World Cup 2010: Netherlands vs Spain 0-1 11 July, Iker Casillas photos of the game

Can't say this tournament was the best of Casillas, but the final belonged to him. Amazing one-on-one saves of two Robben's shots kept Spain in the game. The first one was very, very lucky. Casillas was always on place, didn't let the ball out of his hands in crucial situations.

In the pictures of the game you will see that as some point he shows clear frustration. It must be hard for the goalkeeper and the captain, the awarreness that he can do nothing, just watch from the opposite side of the pitch what is happening under the opponent's goal.

Think his fine saves gave support to the team and the sense of security. I didn't want penalties in the final, but I suppouse if it would come to them, Casillas would have made a save or two.

Will add later the photos of the celebration as well as of Maarten Stekelenburg. I think he was the best player in the Nethelands's team in that game. He also made important saves. However, Inieta's shot was impossible to defend.

Both goalkeepers' made 5 saves each.
