He only scores against poo poo teams. He always chokes on the big stage. Here's him failing to put away a 1on1 in the biggest game of his career against a goalkeeper who has since been found out as a useless fraud.

I'm fairly certain he scored a few in the World Cup, two against Casillas. Also, later in that 2010 final he was literally pulled to the ground by Puyol with no call.

The third one is drat nice but all of those are finishes in the center of the goal that would have gone in had they been sent in any other direction.

fantastic positioning tho. Yeah the finishes weren't great but they're still tasty saves.

I dunno, the whole fantastic positioning thing never really impresses me. Just like Guillermo Ochoa's "amazing" WC2014 performance where a bunch of balls bounced directly off of his face and he had one good save, it's nothing amazing when a keeper is standing in the correct spot.

that's fair, those saves are rarely flashy and often just plain lucky, but it's an important part of a goalkeeper's game and I think Casillas is good enough to give him the benefit of the doubt when it happens. As an aside, I remember Akinfeev being one hell of a positional keeper during the 2008 Euro, and he showed a lot of promise. I mean, the dude was always just standing where the ball ended up going, and you could see it wasn't coincidental. Of course, the problem with him was that he never developed anything else beyond that and since positioning is sufficient only against lovely strikers (which in Russia is most anyone not in CSKA or Zenit), he's now a keeper with great sense and even greater wasted potential.

Yeah the thing about Ochoa's WC performance was that all his "great" saves were off corners or Robben breakaways where there's only one possible place a non-idiot GK would stand. Wooo hoo.

The stuff like Iker getting back across goal to stop the shot after that dragged cross is at least impressive, even if the finish in that case was a bit generous.

It's nothing special compared to some of the wonders posted in this thread but I always liked De Geas save vs Mata:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4lrjYb-y68

It came at a crucial time both in the game (93rd minute, tied at 3-3) and in the season and you could almost tell on Matas face that he was ready to give up after taking close to the perfect free kick.

Speaking of that, to me, this is the most unsaveable (is that a word?) free kick of all time as far as I'm concerned:
