Vorm is great but this is Al-Habsi vs Krul.

About that, it is common knowledge that Sir Alex wanted Ali at United but due to work permit issues he couldn't join.

Shame really Ali would have been a CL winner and multiple PL medallist while Van Der Sar would have continued a life of mediocrity at Fulham.

I dont agree Vorm has been better, but its alot closer than Al Habsi is LOL

I knew you would use the Talksport thing against me

Highlights Battle Eh?







Debut at 17 was MOTM



Unfortunatly there is'nt a 2011/12 compilation but if there was Al-Shitsi would be eaten alive

Look at you two talking smack over two overrated GKs.

:lol!:

Krul > Al Habsi > Valdes.

I picked Al Habsi, partly because I think he actually might be better, but what put me over the edge is my buying of him for my FIFA 11 team, so I don't know if that's legitimate.

I have seen Krul pull off some absolute stunners this year though, and haven't seen enough of Al Habsi. But from what I watch I think they are pretty close.

That being said...

Krul said he would chose saving his cat over his GF if his house caught fire....

That beauty of a quote makes me reconsider my vote. I love cats.

I can see this one saying...


"why did you pick al habsi? Why?"

Ugh, you two are tearing my heart in half right now. Screw you guys.

Is this thread legit?? Tim is miles better tbh, although Al is a really epic shot stopper but even Gomes is/was so yeah.

the awkward moment when a barca fan calls a goalkeeper over-rated

Lol.. what are you on about? Valdes is perfect for Barcelona. He has helped us win many games.

I wouldn't even take Neuer over him

As if Bayern would let Neuer go after all the hassle to get him...

I hope we can talk about this again after May if there is a positive outcome for Bayern
(Unless APOEL defeats Leverkusen in the final, that is )

Don't forget that Messi (albeit in the Argentine team) got marked out of the game at the WC by Schweinsteiger and no one of the highly rated Argentine attack scored against Neuer. So one never knows ^^

Argentina were almost playing 4-2-4 in that match. It was the worst match i have every seen. 3 or 4 players crowded Messi all match long, and that was it really.

Alright guys, i am just kidding here. Manuel is an awesome goalkeeper of course. One of the best there is currently..

Marked out?

Messi playing in the midfield role that day, was by far their best player. Several times he by passed the german midfield and even the backline yet simply did not end of scoring due to the complete and utter lack of support. The german backline does incite credit for holding them off but keep in mind this was an Argetina lead by a manager who was the epitome of incompetence.

FFS Al-Habsi > Neuer

If Neuer played for Wigan he'd have conceded way more goals than Ali has.

Stop derailing the thread.

Well, I remember what was written in the media before that match - practically everybody thought that the highly rated Argentine attack line would score the hell out of the German team. So having them kept to zero goals was a feat in itself.

1. Neuer played for Schalke behind an abysmal defense and still brought them into the CL semi
2. Sorry about the derailing -_-'

Oh by all means it was a superb feat despite critics overestimating the Argentine potency.

But I only was commenting on Messi's performance.

And ffs LOL-Habsi is better than Neuer.
