It was the best performance of any goalkeeper this cup IMO.
Granted he did let two in but he had no chance on either. And if you consider the fact that he had about 20 saves before those 2 went in it seems to make it that much better.
Even better. Tim Howard had one of the best goalkeeper performances in World Cup history.
I watched a video of the match's highlights that included all his saves and you guys are right. What a performance. And the most dangerous ones he somehow managed to save with his feet, amazing. HUGE props to him.
We all should forget Casillas. Ochoa, Raïs and Tim Howard are definitely the GKs to look forward now.
And LOL @ those Howard pics! Haha, they are SOOOOOOOOOO accurate!
colombia vs brazil what do you think potto?
I'm really not sure. Brazil's performance these last games were somewhat lame. Our team doesn't seem to have any sort of chemistry at all. When the ball is in our defensive side, the players tend to kick the ball as hard as they can and hope it lands on Neymar or Fred's feet. Either they are afraid to keep passing the ball or they simply can't pass at all for whatever reason.
Now, Colombia? Damn, these guys KNOW how work as a proper team. Looking at their last game's perfomance (specially their second goal) makes you realize how much chemistry those guys have when they are on the pitch.
One thing that I can say, but I'm not really sure as I didn't watch all of Colombia's matches, is that one of our good chances of winning is named "Pablo Armero". As I said, I didn't watch all of their matches, but good Lord that guy was awful when he played for Palmeiras. I don't know how much he improved since then, but if he ever has to face Neymar alone this Friday... The odds will be greatly against him. lol
Of course, our defenders will also have to deal with HAMEZ Rodríguez, and stopping that guy alone will be certainly a great challenge.
I won't be making any predictions, though. This World Cup has been crazy so far, so many unexpected outcomes. But one thing is sure, it'll be hell of an entertaining match to watch.
