Buffon names Casillas as the best goalkeeper of his era


Gianluigi Buffon believes Iker Casillas has been the best goalkeeper of his era but feels Peter Cech is the “most complete overall” over the past three years.

The 37-year-old made his professional debut 20 years ago and has gone on to win six Serie A titles as well as the World Cup with Italy.
“The best goalkeeper of my era has been Casillas,” Buffon toldMarca. “He’s always been the best with his hands.
“People always say [Lev] Yashin, [Ricardo] Zamora, [Dino] Zoff, [Sepp] Maier and [Gordon] Banks.
“If I had to select those of my era, I’d say [Peter] Schmeichel, [Walter] Zenga, [Gianluca] Pagliuca, [Andoni] Zubizzareta.
“In the last decade, Cech and Casillas have been the best, while in the last three [years] I’d say [Manuel] Neuer, he’s fantastic in the air. The Czech though [Cech] is the most complete overall.”

What African Leaders should not do to save their Economies after COVID-19

They should know that this is the dawn of a new era and certainly not the time to cast aspersions on who bears the onus or play politics on the suffering proletarians. Those residing in the hinterlands have successfully lost their sources of livelihood as almost every country has embarked on complete lockdown. The private sector, considered as elites, are even battling on how to pay their employees who are now on official vacation. The government as a whole cannot import their needs and have to dig into their reserves to try to keep every Tom, Dick, and Harr...

2017 Christmas Galore In Nigeria

Xmas is a time where people show love and share gifts. But in Nigeria, everyone wants to spend money and hang out. Especially the women. Around this time, the craze for Brazillian Hairs is paramount. Some of the hairs cost $2000 (N600,000) and they ask for it like it's nothing. Imagine how that cash can change a life! For the guys, they run away from the girls and call-off relationships. LOL. With what the recession has caused, am pretty sure the girls will have the upperhand this Xmas.
