Let me start off by saying that I’m really excited about the new goalkeepers in FIFA 10. I was so happy when I saw Mandanda falling for Benzema’s fake shot in the FIFA 10 teaser. He didn’t score, but I don’t care, looks sick! Can’t wait to try it out!

With the all new 360 degree dribbling system and more realistic goalkeepers, I imagine the GK can foul you pretty bad. If they come running at you and you fake them out then try to go on either side I bet they’re gonna slide tackle all over the place attempting to get the ball. Usually, when a goalkeeper fouls someone it’s around the goal area and the person was definitely in a good scoring position, so a late challenge by the goalkeeper usually results in a direct sending off…. In real life that is… In FIFA 09, the goalkeepers could do whatever they wanted. They could get booked once, but that’s it. No sending offs… Unrealistic and frustrating at times.

I really hope the GK’s can get sent off in FIFA 10… and I’m sure EA’s already fixed that. If not then, wow… just wow…

Anyway, looking forward to the game and I bet you do to!

EDIT: It's confirmed that the goalkeepers can get sent off. Sorry for not doing proper research about this before posting.

Looking at my post I reilize now that it was very much based on the GK getting sent off... Which wasn't really what my point was. I was just wondering what you guys thought the 1-on-1 situations with the GK would be like. Do you think he'll fall for every move if you time it correctly? Is he gonna play dirty and go for late tackles to stop you from scoring?
