Who is the best Goalkeeper in the World?

[Il fenomeno]

Well, to be honest, Kahn is the best, Toldo second best...

[Slavenik]

Toldo
Kahn
Buffon
Casilas

[ilcapitano]

I have to say Kahn too...Casillas is still very young, he could be the best in a couple of years.
Inter goalies should always be Italian, methinks.

[doz]

This thread has already been posted on the Off Category Soccer Forum...........but since that one has got too big i will leave this one here especially for us Inter fans.:thumbsup:

For me the best goalies in no particular order are:

Kahn
Buffon
Toldo
Given(excuse the Irish bias please)
Mondragon(very good last season-look forward to seeing him again)
Canizares
Barthez

I don't really rate Casillas.Sure he saved the pens but he drops crosses with unbelievable frequency and was only playing because Canizares was injured.

[Skualo]

Toldo
Khan
Buffon
cañizares (with out a doubt firts than casillas)
casillas :D

[ilcapitano]

But Canizares is cursed!
That freak injury before this WC says it all...
Maybe Valencia's two losses in CL finals is because of him, not Cuper...:D :sealed:

[Skualo]

hehe...no way he is grate..than why if he is cursed valencia won the league tittle ? :silly:

[Il fenomeno]

Basically, there is only one thing that I would change about Toldo. He needs to be able to start a quick counter attack. Usually he waits alot, and sends a ball in the sky, only for the opponent to get it.

If he can start fast counter attacks with his HANDS, and throw them very long, then it will surely be an advantage. I would say he should become like Fabien Barthez, altough Toldo is better in goalkeeping, barthez starts the game faster...

anyway, FORZA INTER

[R9ronaldo]

toldo
kahn
buffon
that how it goes IMO:D

[Toldo No.1]

:eek: I am shocked! Francesco Toldo is by far the greatest goalkeeper on the planet and is also the greatest keeper of all time. Okay maybe not, but I would say he is the best in the world at the moment. My list:

1)Toldo
2)Buffon
3)Kahn
4)Canizarez


5)Casillas (But not in the same league as the above keepers).

[nismo]

socceroo Bozza will always be the best to me:D :angel:
too bad Man U never realised his potential:cry:

personal favourties aside,
Kahn (as proven in WC) is the best goalie out there
Toldo and Buffon is a draw for second
and third place would have to go to Frey (again another personal favourtite) :thumbsup:

[Beck]

Rüþtü Rençber (Türkiye)
Buffon (Juve)
Toldo (Inter)
Kirkland (Liverpool)

[JD]

Kirkland?!? maybe 1day but he has done absolutely nothing yet
it has2b Kahn although a certain paraguayan bulldog desrves a mention for his freekicks penalties and leadership

[doz]

Kirkland has barely played a game for Liverpool so i think it's outlandish to have him as one of the world's best.Same applies to Paul Robinson of Leeds.

[BLAUGRANA]

How on earth is Casillas not in the same league as the others. He's amazing. Did you not see the Spain-Korea match?

[nismo]

Cassilas will be up there with Buffon i reckon azulgrana. Watch out for casillas to have a similiar impact as Buffon did

same with Frey, but landreu is also pretty good.

BTW I agree with you Doz222, Kirland and Robinson???? WTF???
neither of those two are even first team starters let alone be in contention for world's best GK:rolleyes:

[BLAUGRANA]

Casillas already is up there!

[nismo]

i meant age-wise,
remember how buffon burst to the serieA scene at 17 or 18, he was on the path for goal keeping greatness, and i mean casillas is heading down the same path, and he will be as good as buffon if not better by the time he reached buffon's age.

[doz]

Casillas's catching and positional skills leave a lot to be desired i think.He hasn't convinced me and he obviously hasn't convinced Del Bosque who dropped him in favour of the more steady and assured Cesar.

[JD]

Cesar is shite - if he hadn't got subbed Leverkusen would b CL champs!! Casillas saved Real.
I can't forgive Cesar 4throwing in Xavis poor shot in last years derby, a game Real NEEDED2 win.
Real should never have let canizares go but at least Casillas is better than useles cesar

[doz]

I completely disagree but hey, that's what the board is for.;)

[JD]

r u a real fan?

[BLAUGRANA]

I hate Real, but Casillas is one of their players (along with Helguera and of course Raul) who I covet.

[nismo]

well you arenal fellas, missed out Dudek who's better than wright
but seaman still has 2 more season i reckon
maybe wenger should buy casillas??
oh what do i care, i'm an interista:D

No but i see a lot of their matches.

[Elvis Pressley]

IMO the two best goalkeepers at the world cup have been:


Oliver Kahn (Germany)
Rustu (Turkey)

[nismo]

true that elvis pressley

[Skualo]

of course those are the best..third marcos from brazil

[nismo]

poor seaman
he must've been the unluckiest GK to concede ronaldinho's goal like that:cool:

[JD]

tell u who's Xclnt young goalie- Gillet Belgian U21 keeper, quality.
c and dozz maybe I'm just harsh, but I can't 4giv Cesar 4buggerin up in the derby (just like that useless yokel fool Richard Wright will never be 4given 4throwing 1in against the scum last season)

Yes poor old Seaman, that was his last chance...and it wasn't the first time someone scored against him in that way...he has this nasty habit standing too far from the net sometimes.

[001]

Youngsters (maybe some are old?)

Paul Robinson (the first time, i saw this guy...he i sphenomenal)
Michael Landreau
Sebastian Frey
Mondragon
Casillas
Buffon (Number 3)


Oldies


Toldo (Number 1)
Khan (Number 2)
Seaman
Rustu (quite good)
Chilavert and Barthez (sheer entertainers) :D

[Skualo]

may i add jersye dudek :D

[JD]

but Jerzy had a nightmare world cup - every goal Poland concededwas his fault he was rubbish

[Il fenomeno]

Honestly, who here feels Chilavert is a good GOALKEEPER, besides from his setpieces and goals.... i do not think he is anything special...

[doz]

I personally think he is an average keeper.

[Skualo]

hes nothing special NOW some years ago he was god besides the three posts..

[Skualo]

no reason for beeying bad...just a slum

[nismo]

Dudek is the total opposite of conceicao
where as jerzy is good for club but crap for country
and sergio, well you guys know the story

[Toldo No.1]

He would be if the topic was 'best shot-stopper in the world', but, as Doz pointed out, he is very vulnerable when it comes to crosses and is liable to make mistakes. Until he sorts that out, he can not be counted as one of the very best IMO.

[nismo]

that's why i say give him a couple of years to iron out his flaws
