of course it's possible. i know this guy he's like 4ft12' or 5 ft who's very good in being goalie. a goalie doesn't need height to be a good goalie...a good goalie needs to have speed, fast reflex, good eyesight, strong hands and courage. being taller is just a advantage, but it doesn't makes you a good goalie. some tall people are slow. when a fast ground ball is coming you have to be fast on diving down to save the shot. yea, and if you are taller and it's a one on one(not penalty)the guy shoots the ball and it might go under the legs cos you are tall n go down slower cos of your long legs...

Yea there are goalies that arnt that tall! If they can block the ball, jump, catch and punt well then I see no reason why they shouldnt be a goalie!

Of course! Being a goaltender involves more than just height, but also dexterity and speed and good eye sight! In other words, what good is it if you have a giant who takes 5 seconds to reflex and respond to a shot versus someone who has spring like reflexes!

of course mexico had a short keeper. jorge campos and he was very good. you need to be pushing 6 ft realistically though but never say never
