Stan Anderson of FC United fame returns to talk about how goalkeeping in MLS has changed since 1996. In 1992, FIFA introduced the back pass rule, which limited goalkeepers from picking up a kicked pass from a teammate. Obviously there’s a heavy emphasis on playing out of the back in today’s game but what did that look in 1996? How did teams attack and what did teams require of their goalkeepers? And finally, what demands are put on a goalkeeper in 2020? Stan and I compare and contrast the two eras and discuss how modern goalkeepers would fair in 1996 and how goalkeepers from 1996 would fair in today’s game.
