Ustari to man the arc against Norway

Osky is getting his shot.

Carrizo continued to have passport problems and hasn't practiced with Lazio. Due to his lack of training and match condition, he will not start against Norway.


Personally, I prefer Ustari. He's a little younger, so more time to gain experience and better his positioning. He might of been a little shorter than Carrizo, but has incredible stretch and he's got the amazing ability to hold onto the ball. Carrizo is reliable enough to back up, but I want to see Ustari starting. Just feel safer with him under the arc, and I don't know why. Statistically, Carrizo has better consistency.

Ustari is a fantastic young goalkeeper. Being short really has nothing to do with it.

Remember Campos? He used great power to attack the ball and he was pretty tiny.

Like the Mugsy Bougues of Soccer!

goalie is a very psychological job. Besides the physical attributes, they have to handle pressure well, must be able to stay focused, and constantly need to make correct positioning decisions.

Ustari has the touch very rarely seen, but alot of people have doubts on his mental capacity and experience.

I think we need to play him ASAP so he could start gaining valuable experiences and also building a reputation at international level.
