My favorite goalkeepers of all time...\n\nArranged in alphabetical order (by family name) with links to GreedyPuppy video search engine (which gives results from all major video hosting sites):\n\nGordon Banks\nhttp://www.greedypuppy.com/?cx=000525307759150129680%3Amghq3b7nybm&q=%22Gordon+Banks%22&sa=Search&cof=FORID%3A9\n\nRene Higuita\nhttp://www.greedypuppy.com/?cx=000525307759150129680%3Amghq3b7nybm&q=%22Rene+Higuita%22&sa=Search&cof=FORID%3A9\n\nOliver Kahn\nhttp://www.greedypuppy.com/?cx=000525307759150129680%3Amghq3b7nybm&q=%22Oliver+Kahn%22&sa=Search&cof=FORID%3A9\n\nJimmy Montgomery\nhttp://www.greedypuppy.com/?cx=000525307759150129680%3Amghq3b7nybm&q=%22Jimmy+Montgomery%22&sa=Search&cof=FORID%3A9\n\nPeter Schmeichel\nhttp://www.greedypuppy.com/?cx=000525307759150129680%3Amghq3b7nybm&q=%22Peter+Schmeichel%22&sa=Search&cof=FORID%3A9\n\nLev Yashin\nhttp://www.greedypuppy.com/?cx=000525307759150129680%3Amghq3b7nybm&q=%22Lev+Yashin%22&sa=Search&cof=FORID%3A9\n\nThat should give you excellent footage of amazing saves.\n\nYou may also want to try generic terms like "goalkeeper" or "best goalkeeper" in GreedyPuppy.  Using the term "goalkeeper" with "masters" got me a few good videos, too.\n\nSepp Maier, Jan Tomaszewski and  Andoni Zubizarreta are also amazing goalkeepers but I couldn't find any good videos online (which is really a shame).\n\nReply to Mark below:\nFound a Dida video on MetaCafe.  Perhaps the save you are thinking about is in here?\nhttp://www.metacafe.com/watch/137913/dida/

Only Brazil have played in more finals and won more titles. The Germans first claimed the trophy in 1954, causing shock waves when they defeated the clear favourites Hungary 3-2 in the final.\n\nTwenty years later Germany won their second title, this time on home soil. In the final in Munich they came from behind to beat Holland 2-1. A key member of the 1974 team was Franz Beckenbauer, manager of the German team that 16 years later claimed a third World title.\n\nIn the Italy '90 final Germany beat Argentina 1-0 with a late penalty. The German team have never lost an away game in the qualifiers to date.

Choices based on performances in this World Cup.\n\n\nGK - Buffon - The best keeper in the world by far and others are too erratic\n\nRB - Miguel - He's impressed me with his runs and defending\n\nCB - Lucas Neill - Played out of his skin, but shown composure and talent.\n\nCB - Fabio Cannavaro - Awesome so far.\n\nLB - Ashley Cole - played well apart form first game.\n\nRM - Ze Roberto - Probably been the best Brazillian\n\nCM - Appiah - Shown what an underrated player he is\n\nCM - Riquelme - Barca are stupid to seal him to Villareal.\n\nLM - Robben - Dangerous, pacy, match winner.\n\nF - Klose - Topscorer so far, cant go past that.\n\nF - Crespo - World class.

The most underrated elements of a goalkeepers game are defence organisation and ball distribution.\n\nAt some levels it can be difficult but try to organise the defence- even if only covering vulnerable spots in set-pieces. Maybe just stopping them rushing headlong towards the ball and leaving areas vacant will be enough.\n\nBall distribution is your opportunity to start the attack. Fast reactions, and being able to spot kick, drop kick and throw well and accurately are the basics. As you learn to do these quickly it will also help with goal mouth scrambles.

Best field player is Claudio Reyna.\nThe best keeper is Freidel, hands down.  I wish he hadn't retired from international football.  Keller is very good, but I would rather have Friedel.

free kick (direct) sliced the ball up and over the wall and it dropped just inside the left up-right under under the diving goalie. it was a nice ball and there was no way the keeper was going to save it he was set up all the way on the far right of the goal face, had to much space to cover.\n\ncheck www.fifaworldcup.com for pictures and video of it

The one who brings his team to the final, that's for sure.\n\nWe have seen some excellent saves and these are usually from 'keepers of 'lesser' teams, because naturally they will see more action.\n\nI always judge goalkeepers not on the fine stops but on 'bread and butter' issues, does he handle crosses, does he 'rule the box', is he beaten at the near post, does he spill easy shots etc ?\n\nThat is what usually separates the really good from the rest.\n\nBased on what we have seen after a week, Dida of Brasil, Van Der Saar of Holland and Buffon, have shaded the field together with Cech of the Czech Rep.\n\nI think 1 of these 4 will emerge as the best, come 9 July.

Goalkeepers have been nominated but I guess that there are no really outstanding goalkeepers in the world at the moment. Oliver Kahn is now Germany's back up after a mediocre season. His successor Lehman is not totally convincing at Arsenal. Petr Cech of Chelsea is not consistant enough. Paul Robinson of England is not of the caliber needed to win the award. Shay Given is probably the only one in the Premier who is good enough to be considered. The only other keeper in the world who has any recognition is Dida of Brazil and I don't think he is good enough for nomination.

Carsten Jancker plays for Kaiserslaughtern. He is a forward. He used to play for Bayern Munich and Udinese. He last played for Germany in WC 2002.\n\nJose Luis Chilavert was Paraguay's goalkeeper. He is most famous for scoring a hat-trick of penalties in a game. However he was also a great goalkeeper.\n\nOliver Kahn is Germany's current goalkeeper. He plays for Bayern Munich.
