The Best Goalkeeper in the World

Jens is so good he's been benched by Almunia!!!

@Otto

Will you please stop trying to convince us that Lehman is any good?! That psychopath belongs in a mental institution, not in a football field. The only thing Lehman has ever inspired is for his coach to replace him with the 10th best Spanish goalie.

I don't watch Buffon much, but he did make a mistake against Scotland.

How tall is Casillas?

Not that I've noticed. The only time I've seen him fail to deal with a cross (where he's actually gone for the ball) was Arsenal. I'd say he's slightly more reluctant to dive at a players feet now, though that's understandable

Jens is so much better because he really is two players in one

That's only because he has multiple personality disorder, not because he's any good.

1.84

He's hardly a midget, but that's a relatively small height for a goalie.

against Germany Cech had four Czechs in front of him

Kuranyi went on to score TWO

suddenly Cech was just a normal goalie

You're now saying that Czech defence > Germany defence?

Cech weren't so ordinary when they won 3-0 against the mighty teutons in Munich eh?

He can't be 6ft, if so then RM must be employing NBA players because he looks short alongside them.

This is another reason why he is the best, height for height/pound for pound whatever you call it, the man is Superman. Cech & Buffon for example have the height advantage, San Iker does not.

Not as bad as I remember, but a mistake nonetheless.

in the 3:0 Cech was not tested once

none of the goals were Hildebrandt's fault either, really

Schweinsteiger continued to probe and brought two fine saves out of Petr Čech before the visitors sealed the points and their qualification with a break-away goal on 63 minutes.

I was in the stadium

and trust me

Cech did nothing YOU would not have done yourself

much as I would like to praise Schweini for testing him

Bufffon= Most all arounded keeper
Cech= Most consistent
Iker= Best reflexes/reactions

I'd say Buffon is more consistent than Cech, look at how many mistakes Cech has made this season*. When was the last time Buffon made an error like that?

1.

Congratulations

definitely more than 1

the goal was offside so it has no relevance

Fair play Torrente, but I'm gonna give Lehmann some credit. He was past his prime when Almunia took over. The German is almost 40 isn't he.

So Casillas is better because he is shorter?



We're looking at who is the best keeper overall, not cm for cm (thing that was the phrase you were looking for?).

No I am not saying he is better because he is smaller than the other two but being tall would give you a good advantage as a goalkeeper.

But i'm not really sure thats a valid argument. You can't hold it against Buffon and Cech just because they are taller than Casillas.

Puro

why would Jens be past it

have you seen his games for Germany

thought so

have you seen Casillas against Bremen

thought so

Lehmann is at the peak of his game

David Healy would suggest otherwise

Do you remember that moment of magic from crazy Jens earlier in the season Otto or have you systematically erased it from you propaganda machine / brain ? It is the reason he is now behind the spanish 213th choice keeper in the arsenal pecking order

His height is a factor, all the great goalkeepers have been tall or big, Casillas has done a pretty good job, maybe that argument may not hold for everyone. But Casillas does hold other attributes at times and at times he seems unbeatable. He is not near Buffons level but I am confident he will be, fair to say they are the two best Goalkeepers at the moment.

shut up, children

you watch nothing but Anglo-Irish football

did you see his lovely chest-down and dummy v Wales

thought not

Worüber man nichts weiß, darüber muß man schweigen

I think Buffon is the best.

I will never forget Casillas's phenomenal performance against Leverkusen in 2002. That was just brilliant stuff. He is an awesome goalkeeper, who is, in my opinion, the second best in the world.

Buffon for me. all 3 are amazing though, although im pretty sure if lampard ever got the chance to play in goal he would certainly be the best and definitly better than gerrard.
