How do you guys feel about Taffarel?
I know a lot of people don't like him. They say he never was really good with Brazil, only stopping a few penalties. But I really like this guy. I was so happy for him when he was the hero of the World Cup semifinal and finally people started to call him Saint Taffarel.
Sure, he is not the best goalkeeper in the world. But he was dependable for Brazil for many, many years and many World Cups. And he was the goalkeeper when Brazil finally won the Cup again for the first time since 1970! We should not forget that.
I don't think anyone gave Taffarel enough credit for being a solid goalkeeper for a long time. By the way, he just won the Turkish championship with Galatasaray.
