Well Buffon is no Bartez, who used to position himself badly just to save his ass with spectacular flying one-hand saves, the man's effective not showy, his positioning is just as outstanding as his saves are. Both Milito chances in first half, Obi's shot, Forlan's header were all very dangerous moments, and to keep all of them out plus make some other remarkable saves was truly outstanding in my eyes.
yup, apart from his great positioning skill and reflex. His decision making and defence organization skill is top notch! Thats what makes him the most effective keeper as well as the best keeper in the world.
