Ok, Add C. Keller (USA)
I didn't see him play much, but he had some incredible saves against Italy.

Wow, no Peter Schmeichel or Chilavert in their top threes? What about Taffarael? That guy could stop the penalty like no one else.
By the way, please don't mention Lev Yashin. That guy already has an award for GKs named after him. That's how great he was.

Wow this is gonna be a tough one to pick the best answers. I mean, all the goalkeepers people listed were great. Anyhow, since someone mentioned about watching Schmeichel, Chilavert keep, then I will provide them.

Jose Luis Chilavert (one keeping, tons of freekick taking)

Add the legendary Black Spider: Lev Yashin

Peter Schmeichel:

Sorry, a little bad job doing cut and pasting there. The first video was for Schmeichel.
By the way, just a little fact, Yashin stopped over 150 pk. There aren't much videos to show, but people had seen him play were all amazed.

Glad someone added Gordon Banks...

I'm glad you asked this question; goalkeepers are an integral part of any team despite often not recieving credit for their contributions.
Well, I'll just name current ones since I've only recently become interested.
Petr Cech--he's supposedly the best in the world, I didn't get to see him play though. Anyway, he's only 24, still got lots of room for growth.
Ricardo of Portugal--that guy was really the hero of the Portugal-England match--he could predict the direction of penalty kicks aimed at him. Just so well. And in the game against France--it was funny to see the Goalkeeper run out onto the field with the rest of them, I thought it was a good effort on his part though he was really pretty useless.
Buffon of Italy--of course. What a great keeper. I also happen to admire his decision to stay with Juventus, he wanted help the club that made him a star. I thought it was very generous of him, very sporting.
Lehmann--I thought he did really well.
Kahn--I hear that he's good. Also, he managed to get over his disappointment at not being able to play--remember the pep-talk he gave to Lehmann before the penalty shoot-out against Argentina? Pure class.
Oh well, that's all I can name now. Pity about Barthez really; he did so badly.
