Yes, agreed Cruello. His "rusty misgrievings" that were complained about last year are apparently history now.

Just saw the highlights...

wow.

I guess I look at it differently. Julio Caesar, if switched and put behind our defense of last year would have conceded just as many. Buffon, if switched and put behind Inter's defense of last year would have been just as good IMO.

He saved a Gourcuff free kick by punching it away far, that showed a lot of experience, he chose to punch it because trying to hold it was impossible being slippery and with lots of spin.

I don't even think experience plays a big part in Buffon's game, he did all this stuff since he was 19, I think his game is pure puma instinct :delpiero:

I knew he would make history when I saw him at Parma more than a decade ago. Some players are just destined to write history.

P.S. Buffon still needs 164 games for Juventus to overcome Zoff's number of appearances for Juve (to be the Juve keeper with most appearances ever).

Impossible?

Is that total appearances or just league appearances?

He will play till 40 or more, he will be Juve captian and italy captain for long time, too bad for Chiellini he has got to wait a lot to become Juventus captain :D
