Egyptian BuffonDay 11: England vs Panama, Japan vs Senegal and Poland vs Colombia
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Egyptian BuffonYou would think these two would just settle for a draw, fair play to them.
Thomas N'Kono was highly regarded in his time.
Most fun group. Anyone can win it
I think thats a part of it. Get a real taste of flavors from around the world, in fans and players.
I know he is a legend
Actually without exaggerating if I made a list of best 25 GKs or so I have seen in my life I would probably throw him around. He was that good.
I remember Drogba saying he was the best opponent he had faced, despite all the great GKs he played against in England. Killed Droga's hopes of winning an international competition twice.
That is how you put your body on the line
Just because you dont agree doesnt make it shit. Sweden did not even try to play football in the second half so dont know what you are smoking by saying they were better than many.
It has been a fun group indeed. Hopefully the other game is as fun
Poland vs Colombia
Good stuff. Poland-Colombia should be a cracker.
Great game. Most fair result I believe. Hopefully both qualify together.
Very enjoyable match between two likable teams.
Like this result. Want both of them to make it out of their group.
They were pretty poor in second half, last 10 odd minutes they were playing against a 10 man side and yet showed no ambition. First half yes they were good but second half they just defended and played for a draw which was stupid.
Good game and good result.
Now Colombia win please. The babes deserve it
Now Colombia win please. The babes deserve it
Interesting from Colombia, starting both Quintero and James. Will james put on a shift on the left or what? I can't imagine Quintero trying to outpace the full back there.
Hmm Polish vs Colombian chicks
They are amazing but many of them have this nasty tendency of using plastic surgerycolombia wins. South America always wins
Too bad Venezuela can't qualify
I wonder if Zabaleta and Drogba could be tempted to off Phil somehow and leave him in a field in Russia?
Africa's best goalies today are their best kept secrets as several of them don't play in Europe. Vincent Enyeama is decent but not great and is at the end of his career. Cameroon has produced three legendary keepers in the past. Thomas Nkono is a legend who was considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world when he played for Espanyol. Buffon once said in an interview he decided to become a goalie after watching him at Italia 90. Jacques Songo’o of Cameroon was Deportivo's first choice when they won their first La Liga title in 97 and was voted best keeper of the season (the Zamora award). Joseph Antoine Belle also of Cameroon played in three world cups and won the Africa cup twice.
POLCOL is a great #
Come the feck on Poland
Want Falcao to score. Former United player and all that.
Phil ripping Uruguayan culture there 
Phil Neville is a dick
Yeah, and very early too. But it's still ridiculous. Been to Brazil once and my brain couldn't take it.
Did you not watch their no.9 stop running after 60 minutes? Sweden didn't play for a draw, they were simply too tired to keep going.
Just before Germany scored their 2nd goal, Sweden did a counter attack committing 3-4 men and Guidetti made a weak shot at Neuer.
The intention was there, but the physical and technical quality was not.
He was a beast in his prime. I think he didn’t really realize his potential by not exploring playing so much in Europe. I think he had a spell in the Swiss league and there where some issues with his previous club AlAlhli and I believe he became home sick or something and went back to Egypt. Absolutely love the guy and I honestly believe his up there with the best & I’m not Egyptian.
Yeah everything you said is true.
feck me the amount of consonants in the the number 20's name.
Best one of recent times I've seen was Eneyema, the Nigerian keeper. He had a good career in europe.
Does Falcao take penalties for Colombia?
Genuinely don't care who wins this match, I just want Japan to be one of the teams that come out of this group.
If I HAD to pick, I'd probably go Colombia.

ITV just spent half an hour talking about England in their build up to POLCOL
I miss those days we had some defensive certainty. A partnership would be ideal but right now I’d just take one player who’s fit every week, an absolute rock and who can be trusted by manager, teammates and fans. He looks like he could fit the (my) bill.
Colombia with a much more creative team.Hopefully Poland can win today.In the first match they were really bad
