He is a very good defender. It's not my fault you hate anything Spanish. Coming to think of it, I seriously hope your nurse isn't Spanish. Poor girl.
Quite fond of Spanish football btw, and I've never heard, not even from Real's avid fans, that Ramos is a very good defender. It seemed like you didn't know what you were doing back there. Get some sleep kiddo.

Ramos is so bad at defending, that at Euro 2012, with him in the heart of the Defense, Spain allowed 1 goal against in 6 games.

Last year's Champion's League run as their most important defender. Knockout stages. Real Madrid. 5 goals against in 7 games. But he's a bad defender.

There are plenty of good CBs out there. It's just that we're able to watch more games (mistakes get published more), combined with a faster pace which makes a lack in concentration much more costly. But people like DP84, Zach, and B81 would have you think somehow society lost all the information on how to defend in the last decade or so.

We live in a post-apocalyptic footballing world.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Real fans adore him. He's been their best defender in the last years. You can't really be that biased to not see that he has been an important figure for Real last year when they went to win the CL and even in the league.

Go perform suicide, you old fart.

Golden Age Syndrome. I bet they think dicks were small in the past and are wishing themselves back in tiem.

Ramos did score some outrageously important goals for Madrid last year. I know that's not what being a CB is all about but those goals are impossible to ignore.

That's another plus with him.

With the way the mind of DP84 works, he'd be considered a better defender if he did not score all those goals and kept the same performances defensively.
