Goalkeepers: Ranked

The 10 best netminders in world football as of right now:

1. Casillas
2. Buffon
3. Julio Cesar
4. Van der Sar
5. Frey
6. Cech
7. Reina
8. Boruc
9. Howard
10. Diego Lopez

Casillas edges Buffon due to injuries, recent form, and fantastic reflexes. In the history books, however, the GREATEST GOALKEEPER OF ALL TIME goes to Gianluigi Buffon-- yeah, he's that good. Schmeichel and Banks have nothing on him. In fact, only Yashin even comes close, and even then Buffon might have him beaten.

SPECIAL MENTION: The most talented up and coming goalkeeper I have seen is Arsenal's young Vito Mannone. This kid is fucking AMAZING. Reflexes like a cat, great positioning, great leadership and composure, and he's only 21. Legend in the making- you heard it here first.
