YESS top 10 keeper in the world

No he isn't, no where close to top 10. He lost his job at Arsenal to Manuel Almunia who can't even get a call up from Spain.

He is a decent keeper but in his games over the past year he has made A LOT of mistakes. He is ok, more likely to lose you a game than win you one.

There are easily 10, maybe 20 keepers in the world better than he is.

he Certainly is not top 15...and thats enough said. without a question hes not in top 15, and so its up for argument if he is top 20, top 25, etc. and he's old.

in contrast, Spain's GK is #1 in the world imo. certainly top 3. i watch a TON of real madrid and they score so many goals his great play sometimes gets lost in the shuffle

Iker Cassilas is not bad, but no way he is the best goalie in the world.
Buffon is still one of the best, Andre Boruc is also better than Casillas.

It's Arthur Boruc, and I consider him the best goalie in the tournament. This guy was the only reason that Poland didn't lose every game by more than three goals. He was the only guy that played in the games. He had like 20 significant touches on the ball when they played Austria. This guy is a beast. But when it comes to the matchup between Lehmann and Casillas, Casillas is obviously superior. Lehmann looks weaks and nervous in goal. He had two horrible goals scored on him against Turkey. Almost everytime that Turkey got a decent shot on target, the ball went in because Lehmann sucks. I honestly think the Final is going to suck (I hate Spain's type of play), but Spain will probably win because they have a strong defense and Germany's offenders are weak. Let's be honest - Maurio Gomes is complete shit. Hinklsperger, that guy is worse than anyone I've seen playing in a while. Podolski is on the wing so he has to continue playing the ball into the middle to get it off Klose's amazing header or Schweignsteiger. Sergio Ramos and Puyol will put these men down. And well then in the front, David Villa and Cesc Fabregas are going to kill it. Overall I think Spain will win and the game will go under 2.5. Good luck.

I'm a fan of Buffon. I used to think he was #1 in the world. However, I have second thoughts because of his performance in these Euros.

You're crazy bro, Gianluigi was brilliant in the Euros. He bailed an injury/yellow carded defense out many of time. Don't forget the PK in the 2nd half against Romania, which was the best keeper save i've seen in a long time.

I love Madrid, but Casillas is probably the 2nd or 3rd best keeper in the world.

And Boruc?

LOL.

I agree with all of that. I have Lehmann listed as a weakness for Germany and o question Casillas is Much better.

Boruc is my fav keeper as ell. He was excellent for poland like you said. He mde some huge savs for them

No and he's a complete prick to boot.

Boruc is a legend.

What about cech and van der sar? A couple of bad breaks in the Euro and we forget them? Quim is also pretty good but he got hurt so he couldn't play for Portugal.

Cech has not been the same since Hunt kicked him in the head and Van Der Saar is wayyyyyyyyyy over rated.
 

OTK

A goal without a plan is just a wish.

He is not good at all. He doesn't even seem that confident in net. I would say Casillas is the top keeper in the world, so Spain has a huge advantage there. I think Germany has the better overall team though, so I see this as a close game that could go either way.

As for Buffon I don't have him in my top 3. I personally like Casillas, Boruc, Van der sar and Cech more, but that is just my opinion.
