Iker Casillas

I am trying to portray to you the difference in their personality, potentials, capabilities....its not just about the videos of kahn's super saves and iker's blunders.

Kahn is a true leader. He is aggressive and uses his aggressiveness to inflict fear in his opponents. A forward was once asked who do you dare most to play against, and his response was Kahn. Whenever i play against him in a one on one situation the goal seems to shrink and I see images of a lion closing in on its prey.  

Spoiler:

Iker on the otherhand invites strikers to score. Everybody hates Bieber and guess what? Iker is a belieber. He's more of a popstar than a GK let alone a legend.

Spoiler:

They say the eyes are the window of the soul, Kahn's eyes and jaw are those of a predetor. He would shred Iker into pieces. There's nothing bad about being nice if you dont mind finishing last.

I didnt just post blunders vs super saves. I rather tried to show the contrasts.

Hard work, ferocity, loyalty dedication

You dont necessarily need a ronaldo or a messi to win trophies.
A team with a class GK and a solid defense can go a long way.
I hope i made myself a little more clear this time.

I'd understand some harsh posts getting Casillas' way after such a game .. but i have to agree with Hans here , the knee jerk has been hilarious .

Ochoa was named Fifa's Man of the Match and had praise heaped upon him after the match from rivals Brazil, including Fred, who told reporters: "He performed four miracles – at the very least.

Horrendous goal keeper.

Mourihno the genius.

Or look at Schalke reaching the CL semi final only thanks to Manuel Neuer in 2010.

And Ochoa yesterday. Kept Mexico's hopes alive all by his own will.

Neuer only performed miracles IN the semi-finals. Where he also conceded 6 over 2 legs regardless. When Schalke scored 5 against Inter in the quarters and he conceded that 50 yard Stankovic goal in the 1st minute it wasn't exactly Neuer's heroices carrying Schalke.

But of course that shall not detract from Casillas being an utter scrub.

huntsman ffs

@Fußball

That Stankovic goal was just bad luck.

the knee jerk reactions produced by this mundial, just laughable

There's nothing kneejerk about it, Iker stank up the WC. Smells so much nicer without him

R.I.P. Iker

as funny as that video is, it's clearly not the same exercise. Keylor jumping on his foot opposite to the cord always. while iker uses his foot closest to the cord.

So you're basically saying Iker has declined mentally as well and forgot how to execute the exercise?

A proper fall from grace if ever there was one (which there was).

far leg or close one. It doesnt really matter; the execution is terrible. One exercise is more difficult than the other but not by much to make it look that way. Besides, its not the exercise itself but the passion and the commitment of doing it.

Iker looks like that one kid back in Secondary school P.E who had no idea what he was doing for the entire 60 minute lesson

Iker has never really trained hard. It never stopped him from being one of the best GK's in history though.

His decline might be more evident now than before but iker has never been a good goalkeeper to start with.

in other news Lopez is unhappy at the treatment he has received and told Madrid directors on the flight back from their pre-season tour of United States this week: "I'm the best goalkeeper at the club and you know it - but do what you like..."

intensity, commitment, and passion not only reflect on you (that's surface level thinking; that's iker and his fanboys) but also reflects on the team and players. Its not just about how good you are (again S level thinking) but how good you can make the team be. How much positive vibe and energy you radiate.

interesting.
