believe me he is not... they have many other problems that far outweigh robinson

When England have everyone fit, then they should be able to beat most teams, as their team is composed of players who would fit in the top 25 in the world in that position. Robinson, is not even one of the top 50 goalkeepers.

He is just shit though. Look at Campo's strike from fourty yards, any keeper could have got that. He didn't. Even the African and Asian keepers were better than him at the World Cup.

And then some people dare compare Barthez to him .

Because of Barthez unmarked record in the Premiership eh?

hahahah

He had two years where he was awesome, and then tow years when he wasn't. However, on his day he was better than anyone. And he very rarely made mistakes for France. I prefer Coupet, but to say Barthez is worse than RObinson is absurd.

I saw the highlights of the game and Robinson was to blame for both goals. In the first one he was caught in no man's land. It was comedic to watch him chase after the ball like a schoolboy keeper. He was too far off his line and his decision to chase after the ball was stupid. He should have taken one step back at the most and jumped as high as he could. That's the only chance he had to catch that ball given his sloppy positioning.

He was certainly unlucky for the second goal, but he said so himself that he had seen holes in the place where the Croatian goalie was taking goal kicks. This means that he should have been more careful when trying to clear the ball. It was also funny to watch him kicking at the field afterwards for all the cameras to see as if saying "hey everyone out there watching at home, this wasn't my fault!". It reminded me of Beckham pointing at the penalty spot after sending the ball to the stands against Portugal.

Edit: And have no doubt, Robinson is David James Part II. He'll make the occasional great save, but then look like a complete moron shortly afterwards. Weren't there some English people before the WC claiming he was world class and better than Dida?
