At this point, Weidenfeller is better than MAtS. Weidenfeller is really good and I hate him a lot.

I hate talking about which keeper is better than the other, though.

There are just so many serviceable keepers and the 'best' ones typically profit from a great defense. Different positional nuances that I don't really know much about for keepers either.

it's like baseball defense, but even more divisive. you know a great one when you see them, but after you drop from the upper echelon, things get pretty hazy.

Forgot to include Weidenfeller because he looks like he should be wearing glasses but he doesn't, so I hate him.

You can see the whole field and so can see all options available to the keeper, where as on tv you can't always.


As for Casillas my best friend is from Madrid and a die hard Madrid fan..still deluding himself into think it will all be okay and Iker is guaranteed to start starting again.
A small snippet:
Me: so...another manager not picking casillas

Him: He Will i know he Will! He has too!

Why does no one consider my man Roman Weidenfeller a top class keeper? Dude is tremendous and deserves to AT LEAST be the back up to Manuel Neuer on the national team.
