Goal keepers... That's right. The more they're shot at from far, the more chances they have (if they're good), to extend themselves and catch or deviate the ball. A good (good in virtual football terms) goal keeper is the one that has a defense eager enough to prevent strikers to approach them while offering the midfielders the possibility to shoot several times from far. And missing. To get discouraged.
So many variables, to misquote someone's signature.
I'd bet many national goal keepers facing the English can get a bundle of points, with Gerrard, Lampard, even if Erikson's boys score once or twice.
