Who is the best goalkeeper right now?

[msk06]

I would have the 2002 Oliver Kahn over any goalkeeper in the history of the sport

yes i agree. i think germany should play him now, lehman is a disaster waiting to happen!!:D

[TRICOLOR BRASIL]

Rogério Ceni by far.

[Bandeirante_SPFC]

Ceni...

agreed.

Dunga is a stupid. The best brazilian goalkeeper since Gilmar.

[Albee1]

MLS not sure, but buffon, chech Sp ? from chealsea and i really like Ochoa from america

[R_9-Ronaldo]

Ceni...

agreed.

I think you're forgetting Marcos fairly quickly.

[thebigman]

wow, talk about a biased poll

[Albee1]

^^ no kidding lol. Hmm lets see, i can either vote for a french guy or a bunch of americans...i'll take neither :rolleyes:

[El Poderoso1]

Three active americans and a retired French guy hmmmm :) i'll go with Buffon

[Bandeirante_SPFC]

Marcos is a great goalkeeper but his is injuried for a long and I think Ceni is more complete than Marcos. But Marcos is awesome too.

Of those keepers, its definitley Friedel, without a doubt. Keller doesn't make amazinf saves, Howard still hasn't proved himself consistently and Barthez makes hilarious errors.

Friedel, is a great shot stopper or all kinds, and good in one on ones.

[AussieLFCfan]

They're all SHITE!

[Glavisted Big Soccer]

From the list, Kasey Keller.

[mochoa]

Buffon #1
Cech #2
Casillas #3
Ochoa #4

[SergioBarten]

Right now doesn't matter.
Kahn is the best goalkeeper in all times ;) that's what counts :P

[Teso Dos Bichos]

Kahn wasn't even the best of his generation.

[DrSkillz1800]

I'd have to say Buffon's the best right now... in about 3-4 years... it'll be a toss up between Akinfeev from russia and Ochoa from mexico. And maybe Kasper Schmichael will be among those, who knows.

[SergioBarten]

Kahn wasn't even the best of his generation.

what are you talking about??? best goalkeeper in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. THE BEST GOALKEEPER EVER.

I like the idea of this poll, but the choice list is strange... 3 Americans (2 of which are on past peak) plus BartHez thrown in??!

If you meant "best in the world" then I don't think these 4 would honestly make the top 10. I like Tim Howard... maybe he'd have a chance of making the top 10 if he brought his game up a notch in quality & consistency.

Maybe there should be a new thread made ("Best Keeper II") with a list of 10 serious contenders, including obvious front-runners like Buffon & Cech.

The problem w/ such a poll is that it's biased towards the leagues who get the most TV time, like EPL & Serie A.

Please note that it's also 4 years old

Aha... obviously did NOT notice that!! Seems a little absurd that a poll thread entitled "best goalkeeper right now" would still be open for voting 3 years later.

But at least that puts the list in context. Howard was at ManU, Barthez having just been ousted. Keller was at So'ton & Friedel was closer to his peak at Rovers.

One funny thing. If you Wikipedia Barthez it says his full name = "Worst goalkeeper alive". VERY funny... not too far from the truth.

Anyway I like the idea for the thread but I think it should be wiped and started afresh w/ 5-10 serious choices.
