    Buffon is on his own planet when it comes to Goalkeepers....honestly!

    Buffon is #1

    Then there are a few goalkeepers who occupy the #2-#5 spots and my picks would be: Dida, Peter Cech, Francesco Toldo, and Oilver Kahn.

    I you said Francesco Toldo 4 years ago i would agree but he's not at his best now. Any MLS goalkeeper is NOT the best in the world. Tim Howard plays with Man U so you can't use him to argue.

    I agree with you, except that I would put Edwin Van der Saar in the top five. Petr Cech is very talented but needs to prove himself to be consistently good at the highest level. He has time to do so.

    Tough choice between Keller, Friedel, and Howard.

    With all the quality goalkeepers in Europe why would anyone pick an American goalkeeper (except for Tim Howard).

    This poll is a joke, how can you have a best goalkeeper poll and not include Buffon. What a joke, he is in his own league. This summer I was in Portugal and I talked to many football fans from all countries and we would talk about who was the best this or that or fastest or whatever. As for goalkeepers, everyone, and I mean everyone from all countries told me that Buffon was #1 hands down and that he is in his own league. I know Buffon was the best in the world already but I didn't think everyone in Europe thought he was that far ahead of all other goalkeepers.

    I've seen Buffon play way too many times to conclude that he's not the best. No, it's not sarcasm.

    I like the way Jens Lehmann plays with Arsenal but I can't call him the best. Howard is the best american goalkeeper but not the best in the world. I'm going to have to go with Buffon.
