I am not comfortable comparing keepers because a lot of the putative "best" ones I see don't get tested that often. I don't know if Friedel is or isn't in a league with Lloris or Neuer, but given how often he's tested he's looked great when I've watched him. > > Ashley Cole > LOL Look at what your choice for keeper says! :-) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/chelsea/7889391/Iker-Casillas-confident-Chelsea-left-back-Ashley-Cole-will-make-move-to-Real-Madrid.html

Perfectly reasonable opinion, IMO. He had a great season, despite being a degenerate.

I was actually being facetious noting the usual reaction of anglophobes (who are as prevalent as anglophiles) to any praise of anglo players. I have always maintained that Friedel is a total stud, and put him up there with that usual Czechs, Bufoons, and Boxes in the past. But I dont know if this is the season to put in up there. Why wasn't he in the WC squad, btw? > > > > Ashley Cole > > LOL > > Look at what your choice for keeper says! :-) Yeah I saw that and found it amusing. Best LB in the world? I dont know, just France has three who could claim to be better. |
