Best keeper in the 2014 World Cup so far?

[Zamboor]

Howards preformance vs Belgium was SICK!

i think most of you guys are over looking the costa rican gk navas... that guy is a huge boss and imho the best keeper in this competition . it was his save in the pk's against greece to take costa rica to the quarters plus his group was stronger than howards.. italy, england and Uruguay! so i would go with navas

[Damavand]

Ochoa, Howard, and to be fair Enyeama really saved Nigeria many times over. To be fair, Howard's performance against Belgium was one of if not the best I've seen in any game ever.



Isn't Howard already at Everton?

I meant offers from bigger teams.

NAVAS THE COSTA RICOS GOALIE IS THE MOST INTELLIGENT GOAL KEEPER OF WORLD CUP......HE KNOWS HOW TO COVER THE GOAL.....HE IS ALSO FEARLESS AND QUICK......sorry about the caps...i am on my cell and it locked up

[Club monaco]

Neuer
Navas
Howard

I agree...I think he is truely the best keeper in this tournamont and beyond.....if all attributes of a goalie are appraised in him ...he won't be beat....................there are a lot of goalies with quick reactions and saves ,such as .one on one like howard.....but there are many other factors that make a goalie good......such as knowing when to come out of goal and when not to.....when to punch and when to grab..etc.etc...It is goalies like him with good eye and where to cover.....with his ability to know the players and where they aim....i think he may have even saved the shot messi made on Iran's goal......as he covers the difficult areas and not just shot aimed at him ....he covers hard to reach areas, because that is where good strikers aim for....not thr center of the goal...

there is no competition .... it is Neuer all the way

Not really. He was only challenged a few times today although he responded well. Nothing too outstanding.

he is the complete package and then some more.

Just watch the Germany-Algeria game and the number of times he exits the goal and with accuracy. Not a single time was he called for a foul. Like it was mentioned before, he is a GK and a sweeper. The German defense had the luxury of playing close to the midfield only because of Neuer.

He's good but this World Cup has seen better keepers.

[OFFSIDE_1]

Neuer just won the best GK of the tournament

Neuer just won the best GK of the tournament

Yeah, I guess he just nudged his way in, got a shut out in the final and his team won, so I dont think anyone would really disagree .
