Turkey Vs. Czech Rep.

[Ian]

One of the best matches I have ever seen.

 

Great goal to win it but bad mistake from Cech for Turkeys second.

aye thats why i think that the best goalkeeper in the world is in fact gigi buffon.

Agreed, and I read a post-match column this afternoon where the writer said the same thing.

 

Quote: "If we’re talking best goalkeepers in the world, I’ll take Gigi Buffon and Edwin van der Sar over Petr Cech. What matters most is how you play when the pressure is on, and while it’s hard not to feel badly for Cech, he really screwed up by handing the Turks an opportunity at the equalizer. Contrast that with: 1) Buffon, who saved Italy on numerous occasions against Romania, not least when he stoned Adrian Mutu’s late penalty kick, 2) Van Der Sar, who came up huge in the Champions League final shootout and has been sterling for Holland so far."

 

I'd maybe throw Iker Casillas into that mix too, but his point is well taken.

the big dutch man imo, class van der sarr

[Josh Berno]

Cech is still young though... whereas Van Der Sarr an Buffon are old. Still better IMO like but... Great match not one of the best I've seen like but excellent match! Great finishing by that guy who scored. Thats how you finish.
