Obstacle Course

A staple at any athletic skills competition, the obstacle course gives players an opportunity to overcome the elements. Dribbling through a slalom of cones, staying calm through surprise distractions, and finishing with a goal past a keeper would provide for great theater. The standard of time being added if an obstacle is hit, or not passed correctly would also require more focus from the field of players.

Selected competitors:

Giovani Dos Santos

Diego Fagundez

Sebastian Giovinco

Darlington Nagbe

Some of the players that embarrass the most defenders, and drive the attack quickest forward with their skill on the ball.

My predicted winner:

Sebastian Giovinco

Next: No one man should have all that power
