Finnegan Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 Does anybody have a good stream? Sopcast seems to be dead... Phew. Glad it's not just me. Obviously I'm gutted I can't get a tidy stream but at least I know it's probably sopcast's problem!
StanSP Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 Casillas is sublime. Proper world-class saves and consistently too. One of the best keepers of the last decade.
Finnegan Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 If you're only looking at the last decade then he's clearly THE best. There's nobody else.
ScouseFox Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 Xavi's passes in the first half, 86 completed. Compared to di Maria, who completed just one pass, and Madrid as a whole, who completed 106. Domination from Barca as per.
Matt Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 Oh here we go, Adebayor blatent foul, Ronaldo sulking (TBF he has all night), gonna turn out like last week now I fear.
StanSP Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 If you're only looking at the last decade then he's clearly THE best. There's nobody else. Van Der Sar comes to mind but I would prefer Casillas in my team.
Matt Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 Van Der Sar comes to mind but I would prefer Casillas in my team. Over Ricardo and Weale? Madman.
ScouseFox Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 This is gonna end in a massive scrap, Barca are taking the piss out of Real, who have gone mardy basically, hacking anyone who goes past them.
Finnegan Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 Van Der Sar? Last decade? No chance. He's quality but he's been beyond his best for years.
StanSP Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 Over Ricardo and Weale? Madman. Only just. And Finners, he's been past his best for past 2-3 years, but that doesn't make him worse off than a lot of other keepers. He'd be first-choice in a lot of squads around Europe.
Finnegan Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 Only just. And Finners, he's been past his best for past 2-3 years, but that doesn't make him worse off than a lot of other keepers. He'd be first-choice in a lot of squads around Europe. Yes but that doesn't make him THE best. In his prime he probably was the best in the world, but these days you have Lloris, Akinfeev, Riena, Buffon and co' who I'd probably all pick ahead of Van der Sar. Casillas is better than all of them.
ScouseFox Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 Congrats to Barca, and great to see Abidal back. But seriously, Mourinho got this whole tie horrifically wrong. Tonight, against a stronger Barcelona team, away from home, Real attacked and got a draw. Imagine if he'd shown even just an ounce of attacking intent at home, they could've won this. Glad to see 11 men on each side at the finish as well, although Carvalho/Alonso tried their hardest to make it impossible. Barca/United it looks like then, should be fun.
Father Ted Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 Yes but that doesn't make him THE best. In his prime he probably was the best in the world, but these days you have Lloris, Akinfeev, Riena, Buffon and co' who I'd probably all pick ahead of Van der Sar. Casillas is better than all of them. I honestly cannot see how you can pick any of them bar akinfeev imo ahead of van Der sar. And youre saying van Der sar is past it then you mention buffon I hope man utd muller the diving pussy *****.
StanSP Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 Loving the reception Abidal got. Pure respect. Great to see him back playing.
The Doctor Posted 3 May 2011 Posted 3 May 2011 no doubt mourinho will whine about being cheated out of it by the ref - although he does have a bit of a case this time, there is no way the madrid goal at the start of the second should have been disallowed. Some of the play-acting was disgusting as well, paticularly mascherano down in the corner after diarra's challenge - diarra made no contact what so ever and the ***** gone down and gone over the top with his writhing - i wouldn't be that pertubed if scholes was to ****ing ruin him & busquets in the final (presuming manure beat schalke). edit: and Ted - lloris, reina and buffon are all better than van der sar - vds was a good player but he is past it now.
Haydos Posted 4 May 2011 Posted 4 May 2011 I've said it once, I'll say it a million times, Mascherano and Busquets are the snidest, most pathetic cheating ***** I've ever seen.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 4 May 2011 Posted 4 May 2011 Yes but that doesn't make him THE best. In his prime he probably was the best in the world, but these days you have Lloris, Akinfeev, Riena, Buffon and co' who I'd probably all pick ahead of Van der Sar. Casillas is better than all of them. Agree with everything but Lloris is a very overated keeper he loves a good fumble and flap at a cross. Man U (unless a miracle occurs) and Barca i like both teams and would prefer an English team to win it but i do like Barca a lot so might go for them. Either way should be a cracking game.
Finnegan Posted 4 May 2011 Posted 4 May 2011 I honestly cannot see how you can pick any of them bar akinfeev imo ahead of van Der sar. And youre saying van Der sar is past it then you mention buffon I hope man utd muller the diving pussy *****. Buffon might not be mid-twenties, but nor does he require a zimmer frame to make it on to the pitch.
