QUOTE(skylinegtr34rule4life @ Jan 14 2008, 12:37 AM) between casillas and buffon, i will take buffon any time little info about buffon.. QUOTE Buffon was awarded his first cap for Italy when he was only 19 years old, as an injury replacement for Gianluca Pagliuca during a 1998 FIFA World Cup play-off against Russia. He was called up for the 1998 World Cup finals, but did not play a single game as Pagliuca remained first choice. He was a member of the Italy squad at the 1996 Summer Olympics, the 2002 World Cup and Euro 2004. He kept seven clean sheets in addition to a 453-minute scoreless streak during the 2006 World Cup finals; the only goals conceded were an own goal from teammate Cristian Zaccardo against the United States, and a Zinedine Zidane penalty in the final against France, which ended scoreless in extra time and led to a penalty shootout in which neither Buffon or Fabien Barthez could make a save. The lone miss was David Trezeguet's effort that clanged off the bottom of the crossbar and failed to cross the line, which enabled Italy to emerge victorious. Buffon received the Yashin Award for his accomplishments throughout the competition.

To me, it's gotta be between casillas and cech. I'm tilting towards cech due to his crazy aerial ability when dealing with crosses and corners. Then again casillas is nuts when it comes to 1v1... Tough choice but going with cech mayb cause get to watch him more... Lol...

Buffon named all-time Number One
Tuesday 15 January, 2008 According to the IFFHS institute of football statistics, Gianluigi Buffon is the greatest goalkeeper of the last 20 years. The International Federation of Football History and Statistics made the announcement today after collating its latest figures that crown the Juventus goalkeeper best of 2007. Buffon tops the all-time charts - although the IFFHS only began its calculations from its inception in 1987 - on 69 points along with former Manchester United and Denmark shot-stopper Peter Schmeichel. Germany's Oliver Kahn is in third place on 62 points, followed by Jose Luis Chilavert of Paraguay (58) and ex-Inter and Italy goallie Walter Zenga (55). Edwin Van Der Sar, Belgium's Michel Preud-homme, Brazilian ex-Parma goalkeeper Claudio Taffarel and David Seaman complete the top 10. Other Serie A based entries include Milan's Nelson Dida in 13th position on 35 points, Inter benchwarmer Francesco Toldo in 20th alongside German Andreas Kopke, Gianluca Pagliuca in 22nd and Angelo Peruzzi in 32nd place on equal points with Jens Lehmann. The IFFHS plans a gala in 2012 to mark '25 Years of World Goalkeepers.' » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

The post you entered in was too short. You must have at least 10 character(s) in your post before it will get posted. |

Yes he did have one good World Cup but to rank him ahead of Pagliuca or Peruzzi? Nice to see Preud-homme up there but I'm curious as to where the likes of Zubizaretta, Ravelli and Shilton rank. |

Yup, that and you also have Rogerio Cherni who scores goals. What about Jorge Campos who used to play outfield?

Maybe can throw in Robbo in the mix if you guys are talking about keeper that can score. After all he scored well over 60 yards last season against Watford in the league.
