Goalkeeping challenge

This could go a variety of directions. Whether it was as basic as facing a set number of penalties, or testing reaction by having your back to the field before getting to turn around at the last second to locate the ball and save it, the keepers would show their class. While offense is the calling card of every American all-star game, or all-star festivity, watching heroic saves is something every fan can enjoy.

Selected competitors:

David Ousted

Bill Hamid

Tim Howard

David Bingham

A mix of two players in their mid twenties, Bingham and Hamid, facing two players in their thirties, Howard and Ousted.

My predicted winner:

David Ousted

Next: Skill can overcome any obstacle
