Jose Mourinho binned Iker Casillas at Real Madrid to much scorn, but the Spain goalkeeper's performance against Netherlands had many admitting that perhaps Mourinho just saw the stopper's decline before anyone else.
But rather than revel in Casillas' humiliation, Mourinho insists Vicente del Bosque must stick with him.
One bad game is not sufficient reason to change keepers JOSE MOURINHO
"The goalkeeper position is a very specific one and I wouldn’t like to make a change just because of one poor game," Mourinho said in his latest Yahoo! Sports interview. "I would only change something after a bad run of form that clearly shows a keeper lacks confidence and stability and his body language suggests it would be better to change. Iker has had a fine run with the Spanish national team and he has the confidence of his coach. One bad game is not sufficient reason to change keepers."
We're pretty sure there's some sort of mind games going on here but can't quite figure out what. Maybe it'll all become clear when Casillas makes a howler in the final to hand Portugal the title.
