At most, some goalkeepers are 13 but that's the second team!

**broken|smile** · 09-08-2008, 01:15 PM

13? Maybe Iker thought that was unlucky so he went with 12 instead.

seriously though why 13 is it cause no else is willing to wear it so they force it on the poor goalkeeper?

Iker was wearing the number 12 in is shirt beacause it wasn't his shirt it was Reinas' there was a mistake with the players that where going to play the match and the goalkeeper that was registered was the number 12, Pepe Reina, so Iker had to change his shirt with Reina to be allowed to play. Iker was very annoyed with this, he wanted to play with his number.

Thanks for the explanation

I hate that Iker got annoyed over that, but I guess I can see that, him being #1 for almost - what - 9 years now?
There were no names on the jerseys so that makes sense

Sheida, you know, 13 is a very lucky number for the Jewish people so I don't get the whole unlucky 13 thing

You're welcome

I'm Spanish so I heard the whole explanation during the match

**|so alive|** · 09-09-2008, 03:01 AM

Oh ok

I watched it in the Israeli channel but they were talking over a British channel so I heard them talking about it but not explaining it.

**broken|smile** · 09-09-2008, 04:25 AM

Thats understandable that he got mad they registered the wrong name, its funny that he just wore the other guys clothes and was able to play

Its lucky for you? seriously? we dont really consider it unlucky as a religion either its just people have watched too many movies so its commonly considered lucky everywhere. I personally love the number 13, same reason I like black cats and broken mirrors

**|so alive|** · 09-09-2008, 04:28 AM

OK you're weird

13 is lucky for Jewish people, unlucky for Christians. I personally think it's all a load of rubbish

And Sheida, I believe they make new sets for each match, so he didn't actually wore Pepe's clothes

**broken|smile** · 09-09-2008, 01:09 PM

Yeah I try to be

I actually begged my mum to let me break a mirror once on Friday the 13th but she wouldnt let me, said she wasnt willing to take the risk

huh weird, I didnt know it was a religion thing I thought it was just myths and legends, we dont have any unlucky numbers here but 7 is known to be kind of sacred or something.

Yeah I know he didnt wear his clothes but he wore something that was made for him didnt he?

**|so alive|** · 09-09-2008, 02:38 PM

As I said, I think they all get new sets before every match, so

**broken|smile** · 09-10-2008, 01:04 PM

Love the quote in your sig,

Something caught my eye in an Iranian newspaper today, it was an article that said that fans of Iker Casillas are signing a petition to have him voted best player of the year in the ceremony thats gonna be held in less than 2 months, so far I think they um... either had a thousand signatures or uh ... a 100 thousand, I dont really remember

**|so alive|** · 09-10-2008, 01:28 PM

Thank you!!! I was waiting for someone to say something

Hmm... that's a great idea for a petition!

I hope it's 100K

he really deserves it!

**broken|smile** · 09-10-2008, 01:36 PM

I know what you mean, I always keep a sig for as long as it takes for someone to comment on it.

Andy Roddick has some funny quotes.

He definately deserves it and from what I think, not a lot of goalkeepers get voted best player of the year I think its only ever been Oliver Kahn once, so I really hopehe gets it too, I think it was around 10 thousand (so yeah neither of the two numbers I said

)

**|so alive|** · 09-10-2008, 03:13 PM

10K is also good

but they can do more!

I know he's been nominated or won some award... maybe best Spanish player... anyway, it's definitely time for him to get best European player [or is it world's?]!

Spain beat Armenia 4-0.... I had the game in the background so I didn't see much of Casillas... did see he was wearing his #1 jersey though

**broken|smile** · 09-11-2008, 12:39 AM

I think this is the worlds best player, given out by FIFA.

for wearing #1 again, and 4-0 is always good, they were showing the England-Croatia match here so no Iker
