I think that having a good forward is BY FAR better than having an ok forward and a good goalie. A good forward can take over a game and dominate on many more levels than a goalie can. I would say that a good forward has a good overall game, offensivly as well as defensively not only on their 5 bar but their 3 bar as well. Foosball is an offensive game, so if you dont have an offense you are gonna lose...
