Memories of Confederation Cup 2009

Confederation Cup 2009 was a great competition. Also goalkeepers show. Some of my favourite players played there. Buffon, Julio Cesar and Casillas. But the greatest imperssion on me made Egyptian goalkeeper El Hadary.

He was unstoppable in the match Italy - Egypt.

Some photos from this match:





Essam El Hadary - the hero of that evening.





Buffon in striking red.





Without a chance to stop the ball.





Egyptian players celebrates after Shawky shot the goal.





El Hadary celebrates.



Buffon: 'like, omg'.



Not good for Italy, not good.



Buffon in action under the opponents goal near the end of the match.



Some more photos of El Hadary during the match.







On of the saves close to the end of the match. It was offside anyway.



And a foul on the goalkeeper I think.







El Hadary celebrates the victory after the final whistle.



Buffon and El Hadary exchange jersey after the match.



Of course they haven't shown it at TV.



Good they are photos ;)



El Hadary breaks down in tears after the match. Buffon's jersey is useful as the handkerchief (the lack of respect!) ;)

Pity that we are not going to see Egypt at World Cup 2010. El Hadary is 37 now. How much longer his international career will last?
