All this crap about him being short, little arms etc....

Did anyone ever complain about casillas? Same size and he was class too
Sure, starting in 2014. In his prime, there was no one else you wanted between the sticks. Replaced Buffon as the world's top keeper, but didn't have that long Old Buffon period of remaining a top ten shot stopper at an age when goalkeepers mostly draw a paycheck as a backup and glorified goalkeeping coach.

Can you imagine the intensity of Pickford as a goalkeeping coach in 10 years time?

It'll be like Full Metal Jacket.

He probably could have done a bit better with the goal but it's slim pickings now in terms of trying to find a mistake in his keeping. The fault of the goal was on Rice (who has had a very poor tournament).

Yeah agree. Rice has to take the most blame and the defence backing off Simons didn't help either. I did think at the time he could maybe have done better but also think he sees it a little late.
