Pretty much in that order too. Even though I would put Neuer first. Kahn number 4. Would have been No1 had he won the 2002 WC. Golden Ball for a goalkeeper is immense.

If this list wasn't from 2000 onwards, I'd have put big Peter Schmeichel in there with those 3 along with Cech

​@@Walshy94 bro said schmeichel😂😂😂

​@@sithvsjedi9696 casillas is the best

@@Walshy94 1990 onwards? Schmeichel no doubt. Cech and Kahn would fight for a place in the top 5.

Pov: you don’t know ball

@@bofadeligma7939 the only ball you know is your boyfriend's

A "Goalkeeper" isn't defined by how high up he could play or how comfortable he was on the ball, they are defined by the saves they made. No doubt in terms of goal-saving ability, Neuer is one of the greatest, but Buffon is better than Neuer for me.

Yashin did it first

POV: u born in the 00's or even 10's you never actually watched other greats play 😂😂

IMHO, Keylor Navas is pretty much the Rodney Dangerfield of keepers. Arguably the best keeper EVER in CONCACAF, here's a guy who's won pretty much everything at club level, but keeps on getting pushed aside for the new-shiny even though at his current age, he's still a top-level keeper with at least two more seasons of elite-level play left in him. Don't get me wrong, Courtois was an upgrade at Real, but that's like upgrading from a Bentley to a Rolls. Or what have you. Navas landed on his feet at PSG, but again he got pushed aside for the new-shiny when PSG signed Donnarumma, and nothing against him, but Donnarumma's only advantage over Navas is his age, and now Navas is in a relegation scrap with Forest, and will be out of contract at the end of the season. If he chooses to stay in Europe after this season, I can't imagine he'll be out of contract for too long, even if it is just for another year or two. Oh, and for those who don't know who Rodney Dangerfield is, just search him on KZfaq. Absolutely timeless comedy.

@@BroadwayJoe99 Tell that to the Mexican media, they insist that Memo Ochoa from Mexico is better even though the most Ochoa has won is the Gold Cup. Those who live in North America know that the Gold Cup is worthless when only Mexico and the United States make the finals, sometimes in dubious ways **cough**MARK GEIGER**cough**. Ochoa has otherwise no accomplishments as big as Keylor's, who won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, the Champions League and the Club World Cup on several occasions at Real Madrid, even though since joining Real Madrid, Florentino tried to pull the rug away from him. He played in three World Cups for Costa Rica (which is a record and includes the legendary quarterfinals run in 2014), and was even a remote contender to join Bayern München to replace the injured Neuer (before they decided on Yann Sommer). Hell, even before joining Real Madrid he got third place at the Club World Cup with his Costa Rican youth club Saprissa in 2005, the only Central American squad to accomplish this. The Argentine manager Ricardo La Volpe pointed that out recently. Keylor is indeed the greatest goalie of all time in CONCACAF. His age is catching up with him, and he could ironically join Club América (Ochoa's former team) in Mexico as he will eventually wind down his career, but his accolades cannot be denied.

@@bundesautobahn7 Memo Ochoa is very good, but I wouldn't even rate him as the second-best active keeper in CONCACAF. IMHO, Andre Blake is better than Ochoa. A CONCACAF top three would be Navas, Blake, and Ochoa. At this moment I'm not even sure there's an active American keeper that could crack that top three, though I think Gaga Slonina could get there in the next five to ten years with enough high-level experience at club and International level.

​@@BroadwayJoe99 If you ever got to know the Mexican media, particularly Fox Sports México or ESPN Deportes, they are very delusional, one of their reporters I feel is even racist towards Central America. And if you as a Mexican don't make it to the EPL or La Liga in Europe and end up e.g. "only" in the Bundesliga, you're labeled a failure by the aforementioned racist journalist, the same (also by the FMF and the clubs from Liga MX albeit more passive-aggressive by them) if after only a short time you return from Europe, you'd be treated as a disgrace. That mythical fifth match they always strive to make at each and every World Cup, they haven't reached it since losing to West Germany in 1986, not to mention that they didn't even make the fourth match in Qatar last year. People here in Costa Rica just shook their heads when the media in Mexico claimed Ochoa was better than Navas.

@@bundesautobahn7 not true because for some reason many Mexican fans don’t rate Ochoa. In my opinion Ochoa is Mexico’s greatest but that’s because MX hasn’t had great GKs like that(as much as they’ll argue about it). But when talking about CONCACAF for me it isn’t even arguable, it is DEFINITELY Navas. No GK in the región has ever accomplished or even come close to what he has accomplished.

Shouldn’t need a “thanks” IMO. He more than deserves his spot. Personally I’d have De Gea over Courtois. I don’t know whatDe Gea did to offend Luis Enrique, but he’s still the best keeper Spain have despite not being capped since 2020. It’s farcical that he’s not even in Spain squads any more. If not for Casillas, he’dcomfortably be lauded as Spain’s best keeper in living memory.

Flack, not slack.

@@ck867 De Gea loves making saves look so dramatic.

overrated as fuck by man united fans😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

​@@ck867De Gea was absolute trash in the 2018 world cup. Having him over Courtois is absolutely mad, never did anything in Champions league, while Thibaut was the best player alongside Benzema. Oblak and Ter Stegen are clear of De Gea

131 goals as a goalie.

True, but Buffon was also a part of those defences. A leader among men.

@@dylanmascetta3378 Again keep in mind that me saying that he had a good defense and what so is just me trying to make an arrangement why he is the N.2 goalkeeper of the past 25 years Not that he is "bad" or "not that good" He is absolutely terrific Just think Manuel is more impressive

​@@ahmedal-zamzami9683 and he also faced beasts like r9, Batistuta, baggio, crespo, totti. While neuers hardest striker was lewa who became his teammate at how many years, aubameyang which doesn't come close to the strikers buffon had to deal with and a young haaland. If you also check their saves % buffon saves more a game and concedes lesser. And that's only old buffon💀 never mention his prime vs neuer

Good shout, I didn't even think about him.

Yeah he’s an honourable mention

Handanovic should be a honorable mention too imo

@@Biondominato nah he’s definitely not good enough. He’s a very good goalkeeper who’s got a great penalty saving record but overall he’s never been a truly outstanding goalkeeper, whereas all the other goalkeepers have been at some point been in consideration as being the best in the world in their time. (Or in the case of Akinfeev and Ochoa, almost exclusively during World Cups.)

​@kendrick6740 no man, Handanovic was world class in some of the worst Inter teams of all time. You underrate him because he never became a renowned keeper, which is fair, but has nothing to do with his lack of skill and everything to do with his abysmal supporting cast.

People seem to think that it's still 2019 De Gea playing when he's been incredible this season and the last

He is back to his best since last season in terms of his shot stopping, last season he and Ronaldo carried the team and this season he is among the most best shot stoppers in the league.. the only thing that will always be criticized is his ability on the ball which is equally important for keepers nowadays.. but he still is the best in terms of reflexes and positioning to make last ditch saves..

It felt like he singlehandedly kept us up at times, seriously a one man defence at times

But according to Arsenal fans, their relegation merchant goalie is better 😂

@@afellownerd what is truly sad is how a large portion of Manchester United fans absolutely despise him. Ignore all the positive performances and just clip any pass he misplaces. is shot stopping is still great and his overall game has definitely improved.

Why? He’s a Russian league merchant

Karius did one better and went all the way to the final, golden glove and all

Past his prime or not, I didn't even think he was that bad at Watford? I can remember him making some magnificent saves.

And he got Watford to an FA cup final. Heurelho was a decent goalkeeper

Aw Bramble wasn’t so bad, just had a silly name. If his name was Will Johnson he wouldn’t get nearly as much stick 😅

@@gofannon1943 I have to disagree there, but I think we can both agree that Jean-Alain Boumsong was a total waste of space - and Given was often stuck behind both of them at the same time. =]

Was hoping to see a Given shout. Prob my Irish bias but he really was class

It's a shame he had his career run down by politics, while watching through highlights he impressed me during the 2018 WC

​@@Giooseb What politics ?

@@Giooseb are you talking about the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Because if not I didn’t realize there was any politics involved in his career?

I love Thiago Silva but how is he the current gen player you would include out of all the choices you had. Surely Messi walks into any team at this point and you could include any CB from back in the day.

Ee

@@areebsiddiqui758 Lionel Messi debuted for Argentina in 2005, so if you put him in you'd need to remove both Oliver Kahn and Thiago Silva. If you can come up with a better XI (with historically great players in all positions, not just forwards and midfielders) while including Lionel Messi, by all means go ahead and create it.

Jens Lehmann? He even scored two goals during his tenure at Schalke 04 (one via penalty, and in 1997 he became the first goalie in the Bundesliga to score a regular field goal).

I was shocked that Lehmann didn't get a mention

Is keylor seen as a hero out in Costa Rica?

@@tommyvinceze6249 Well, three World Cups including the legendary 2014 quarterfinals run, winning everything there is to win during his time at Real Madrid, sweeping through Ligue 1 with PSG, even making third place at the Club World Cup with his former club Saprissa... I'd say: Yes, he's pretty much a national hero and in Costa Rica and as goalie in CONCACAF, you could call him the GOAT.

NEUER WAS AND IS A JOY TO WATCH

💀

If DeBruyne is not first on the list then who is? (he commented hoping to continue a thread until Alfie notices it)

@@bumblethebeadle3504 Iniesta might be slightly better for the 2010s.

Van der Sar was a honorable mention

@@AzureKite he's far better than getting a honorable mention, I could accept vincent Enyeama as Honorable mention

Both. I think Vulkan came earlier and later he became Titan.

@Rest in peace bro he was called the Vulkan in German media a lot.

@Rest in peace bro and my experience was that he was often called Vulkan,or Vulkahn

I have been around from his very beginning. And I have never heard Vulcano either.

100% with buffon in 2006 yeah.

okay and neuer should have won it in 2014

To add some facts: In 4 seasons in the league he conceded 90 goals or about 0.5-0.6 per game. The next best team during that period (Ajax) conceded 154. Gomes was literally the difference during those 4 seasons. In 2007-2008 for instance Ajax outscored PSV by 29 goals but conceded 21 more.

Came here to say this. Plus he captained (and was the main player) of an all-conquering brazilian side in the 2000s (São Paulo) and kept playing, sometimes really well, up until he was 42 in 2015

Maqwell already made a video that's comprehensive enough on the Berhalter scandal. Watch that instead. Rest all are good suggestions.

but hes not really a great keeper tbh

😇
