Hershie Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 As in real life, performance isn't everything. Reputation is essential. Akinfeev had the higher average anyway, so presumably had a better showing for a team less good defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hershie Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 But he conceded 29 goals more than the other goalkeeper Yeah, but if a goalkeeper makes 1000 saves and concedes 100 goals, while another makes 20 saves and concedes 10, who's the better goalie? The best goalies often play for teams with rubbish defenses, so you only see how good they are by the number of saves they have to make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
