You can't really go wrong with Yashin as the best because he set the standard for modern goalkeepers but for me Neuer is the best ever who should've been the second ever balon d'or goalkeeper in 2014.

I liked the list, I just didn't understand if it's the best goalkeepers in general or by the FIFA cards because then I think Rogério Ceni would be missing who even though he was a goalkeeper managed to score 131 goals in his career.

[@c.miguell.g8138]

Casillas so far away from Neur an Buffon feels wrong to me. In Casillas prime (2007-2012) he was better than both, and he is the most succesfull in terms of titles (3UCL, 1Wc, 2 Euros) Not saying his the best, but its close for sure.

"It can no longer be ignored that Lev Yashin is the greatest goalkeeper of all time." - I don't think anyone has ever been ignoring that, except for the simple fact that only few of us have ever seen him play because he was active way back 60 years ago. What I like about Gigi Buffon is that not only is he a great goalkeeper but he is also an role model for great sportsmanship. It is almost ironic that he, of all people, would have been playing for the most corrupt joint on this planet named Juventus.

[@stephengrant7601]

There is no debate about Lev Yashin

[@click8708]

Real Madrid are the corruption kings and Juventus aren't even the most corrupt team in Italy, AC Milan are. AC Milan were the masterminds along with Juventus but avoided punishment due to them being owned by Silvio Berlusconi, one of the most powerful men in Italy and eventual ruler of Italy. But maybe that's just paranoid conspiracy nonsense eh?

[@johnjim6793]

@@click8708 I'm certainly not having a juvenile discussion about wether Juventus is the most corrupt or "only" the third most corrupt football team on the planet. That "Look what THEY did!" argument is the criminal persons' translation for "Look how desperately I am trying to deflect from my own criminal actions by pointing my finger at others."

this video is impeccably made. although i could not disagree more, a fantastic video nevertheless.

[@dronesclubhighjinks]

Great video! I've watched most of the top 10 play and would have been able to tell you what country they played for. I'll admit I've never even heard of your number one pick because he played before I was born.... all right, he was born in 1929 so that would be multiple decades before my time. Yes, I could have read a football history book so I have no excuse, I know. Thanks for explaining why they were great and what else happened in their lives. If I may offer a suggestion, when you named the first group - numbers 20 through 11 - if you could say the country they played for and/or their club team(s), and in which years they played, that would be helpful. Otoh if this is all completely common knowledge to most fans, then ignore the suggestion, and tell me to educate myself. 😂 Your graphics and editing are really outstanding. It could be shown on a television channel and nobody would guess that a football fan KZbinr made it. One would assume that a professional employee, who is paid by the owners of the channel, made it. although it's a fairly safe bet that such an employee would actually be a sports fan. Great job! Thank you! I'm forwarding it to my friends!

It is necessary to underline the good work that you put in your videos on the graphics and the staging but afterwards I am sorry to tell you but your ranking of the first 2 Top 20 are not good. Casillas in the 9th is an insult, he has plenty to be in the top 3 whether by his performances, his titles won and his outstanding skills as goalkeepers, even Buffon himself considers Casillas as a goalkeeper superior to him.

[@user-xy9bm2nr2m]

[@carlose.barroeta9550]

[@ribnik4147]

The greatest goalkeeper was Vladimir Beara from Croatia (at that time Yugoslavia). Even Yashin said that Beara was greater then him.

[@user-es6xo1ls4q]

[@johndelarue10]

It is a good list. This coming from a goalkeeper for over 25 years. I have seen everybody in live action except for Yashin and Marzukewicz. Every decade had its hero. To me it was Dasejew (or Dasaev), who copied a lot the style from th no.1 on the list. But I understand the ranking. I am missing Michel Preud'homme (a better goalkeeper than some on the list) , jan tomaszewski (Poland) and Thomas N'kono (the best Africa ever had). Good thing there is no room for clowns like Chilavert or Higuita.

[@dugaemin]

I neither have your experience as a spectator (83 I've seen my first matches) nor on the pitch (only played in Juniors as a GK for about 8 years). Nevertheless I always had a soft spot for the GKs and watched them closer than most fieldplayers. And I agree with you that most of the names in this fine Top20 that I've seen play, would make my list too. My initial thoughts going through the list were, Dasajev too low, and Preud'homme missing as well. As Dasajev was a childhood hero of mine, I thought I might can't rank him properly. Glad somebody knowledgeable agrees with me. Another guy from this era I liked alot and would consider Top20 is Hans van Breukelen. It's tough to judge a player fairly, you've only seen play beyond his prime. Probably N'Kono and certainly Shilton would fall into this category for me. Shilton, I only remember as old, slow and being in general terribly unathletic. He wouldn't make my personal Top100. And Im certainly way off about that in the big picture. One thing that always puzzles my a bit when I see these alltime GK rankings is, why is Casillas mostly ranked extremely high? (Nr.9 is already quite modest) I don't want to put Casillas down. It's a genuine question. I mean he was a very good GK, but just not Top15 for me. He surely has all the trophies. And in his prime fast, mobile, agile, excellent reflexes and a very good jumper. But physically not strong enough and too light and thus not stable enough in the air to savely catch high balls in high traffic situations with risk of body contact, despite being such a good jumper. Which quite often lead to chaotic situations. Not unlike Barthez. For me he always had troubles to install this aura of total bossing of his zone, where every challenge has to be well though of, or the physical price you pay could be severe. IMO a must to be considered among the very, very best. Quite a few GKs in his time were better footballers too IIRC. Do you agree, partly or fully? Or am I totally off?
