Neuer winning this is a disrespectful act to Courtois . The belgian was by far the best GK last season at club level. Neither at the WC was Neuer the best. Ochoa and Keylor had better tournaments. His best season to date is still his last with Schalke

You know that of course as you watched Schalke closely that year Laughing

So much nonsense lol, Neuer has just as much a claim as Courtois does.

And the idea that anyone was better at the WC is funny.

I know I did................. Neutral

Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me to see Neuer sweep this easily.

He got the "Pirlo Euro 2012" ass-licking at the WC by the media.

@Valkyrja

In what respect do you think Thibaut Courtois is better than Manuel Neuer? Opening play and getting the balls to his colleagues? Save percentage? Goals conceded? Outstanding saves? What else?

don't mind Valkyria RWO, it's his usual unmotivated anti Neuer nonsense, and that "Schalke last season" talking point is his masterpiece of braindead *bleep*-wittery.

Neuer would win this whether anyone thinks he deserves it or not (he damn well deserves it). Whether you think there were other keepers who performed just as good (probably) and whether you watched Schalke or not.

And when he collects his award and everyone is lyrical waxing him and he talks about whatever he needs to talk about, I would always remember him being rooted to the spot by the player who couldn't get pass a one man wall.

Best keeper in the world Proud

won't be long until I put you on ignore Doc Mad

anyway, you can call Courtois the best keeper in the world for all I care, great player, just don't come at me with this "Neuer's best season was at Schalke" nonsense Laughing
