that wc is over there is a new coach,new players and new way of playing so the wc performance means nothing

New Zealand, that is all.

won MOTM. Oliver Kahn said: “Tonight there was only one world class player - Szczesny.” "World class from Szczesny. For me, a GK is world class when he saves the unsaveables. And Szczseny managed that."

the guy is unreal. never seen someone improve in such a short amount of time from making their debut and still improve match on match. it will be tough to keep him here in 4 or 5 years if we aren't challenging. he loves the club and said he wants to be our 1st choice for the next 15 years and it has always been his dream to play for us, but the guy is a winner, a leader, and it will be hard to keep him here.

Joe Cole is also considered world class .

But all seriousness that guy is a good keeper, minus his positional sense vs united.
