Euro 2008 Final v Germany, 0 goals conceded
2010 World Cup Final v Holland, 0 goals conceded

In both of Spain's Euro and World Cup wins Casillas did not concede a single goal outside of the group stages

68 clean sheets for Spain in 125 games, leading Spain and International records

582 games for Real Madrid, 6th highest in Real Madrid history.
Is also Real Madrid's most capped goalkeeper of all time.

Only 3rd ever goalkeeper/captain to lead his team to a World Cup, following greats Combi and Zoff.

Only goalkeeper/captain to lead his team to both the Euro's and World Cup titles and only goalkeeper/captain to lead his team to a Euro win

Holds the record for least amount of goals conceded by a winning team at a World Cup (with both Buffon and Barthez)

Has won 14 titles in 12 years since his professional debut

Has made the UEFA Team of the Year on 4 separate occasions: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010
The FIFA/FIFPro World's best goalkeeper on 3 separate occasions: 2008, 2009, 2010
The FIFA World IX on 3 separate occasions: 2008, 2009, 2010

As well as the World Cup 2010 Golden Gloves and All Star Team; The Zamora Trophy in 2007-2008; and the FIFA.com team of the year in 2008

Holds the Spanish record with Reina for longest time without conceding a goal at International level: 710 minutes

Has 8 clean sheets in the World Cup Finals, only 2 more to equal the current record and 3 more to beat it, considering he is only 30 he should still be Spain's first choice come 2014

Has a current streak of 411 minutes (still going) without conceding a goal in a World Cup Finals. The current record is 517 minutes, so Casillas has a chance again to break this in 2014.

One of his saves during the quarterfinals versus South Korea during the 2002 FIFA World Cup was rated by FIFA as one of the top 10 saves of all time

I'll add more as I think of them

It's official, everytime Casillas enters a final he wins

Just shows that once Casillas is in his godmode he is unstoppable. His reflexes are the best I've ever seen. I wonder if Real Madrid will ever see a goalkeeper as great again....

IMO, his greatest ever save was against Robben in the WC final. I know he has had more spectacular ones, but that goal would have definately won Netherlands the WC. That save changed history.

lets not forget that the reason for 50 to 60 and above percent of the clean sheets themselves are due to the good defense his team has provided.

being the great goalkeeper that he is, makes the numbers only better for his team.

And people constantly show videos of him blundering when we're 6-0 up against minion teams in the league...

FFS, when it's an important match, he'll always enter god- mode and live up to his mantle as second best goalie in the past 25 years.

FYI, I reckon he will surpass Buffon's career after the next WC. Once the 2012 Euros are over and the 2014 World Cup is over and Spain does exceptionally well in both tourneys, then Casillas has a strong case of being a top 3 goalie of all time.

i think hes best based on trohpies already.

Best Player we have ever produced.I just cant imagine a goal with out casillas infront of it now.

We've been lucky to have so great keepers play for us.

Zamora, Buyo, hell even Igllner was awesome when he played for us.

Iker could very well be the best GK we've ever had.

i'll leave this right here
