bottom line, iker casillas is widely believed to be the best keeper in the world, and tim howard made him look like a child...i think those 2 shots were his only chances at saves, and he missed both of them. meantime, howard saved about 2000 shots on goal
besides casillas, the Spanish National Team is arguably the best international squad the world has seen in the last decade. top to bottom they're stacked with franchise players with only a couple maaaaarginal exceptions, and we beat them today. sure, it took a little luck, but soooooo many big soccer matches over the years have come down to luck, it's a huge part of the sport as a whole, so the win was legit.
and we played some fucking insane siege defense, you can't deny that...i dont know where this team has been for the last couple months, but im glad to see they showed up against egypt and then spain...now it's with no small amount of trepidation that i say bring on brazil...
