Not so long ago some members were discussing that Casillas is $#@! cause it's almost impossible to beat Buffon from free kick, so here you go..
That was a perfect freekick. Unsaveable really.

Casillas allowed funny freekicks in. He cannot even set up the wall properly.

The shot was direct from the freekick, so they couldn't try to charge out to block it.

His anger, judging by the interview after the game, was to do with how stupidly the freekick had been given away.

You have to be ten yards away from the ball at the moment it is struck.

Buffon was mistaken
position far to the left
Nah, his position was fine.

Further across the goal would have left the other side exposed as it wouldn't have been covered by either keeper or wall.

Moving further across may also have meant the wall was blocking Buffon's view.
