He's said it many times.
I think he still feels he's in an audition, anytime he plays for Spain.

I hope he has an excellent world cup.
A bit like Van nistelrooy.
Absolute drivel, a goalkeeper is allowed the occasional mistake every year. Several clangers? Wow, please list these 4-5 direct mistakes leading to goals then, seems like you have a lot of material? Who cares if he makes a mistake in a meaningless game against Switzerland in a game where they change over half the team during the game.
Romero is better on the international scene? Not a single manager would pick Romero over de Gea. Furthermore, de Gea is better than Casillas ever was - he is the first name on that sheet for Spain and is th best keeper in the world.
Casillas is the most overrated keeper ever. He is backup for Porto now for a reason.
Because he is 37 and way past his best?
Euro 2016 against Croatia. Looked very shaky in the entire game and made several mistakes. Spain lost that match and ended up on the much harder side of the knockout competition. A draw would have been enough for top spot in the group.
Ramos, Busquets, Iniesta, Silva, and Isco are all more important than him.
De Gea is a phenomenal keeper, at club level. At international level, he has a lot to prove.

Well that aswell ha.
Suggest everyone check out the Stars of Russia episode on him on Sky Sports, great watch
He was fantastic in the Italy game in the 2nd round though. Did some of the saves you see from him in a United shirt.
Will it be on YouTube?
Wouldn't of thought so, it's on their catch up service though
We don't get Sky Sports here unfortunately.
The opposite is true for Navas I believe. For Costa Rica, he's a legend. For Real, he's very good and gives his all despite not being the most talented club keeper in the world a la DDG. DDG needs the exposure and repetition as Spain's #1 in the high profile tournaments like Iker before him. Maybe Spain played Iker 2 years too far and could have given the #1 to DDG earlier, but now it's his time and he will (hopefully) continue to run with it and claim it for the next couple of World Cup cycles.
This video doesn't show his best saves; but the lyrics made me laugh.
There’s a rare blooper!
Hope he’s not distracted

Told you he's not as good for Spain.
Can't remember the last time he made a mistake like that
Still yet to prove himself on the big stage
That's unfortunate as that's a massive clanger (again) for Spain. Oh well.
David de Karius.
Anything to put Real off the scent is good for me!

Against Sunderland second leg of the league cup semi final in 2013....
... under Moyes.
Poor by de Gea but he’s a strong minded guy, he’ll get over that.
Sell him. 
He made a mistake against Argentina and Switzerland in friendlies just this year. He made multiple mistakes in Euro 2016.
He can't handle the pressure of playing for Spain.
Has to be a mental block.
He’s terrible for Spain to be fair.
Maybe he's playing poorly to get Real off his back 
He means United
Has a mental block with the national team it seems. I wonder if those horrible allegations before the last Euro’s has affected him.
Don’t know what happens to him when he plays for Spain?! Shocked at his mistake today.
Against us a week ago..
Seeing as the world cup and being #1 for Spain is his biggest stage for country, yes...hasn't proved himself. But on club level when United has played in Champions League, especially Fergie's last season against Real, he was phenomenal.
Mourinho destroys another player.
Joking

Yeah
I love that he's playing shit for Spain.
Long may it continue!
Long may it continue!
He's not used to having so little to do for 20 minutes to be fair.
I blame Sergio Ramos, De Gea clearly has concussion.
With NT performances like that, we don't even need the help of a fax machine this time.
I wish Spain win this. Only for Dave to avoid scrutiny
