Goalkeepers are the last defence in he football game. Hinges of the team’s fortunes depend on their performance.
Showing top 5 goalkeepers by whom we will be seen action in this FIFA world Cup. Reflexes of breathtaking and the ability of them to catch the nerve in crunch situations separates
them from the rest. Over to the shot- stoppers.








Iker Casillas - Spain

Age- 29
Height- 5 ft 11.5 inches
Club- Real Madrid International
debut- 2000 Caps- 103

DESPITE Real Madrid’s ability to self- destruct, The man who, throughout all of this, has remained consistent is Iker Casillas. The breathtaking saves, speed, reflexes and the ability to read the opponent movement
set him a notch within rest.

Iker Casillas shown for club and country bothly, helping Spain to the top of European football fromntwo years back. The fans of him & in his club called ‘ Saint Iker’ — very fondly.


And that would cement his place among the greats of the game.




Gianluigi Buffon - Italy

Age: 32
Height: 6 ft 3 inches
Club: Juventus International
debut: 1997 Caps: 100



Gianluigi Buffon played a pivotal role by which Italy won the last World Cup & will have to be at his best if the Azzuri featly repeat . But age, injury and poor form seems to be affected his performance. But as they say, cometh the hour, cometh the man, so ‘ Gigi’ can’t be ruled out untill FIFA final .






Julio Cesar - Brazil

Age- 30
Height- 6 ft 1 inch
Club- Internazionale International
debut- 2004 Caps- 47

Brilliant outfield players alawys produce by BRAZIL. But rarely Brazil produced a keeper of the class of Julio Cesar. If his club form is anything to go by — he braved a car accident and facial injuries
to defy Barcelona in the Champions League semi- finals — Dunga has many reason to feel pleased.

Julio Cesar brilliant in oneon- one situations and the guts to go for the impossible by him. Having won European club football’s most coveted trophy, he is out of thinking in the world.

Mark Schwarzer - Aus

Age: 37 

Height: 6 ft 4.5 inches 

Club: Fulham International

debut: 1993 Caps: 73

 

WHILE football is considered to be a young man’s game, one man who has rewritten this regulation is Mark Schwazer. The 37- year- old has re- invented himself with age . He has unfinished business having failed to save a penalty in the 2006 World Cup against Italy which sent Australia out of the event.

 

Australia goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer believes the key to coping with the controversial balls to be used at the World Cup will be to remain calm after admitting to struggling with them during yesterday's 1-0 warm-up win over Denmark.

 

Schwarzer found it difficult to judge the flight of the ball at corners and also misjudged a back-pass in the first half which almost gave the Danes a rare sight on goal.

 

 With rumours rife that Arsene Wenger plans  to sign him for Arsenal in the next season, the World Cup will provide him another incentive to show his true class.





Tim Howard - USA

Age- 31
Height- 6 ft 3 inches
Club-
Everton International
debut- 2002 Caps- 50

He might be representing the United States — a country more known for its love of basketball, baseball and its own version of the football — in the World Cup, but Howard is one player who excels on the big stage. He will also have good memories of South Africa where he won the Golden Glove award for the best goalkeeper at the 2009 Confederations Cup. This will only add to his confidence.
Seven players in the 30-man preliminary U.S. roster play professionally in England. On June 12, the United States will kick off its 2010 World Cup campaign against that very nation.
