No. I'm not buying his hype. I'm not forgetting the countless Clasicos in the past in which he looked like a total fool. Madrid media trying to portray the few Spanish players they have as national heroes after the Euros ("Casillas Ballon d'Or"
). Funny how people are forgetting that he could have easily cost Spain the Euros with his silly tackle in the box against Croatia. Another ref and that's a penalty + red card. Or his fuckup against Balotelli. Remember? The one where Ramos was lucky enough that Balotelli froze for 5 seconds. Ramos also messed up the offside trap which led to Di Natale's goal. He had a good game against Portugal. The team with the worst centre forward of the tournament. He gave away the penalty against Iniesta in recent El Clasico, lunging in in clasical Ramos style. He also messed up the offside trap in last year's Supercopa for Iniesta's goal. He should have been sent off in the 3-1 Clasico last December as well for jumping into Messi with both studs showing up. He's the most sent off player in Real Madrid's history already. And he's just 26. I mean, sure, with the current state of our backline, of course I'd rather have him than Song. But if I could chose I'd chose Thiago Silva. Not Ramos. Pepe is the REAL deal though who holds that Real Madrid backline together. He's a beast. Ramos is profiting from Pepe and Mourinho's defensive structure.
