I remember Valderrama & Rincon taking the piss out of about 4 England players just playing keepball between them, whilst the likes of Gary Neville & Jamie Redknapp hared after them helplessly :) that Colombia team of the 90s really was something special

I find it hard to think of him making mistakes.
I'd side with Iker... Of course I'm being biased. ;D

Right on Jaz, I def. agree that Ochoas one of the brightest goalkeepers out there right now. What worries me is that America will not sell him to a Euro club. Which is where he should be playing IMO...
But who knows maybe it's meant for it to be this way for a reason.

All time is pretty damn! hard question... I wouldn't even know where to start.
Schmeicel, Chilavert and Khan... How do you even start that one.
Then you've got Zenga, Zubizarreta and Tafarel.
??? I'm cluless as where to start. ???
I'm quite glad Ochoa is currently still in Mexico as I think he needs to gain a bit more maturity there, although it does mean that a lot of people don't realize how good he is which is a shame. Oh & on young keepers, I forgot about Akinfeev, who I would say is currently better than Ochoa.
On your all-time list, it's a bit difficult to justify putting Chilavert & Zubizarreta in there, although I can see justification for Kahn & Taffarel. Generally though it's widely considered to be between Lev Yashin & Dino Zoff, find some videos of those guys if you can, they were amazing ;D
Re: [ The Best Goalkeeper In The World ]
The best keeper right now has to be Cech.
Anybody remember the famous Turkish Goalkeeper Rustu Recber from a few years back ? Famous for painting under his eyes. The reason was the lights dazzled his vision. He was a good keeper as well.

Yeah he was always going to go that way. He was a fat fooker whilst still playing at a pretty high standard.

One of the best keepers in the world in the mid eighties imo
Ugly fat whelk though ;D
Re: [ The Best Goalkeeper In The World ]
Not just saying it because i am a Toon fan, but Shay Given. That guy almost every game pulls of save after save of the highest class. He savs the club every single game, if played for a better team he would hardly ever concede a goal.
