Euro 2012 Top 5 Goalies To Watch


Here are my top 5 goalies for Euro 2012


5.  Petr Cech - Czech Republic - Chelsea FC














  The "Cech-Republic": Half man, half machine.  Petr commands his back line well and his track record of 88 caps supports this.  He has held the position since the 2008 Euros, through two World Cups and hopefully the work will pay off this summer.

4. Hugo Lloris - France - Lyon














   Hugo's boss.  No, not the fashion store, Lloris is a brick wall in between the pipes.  Lloris was not a part of the Euro 2008 squad which ducked out in the group stages with an abismal 1 point.  France's keeping should not be a weakness against their group.



3. Joe Hart - England - Manchester City














 Hart has been capped 16 times by the three lions, in which they have gone unbeaten.  The vocal, fiery Manchester City player has been highly praised on the international and domestic levels.  His leadership and agility will prove crucial in England's knockout stages run. 


2. Manuel Neuer - Germany - Bayern Munich















   Manuel has cemented himself as the number 1 keeper for Germany during qualifying.  Playing in all 10 games, without missing a minute, Germany secured themselves as their group winners.  Neuer recently broke the clean sheets record at Bayern Munich with 1000 minutes without conceding a goal.


1. Iker Casillas - Spain - Real Madrid


   Casillas is the most dominant and consistent keeper in the world right now.  After leading Spain to the 2011 World Cup Final and victory, he has helped land Real Madrid atop the Spanish La Liga.  He has been capped 127 times and has been the clear cut number 1 choice for the past 8 years.

Summer Transfer Window 2015 - Premier League Signings To Watch

Here is the link to a downloadable list of all the EPL Transfer so far The 2015 Barclays Premier League summer transfer window is in full swing. With the September 1st deadline slowly moving closer, here are some of the best signings so far... Gerard Deulofeu - Winger - 21 years old     Transfer:   FC Barcelona   ->  Everton  Transfer Fee : 4.2 Million Euros  Deulofeu has blinding pace.  His return to Merseyside will be much welcomed after being loaned to the club in 2013-14.  During his first stay he appeared 25 times, tallying 3 goals.  Sidelined due to injury the flashes of brilliance he displayed when healthy was enough for boss Roberto Martinez to complete this permit transfer without hesitation. In my opinion this may end up being the steal of the transfer window.  If he can stay healthy, the combination of his and Kevin Mirallas speed could easily translate into explosive seasons for the pair.  The luxury...

Onward To Villa Park - Manchester United vs. Aston Villa Preview

Tottenham…In Short Manchester United topped Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford, kicking off the season with a 1-0 victory.   The lone goal came courtesy of Tottenham as Kyle Walker was "credited" with the bizarre own goal.   United got the result, regardless of how, which is the most important take away. New arrivals Matteo Darmain, Memphis Depay, Morgan Schneiderlin, Bastion Schweinsteiger and Sergio Romero all saw action as the high profile signs looked like solid additions. Romero stole the show, making crucial stops in the later stages of the match.   Schneiderlin played well aside Michael Carrick, with the pair combining for a pass completion average of 91.55%.   Memphis and Darmain also had strong performances for United, completing 86.2% and 86.1% respectively in their first starts for United.   In a match that did not see Marouane Fellaini (suspended), Marcos Rojo (rest?) David de Gea and Victor Valdes not suite up…signs moving forward s...
