Iker Casillas being some legendary goalkeeper. He has a good case for being one of the most overrated players of all time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He also made the Greatest Save Ever (at the time) when he saved from Robben in the WC Final. Obviously now Martinez has that gong.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I can only assume you have never seen Schmeichel's save against Rapid Vienna in 1996?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don’t mean in terms of the save itself, but a save to win the World Cup is always going to be better than any other save.

Casillas vs Robben. 2010 WC Final
Martinez vs Kolo Muani. 2022 WC Final
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yet Scmiechel's and Bank's saves were much better than both of those.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They were both important saves. But neither were great saves.

Banks' save is the most overrated of all time. It would be much more difficult not to save it.

Good Lord. Possibly the worst take I’ve ever seen on here.

I just checked my definitive list of the Top 50 players of all-time, and Casillas is 21st. He’s also the top ranked Spanish player in history on the list and the No.1 Goalie.

The guy won the World Cup and 2 Euros, and didn’t concede a single goal in the KO stages of any of those tournaments!!

He also made the Greatest Save Ever (at the time) when he saved from Robben in the WC Final. Obviously now Martinez has that gong.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, literally none of that means anything really.

He was a good keeper. He just belongs nowhere near the greats in these discussions.

Ridiculous comment. The Sheff Utd player was a yard out, Seaman had to change direction, dive back, get a strong hand to it and push it away from danger. Far better than Schmeichels.

Hmmm so the best saves of all time just happen to have come for PL teams or the England national team? Rather convenient.

Nah mate. For starters Sheff Utd player was 3 yards out. And his header was one of the weakest I've ever seen. You are letting the ponytail cloud your judgement.

Exactly. They're talking shyite. Greatest ever save was from a Pole vs a Ukrainian.

Dudek vs Shevchenko

Also, the biggest myth in football is Bergkamp was decent.

Massively over rated.

Almost as over rated as Giggs' goal vs Arsenal or Beckham.

biggest myth out there. Bought the world cup would be more accurate

That the league the team you support (and rivals) plays in is the most exciting league in the world. It's not, it's just cos your team (and rivals) plays in it so you are invested in it.

The Anfield being a great atmosphere one is a whopper. They love to go on about it in the TV. Talking up the game. Blast YNWA out over the speakers to make it sound amazing, then little else throughout the match.
