey large enough for all the letters

That info must’ve been after the “5 days” bit.

Yes - some research into other materials might be useful. The rubber compound used is extremely dense - but behaves very consistently in a given temperature range.

My understanding that the puck in hockey and the ball in cricket is very hard for two reasons, the speed/distance and that it can f***ing hurt if played wrong
