^rofl ahahah
casillas doesnt seem to get recognition now maybe coz real madrid aint performing that well defensively.

during their peak , casillas is regarded as one of the best in the world

Casillas and Given looks so good because their back four not very good defensively. They have to the job week in week out because of that. And they also look so good because of their size. They're not too tall compare to the like of Cech or VDS. Small size keeper looks nice when they make a save because they have to stretch and dive acrobatically. While the giant size goal keeper rarely stretch.

Up until today, I'm probably the only person I know that is wondering how Barthez was nominated goalkeeper of the tournament back then. I have always had a fascination for goalkeepers and pay particular attention to them. I remember Barthez playing behind an excellent back four and the only reason I can imagine he won the accolade, was because he conceded the least amount of goals, if I remember correctly. Much of it though was down to the defenders. I mean no offence to Man Utd supporters, but I've always thought of him as just an average goalkeeper. Well maybe a little above average, but definitely overrated by many. That's just my opinion.
