    I am very surprised that the name Reina doesnt come up more often. For me it's a toss up between him and Buffon.

    Reina is not even the goalkeeper for his country. He is behind Casillas, who is the superior goalkeeper and Canizares.

    The best in the game;

    1. Gianluigi Buffon
    2. Íker Casillas
    3. Petr Cech
    4. Oswaldo Sánchez
    5. Grégory Coupet

    I think Buffon, Cech and Casillas are in a league of their own. After that it all depends on current form.

    Boruc is clearly not the best in the world.

    Sebastian Frey is a class above all keepers except Buffon. His reflex is out of this world.

    Just like any other rankings that have "the best" in the opening title, this thread is pointless, if not dumb. We all have a different notion of "the best." If anything, it should be "Who's YOUR favorite goalkeeper in the world." There are a lot of world class keepers out there, and soccer is a team game, not individual sport like boxing where it can (also arguably) be argued that someone is the best in the world at this time if he holds the title.

    What a horrible poll.

    Best in the world is definitely Buffon.

    Keep the shite coming Bhoy. He wasn't even the best keeper in Scotland until Gordon moved out, let alone in Britain or Europe or the rest of the World. He's an above average shot stopper and good at saving penalties but so is Reina and he isn't in the top five either. Oh, and the above is how you quote a post. It's rather simple. :rolleyes:

    Boruc is world class without a doubt. I'm surprised you live in Scotland and argue otherwise. Your post is also a further proof that this poll is meaningless. You throw names around that YOU think are better or best, but it is only your subjective opinion and carries as much weight as anybody else's or even less if you're being an a-hole to another member. Look back at the posts and see how many names have already been mentioned. There is no objective criteria that can possibly be used to judge a goalkeeper. How many goals he allowed is as much a function of his ability as of the performance of the defensive players, to keep a simple argument. Ability to stop PKs is arguably more objective but it's only a relatively small part of a keeper's overall value.

    Hahahahahahahaha! You slay me!
    Buffon is the man, Coupet 2, Freidel 3, Casillas4.
    Cech was 2 until his injury
