    Another great belgian goalkeeper, too bad he was part of Standard Liège but no one is perfect.

    i feel like Italy and Spain should also be mentioned.

    also for me France, lama and lloris are great(not as good as the legends from other countries) and Barthez is for some reason a goalkeeper i really liked

    Really? Thought Brazil was all-hype from the start and don't feel they proved me wrong. No surprise to me they fly home after the quarters.

    tbh I've never heard of sougthgate prior to this world cup. looked him up and it turns out he was a player for mediocre teams back in the day. was he even good?

    Lol Mourinho was a nobody player, Southgate was a national team player.

    He was a youth player, yup, lacked the pace to turn pro.

    You’re not counting the guys holding their families hostage. So it’s like 11 v 25.

    Man, the Croat goalie didn't even try to to go after that shot.

    They are not taking PEDs to bulk up they are talking them like Armstrong to provide endless energy -- they do have a lot of tall players.
