Pretty much in that order too. Even though I would put Neuer first. Kahn number 4. Would have been No1 had he won the 2002 WC. Golden Ball for a goalkeeper is immense.
Met Petr Cech at cobham in the summer of 2010 while on a training camp there. We were doing some shooting drills and I hit a really good strike that went in. And out of nowere you hear someone yell "i would have saved that" then we see it's Cech doing some rehab jogging around the facilities. A bit later he came over and gave our goalkeepers some advice and watched us for about half an hour or so and took some photos and had a chat overall being a top lad. Probably one of the funniest most genuine footballers i've met.
A "Goalkeeper" isn't defined by how high up he could play or how comfortable he was on the ball, they are defined by the saves they made. No doubt in terms of goal-saving ability, Neuer is one of the greatest, but Buffon is better than Neuer for me.
Thanks for putting De Gea in the list. Gets a lot of slack from our fanbase at times but we true Man Utd fans have appreciated him immensely. Without a doubt a legend at the club.
Shouldn’t need a “thanks” IMO. He more than deserves his spot. Personally I’d have De Gea over Courtois. I don’t know whatDe Gea did to offend Luis Enrique, but he’s still the best keeper Spain have despite not being capped since 2020. It’s farcical that he’s not even in Spain squads any more. If not for Casillas, he’dcomfortably be lauded as Spain’s best keeper in living memory.
@@ck867De Gea was absolute trash in the 2018 world cup. Having him over Courtois is absolutely mad, never did anything in Champions league, while Thibaut was the best player alongside Benzema. Oblak and Ter Stegen are clear of De Gea
I think Keylor Navas would feature in a top 10. His technique in nets is really impressive and what he’s been able to achieve is even more so when you take his height into consideration. As a GK, when I watch Navas the way he plays completely outdoes at the very least every other current Premier League keeper. You get a sense with every goal he concedes that nobody else would really be able to save it.
IMHO, Keylor Navas is pretty much the Rodney Dangerfield of keepers. Arguably the best keeper EVER in CONCACAF, here's a guy who's won pretty much everything at club level, but keeps on getting pushed aside for the new-shiny even though at his current age, he's still a top-level keeper with at least two more seasons of elite-level play left in him. Don't get me wrong, Courtois was an upgrade at Real, but that's like upgrading from a Bentley to a Rolls. Or what have you. Navas landed on his feet at PSG, but again he got pushed aside for the new-shiny when PSG signed Donnarumma, and nothing against him, but Donnarumma's only advantage over Navas is his age, and now Navas is in a relegation scrap with Forest, and will be out of contract at the end of the season. If he chooses to stay in Europe after this season, I can't imagine he'll be out of contract for too long, even if it is just for another year or two. Oh, and for those who don't know who Rodney Dangerfield is, just search him on UA-cam. Absolutely timeless comedy.
@@BroadwayJoe99 Tell that to the Mexican media, they insist that Memo Ochoa from Mexico is better even though the most Ochoa has won is the Gold Cup. Those who live in North America know that the Gold Cup is worthless when only Mexico and the United States make the finals, sometimes in dubious ways **cough**MARK GEIGER**cough**. Ochoa has otherwise no accomplishments as big as Keylor's, who won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, the Champions League and the Club World Cup on several occasions at Real Madrid, even though since joining Real Madrid, Florentino tried to pull the rug away from him. He played in three World Cups for Costa Rica (which is a record and includes the legendary quarterfinals run in 2014), and was even a remote contender to join Bayern München to replace the injured Neuer (before they decided on Yann Sommer). Hell, even before joining Real Madrid he got third place at the Club World Cup with his Costa Rican youth club Saprissa in 2005, the only Central American squad to accomplish this. The Argentine manager Ricardo La Volpe pointed that out recently. Keylor is indeed the greatest goalie of all time in CONCACAF. His age is catching up with him, and he could ironically join Club América (Ochoa's former team) in Mexico as he will eventually wind down his career, but his accolades cannot be denied.
@@bundesautobahn7 Memo Ochoa is very good, but I wouldn't even rate him as the second-best active keeper in CONCACAF. IMHO, Andre Blake is better than Ochoa. A CONCACAF top three would be Navas, Blake, and Ochoa. At this moment I'm not even sure there's an active American keeper that could crack that top three, though I think Gaga Slonina could get there in the next five to ten years with enough high-level experience at club and International level.

Thank you for putting some respect on De Gea's name. People seem to forget just how incredible he was especially during the Van Gaal period. Still keeps his team in the hunt and secures points with some special saves almost every game.👑👑
He is back to his best since last season in terms of his shot stopping, last season he and Ronaldo carried the team and this season he is among the most best shot stoppers in the league.. the only thing that will always be criticized is his ability on the ball which is equally important for keepers nowadays.. but he still is the best in terms of reflexes and positioning to make last ditch saves..
@@afellownerd what is truly sad is how a large portion of Manchester United fans absolutely despise him. Ignore all the positive performances and just clip any pass he misplaces. is shot stopping is still great and his overall game has definitely improved.
@@Biondominato nah he’s definitely not good enough. He’s a very good goalkeeper who’s got a great penalty saving record but overall he’s never been a truly outstanding goalkeeper, whereas all the other goalkeepers have been at some point been in consideration as being the best in the world in their time. (Or in the case of Akinfeev and Ochoa, almost exclusively during World Cups.)
@kendrick6740 no man, Handanovic was world class in some of the worst Inter teams of all time. You underrate him because he never became a renowned keeper, which is fair, but has nothing to do with his lack of skill and everything to do with his abysmal supporting cast.
Dude not having Keylor Navas is a crime. I would like to see any of these keepers try to take COSTA RICA to a penalty shootout in the World Cup Quarter Finals almost single handedly
One thing that will always stick with me is how Cech went out of his way to speak with Ryan Mason after Mason fractured his skull; giving Mason support and guidance through recovery from a place of mutual experience. Definitely one of the most genuine guys in the sport.
thank you for the de gea respect. there's been so much slander spread about him these past few years and especially recently, that people forget what a goalkeeper's primary job is and disrespect his legacy. many players have said that being manchester united's goalkeeper is one of the hardest jobs in football in the world, i can't even imagine anyone else doing it for as long as he has. he's a club legend and a hero, absolutely deserves to be here for being the best shot stopper in the world when he doesn't get into his head.
Proper comment: This might be my Mags bias talking, but I think Shay Given could have been an honourable mention, at least during his peak. A lot of the keepers in the list had some truly exceptional defenders, while Given had a hell of a lot more to do because the defenders in front of him were people like, er, Titus Bramble. He's certainly no Buffon or Kahn or even a Victor Valdez, but I think he's probably the most underrated goalkeeper of the post-2000 Premier League era.
@@gofannon1943 I have to disagree there, but I think we can both agree that Jean-Alain Boumsong was a total waste of space - and Given was often stuck behind both of them at the same time. =]
Igor Akinfeev as an honourable mention is based asf, I’m so happy he gets recognition! People would love him way more had he left CSKA, but his loyalty makes him so special!
Imagine thinking Gomes was error-prone in the same way as Karius. Man got to the UCL semifinals as one of the stars *FOR* *PSV* He was past his prime when he played in England and isn't in this debate, but he's dozens of levels above Karius...
Buffon deserved the balon d'or over Cannavaro in 2006 imo. Their world cup high performance was extremely comparable, but he only conceeded 1 gol on penalty by Zidane and an unfortunate self-goal by Zaccardo in the WHOLE tournament. Not even ONE goal conceeded in action by the opposing team, which is just crazy. Also Buffon was having a ridicoulus career since late 90's at Parma (also Cannavaro, but not quite at the same lvl imo). On the other hand Neuer, having a great season in 2014 and also closely deserving a balon, d'or, conceded only 5 goals less, but only playing half of Buffon's career, which without any doubts puts him second compared to the GOAT, which till to this day, deserved the balon d'or. Also Bayern had a better overall team trought Neuer's career, and Bundesliga was clearly easier than what Buffon ever encountered. Serie A was the best league in the 90's and the early 2000.
Jens Lehmann? He even scored two goals during his tenure at Schalke 04 (one via penalty, and in 1997 he became the first goalie in the Bundesliga to score a regular field goal).
Posting for the 11th time: I created an all-time XI with no overlap of international careers - no player was active for their national team at the same time as any other player. Here it is (with the years of each player's international career listed in parentheses): 🇩🇪 Oliver Kahn (1995 - 2006) 🇩🇪 Manfred Kaltz (1975 - 1983), 🏴 Bob Crompton (1902 - 1914), 🇧🇷 Thiago Silva (2008 - ), 🇩🇪 Andreas Brehme (1984 - 1994) 🇺🇾 José Leandro Andrade (1923 - 1930), 🇮🇹 Ugo Locatelli (1936 - 1940) 🇮🇹 Valentino Mazzola (1942 - March 1949) 🇧🇷 Pelé (1957 - 1971), 🇧🇷 Neco (1917 - 1922), 🇭🇺 Zoltán Czibor (May 1949 - 1956) Manager: 🇨🇿 Karel Petrů (1931 - 1935) If you choose to ignore the position of manager, Ugo Locatelli can be replaced in midfield by 🇦🇷 Antonio Sastre (1933 - 1941). How about making a video featuring an XI you created using this limitation (and without using uncapped players)?
I love Thiago Silva but how is he the current gen player you would include out of all the choices you had. Surely Messi walks into any team at this point and you could include any CB from back in the day.
@@areebsiddiqui758 Lionel Messi debuted for Argentina in 2005, so if you put him in you'd need to remove both Oliver Kahn and Thiago Silva. If you can come up with a better XI (with historically great players in all positions, not just forwards and midfielders) while including Lionel Messi, by all means go ahead and create it.
My guess is absolutely right as the Italian legend Gianluigi Buffon deserves to be in the top spot for the "Greatest Goalkeepers Since 2000" list as he has achieved his best before the turn of the millennium and became a world class player at that period of time and won numerous trophies,except the UEFA Champions League trophies,good friends!!!Shoutout to the other respective legends who he has mentioned and long lives respectively to all of them,good friends!!!:-D
Neuer in the 2nd place is outrageous! He revolutionized goalkeeper's position with his excellent ball control and he had such amazing performances in the WC 2014, in the Champions league from 2011 onwards and if it wasnt for him Bayern wouldnt have won the CL in 2020. I cant believe someone in their right mind put him in second place
Well, just about anyone who ever really saw Buffon play would have no other chouce than to put Neuer in 2nd. And I say this as a German who has followed Neuer's career closely!
The thing is, Neuer didn't make his professional debut until 2006. By that point, Gianluigi Buffon was a World Cup winner on top of being the best keeper on the planet. Sure, Neuer has been outstanding, but Buffon has been just as good - for longer.
Finally some love for Costa Rica!!!! Missed us in so many lists, at least Keylor was here. Yes, my little nation is still watching Alfie, hopefully we'll get some respect one day
@@tommyvinceze6249 Well, three World Cups including the legendary 2014 quarterfinals run, winning everything there is to win during his time at Real Madrid, sweeping through Ligue 1 with PSG, even making third place at the Club World Cup with his former club Saprissa... I'd say: Yes, he's pretty much a national hero and in Costa Rica and as goalie in CONCACAF, you could call him the GOAT.
Petr Cech spent a few months towards the tail end of this ice hockey season playing for my local team, The Chelmsford Chieftains, in case anyone wanted to know what Cech’s up to nowadays
Thanks for including De Gea, he kept Man United just about afloat for several years. It takes a special goalie to do a job with some of those defenders in front of him.
Hugely biased, but Claudio Bravo gets a huge honorable mention for me. He was a beast in Real Sociedad and if he had stayed in a smaller club rather than selling out to Barcelona and City and become a number 2, we would have heard more about him. Although by not appearing much in both of those clubs he was capable of carrying Chile to their two and only consecutive Copa Americas, which does say something about how good he is.
As a german and a bayern fan, i would 100% put neuer on top, because in my opinion, he's the greatest ever in his position. But i can live with buffon over him. I would have started mayhem if he was behind casillas though
4:08 was he actually? I have been around when Kahn was playing and I have never heard about "Volcano", his nickname was "Titan". Nonetheless, still hoping for that Austrian Wunderteam video 😇✌.
No way anyone puts Bravo and Ochoa as honorable mentions but not Abbondanzieri who was actually in the top 10 keepers of the XXI century made by IFFHS, guy was Zamora of La Liga with Getafe out of all teams.
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 485) I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored. If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
I would have liked to see Rogerio Ceni get an honourable mention - maybe for pure goalkeeping he wasn't as good as some of the others mentioned, but over 100 club goals is noteworthy for a keeper...
Please make a documentary about the following topics: -Corrine Diacre’s controversial/toxic tenure as the manager of France’s Women’s National team which lead her to get sacked last month -The alleged attack on Kheira Hamaroui by her own former PSG Teammate Aminata Diallo -The drama/scandal surrounding Gregg Berhalter and Gio Reyna’s parents during the 2022 FIGA World Cup -Ranking all of the goals that won the FIFA World Cup Goal of the Tournament Award
Heurelho Gomes was insanely good at PSV for 4 seasons winning B2B2B2B league titles with them and reaching the semifinal of the champions league as well. I know he didnt do so well in England but his legacy in the Netherlands is stellar.
To add some facts: In 4 seasons in the league he conceded 90 goals or about 0.5-0.6 per game. The next best team during that period (Ajax) conceded 154. Gomes was literally the difference during those 4 seasons. In 2007-2008 for instance Ajax outscored PSV by 29 goals but conceded 21 more.
Came here to say this. Plus he captained (and was the main player) of an all-conquering brazilian side in the 2000s (São Paulo) and kept playing, sometimes really well, up until he was 42 in 2015
Rogério Ceni not even being mentioned in this video baffles me, hes only the keeper with most goals (131), 50 overall penalties saved (33 in game, 17 in shoouts), and was doing everything that Neuer does since at least 2003, in 2007 had a 988 minute streak without conceding a goal, has 1117 games for São Paulo FC (978 of wich he was the captain, both world records) and was the teams top scorer in 2005 [21] and 2006 [15] (in 2005 São Paulo won a treble with the State Championchip, Libertadores and Club World Cup, and in 2006 won the Brazilian League) also De Gea being on the list over Van Der Sar?????????
My opinion 1Manuel Neuer 2Gianluigi Buffon 3Iker Casilas 4Petr Cech 5Oliver Kahn 6Jens Lehman 7Julio Cesar Honourable Mentions: Van der Sar, Ederson, Alisson, Thibaut Courtois, David De Gea, Marc-André Ter Stegen, Victor Valdez, Hugo Lloris, Joe Hart, Keylor Navas, Jan Oblak
Not sure if you’ve got any need for video ideas, but a what on earth is happening at Fola in the Luxembourg national division would be interesting to me idk about anyone else, as always keep up the great work Alfie!!
a documentary of Borussia Dortmund and how they were extremely close to bankruptcy in 2002 time and how Bayern had to save them. The extreme difficulties the club has had to manage within to get back to where they are #thepeopleschannel
me (seeing thumbnail) - wonder where Buffon is ranked? me (as Alfie's ranking progressed gradually - and no Buffon yet) - Looks like Alfie hates Buffon? wonder why? *excellent vid as always - no complaints.
What about Jens Lehmann? You should have at least mentioned him in the honourable mentions. Definetly the German goal keeper, who laid the basis for Manuel Neuer.
Good friend Alfie,well played to your beloved Hull City for getting a 0-0 draw at Blackburn Rovers to move to fifteenth place with fifty three points!!!🏋♂️
Fair enough. Though I’d have put Neuer on top spot. Kahn would have been #1 if we wouldn’t disregard his pre-2000 years, but even so, I’d move him up the list a little bit. Other than that, there isn’t much to argue about. Though maybe one could argue for Cech on third spot. Then there is ter Stegen who on pure quality probably should be in the top 7, but he was unlucky to have Neuer in front of him, so I guess he lacks the international successes.
Honestly, I was expecting a punchline of mentioning Emiliano Martinez for the number 1 spot, but I guess it wasn't necessary. Buffon deservedly earns top spot here. I think if he plays in Serie A at age 50, he must be up there with Lev Yashin and Dino Zoff as one of the greatest GKs ever, although he IS already up there at this time).
I can't see how Courtois places above ter Stegen and Oblak. Those 2 have been consistent for years now while Courtois until 2 years ago was nowhere near them. Yes, he's been amazing last season and he had a great 2018 WC but I couldn't justify that to be worth more than being world class for about 8 years especially in ter Stegens case
People forget that courteous was really mistaken prone in his first 2 seasons at madrid. Same in 20 /21 season. 21 /22 he regained his old form but this season he hasn't been good enough. Even during his final season for Chelsea his performances had dropped significantly.
Courtois won the Belgian league as a 17 year old and starred for Atletico before Oblak even signed for them, winning the Trofeo Zamora twice before Oblak started his run and with 3 total Courtois outshines Ter Steegen who only has one. But yes, sure, the current best goalkeeper in the world is 'overrated' and he definitely didn't do anything before 2 years ago that's even remotely comparable to Ter Steegen and Oblak, who each also carried their country to a third place finish in the WC. Oh, wait, they didn't.
Buffon, Neuer and Casillas are surely the podium for pretty much everyone.
Pretty much in that order too. Even though I would put Neuer first. Kahn number 4. Would have been No1 had he won the 2002 WC. Golden Ball for a goalkeeper is immense.
If this list wasn't from 2000 onwards, I'd have put big Peter Schmeichel in there with those 3 along with Cech

Dude not having Keylor Navas is a crime. I would like to see any of these keepers try to take COSTA RICA to a penalty shootout in the World Cup Quarter Finals almost single handedly
Neuer, Buffon, and Casillas are interchangeable in my opinion. You could put them in any order, and it would make sense
Pepe Reina...Man he was amazing at Liverpool...Even Friedel for Blackburn..
One thing that will always stick with me is how Cech went out of his way to speak with Ryan Mason after Mason fractured his skull; giving Mason support and guidance through recovery from a place of mutual experience. Definitely one of the most genuine guys in the sport.
thank you for the de gea respect. there's been so much slander spread about him these past few years and especially recently, that people forget what a goalkeeper's primary job is and disrespect his legacy. many players have said that being manchester united's goalkeeper is one of the hardest jobs in football in the world, i can't even imagine anyone else doing it for as long as he has. he's a club legend and a hero, absolutely deserves to be here for being the best shot stopper in the world when he doesn't get into his head.
Proper comment: This might be my Mags bias talking, but I think Shay Given could have been an honourable mention, at least during his peak. A lot of the keepers in the list had some truly exceptional defenders, while Given had a hell of a lot more to do because the defenders in front of him were people like, er, Titus Bramble. He's certainly no Buffon or Kahn or even a Victor Valdez, but I think he's probably the most underrated goalkeeper of the post-2000 Premier League era.
Aw Bramble wasn’t so bad, just had a silly name. If his name was Will Johnson he wouldn’t get nearly as much stick 😅
@@gofannon1943 I have to disagree there, but I think we can both agree that Jean-Alain Boumsong was a total waste of space - and Given was often stuck behind both of them at the same time. =]
Igor Akinfeev as an honourable mention is based asf, I’m so happy he gets recognition! People would love him way more had he left CSKA, but his loyalty makes him so special!
It's a shame he had his career run down by politics, while watching through highlights he impressed me during the 2018 WC
@@Giooseb What politics ?
@@Giooseb are you talking about the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Because if not I didn’t realize there was any politics involved in his career?
Imagine thinking Gomes was error-prone in the same way as Karius. Man got to the UCL semifinals as one of the stars *FOR* *PSV* He was past his prime when he played in England and isn't in this debate, but he's dozens of levels above Karius...
Karius did one better and went all the way to the final, golden glove and all
Past his prime or not, I didn't even think he was that bad at Watford? I can remember him making some magnificent saves.
And he got Watford to an FA cup final. Heurelho was a decent goalkeeper
Buffon at 2006 world cup was a monster as well, i still cant believe to this day zidane doesnt score that header
Buffon deserved the balon d'or over Cannavaro in 2006 imo.
Their world cup high performance was extremely comparable, but he only conceeded 1 gol on penalty by Zidane and an unfortunate self-goal by Zaccardo in the WHOLE tournament. Not even ONE goal conceeded in action by the opposing team, which is just crazy.
Also Buffon was having a ridicoulus career since late 90's at Parma (also Cannavaro, but not quite at the same lvl imo).
On the other hand Neuer, having a great season in 2014 and also closely deserving a balon, d'or, conceded only 5 goals less, but only playing half of Buffon's career, which without any doubts puts him second compared to the GOAT, which till to this day, deserved the balon d'or.
Also Bayern had a better overall team trought Neuer's career, and Bundesliga was clearly easier than what Buffon ever encountered.
Serie A was the best league in the 90's and the early 2000.
You forgot to mention leman from arsenal. Also shy given was great honorable mention
Jens Lehmann? He even scored two goals during his tenure at Schalke 04 (one via penalty, and in 1997 he became the first goalie in the Bundesliga to score a regular field goal).
I was shocked that Lehmann didn't get a mention
Posting for the 11th time:
I created an all-time XI with no overlap of international careers - no player was active for their national team at the same time as any other player.
Here it is (with the years of each player's international career listed in parentheses):
🇩🇪 Oliver Kahn (1995 - 2006)
🇩🇪 Manfred Kaltz (1975 - 1983), 🏴 Bob Crompton (1902 - 1914), 🇧🇷 Thiago Silva (2008 - ), 🇩🇪 Andreas Brehme (1984 - 1994)
🇺🇾 José Leandro Andrade (1923 - 1930), 🇮🇹 Ugo Locatelli (1936 - 1940)
🇮🇹 Valentino Mazzola (1942 - March 1949)
🇧🇷 Pelé (1957 - 1971), 🇧🇷 Neco (1917 - 1922), 🇭🇺 Zoltán Czibor (May 1949 - 1956)
Manager: 🇨🇿 Karel Petrů (1931 - 1935)
If you choose to ignore the position of manager, Ugo Locatelli can be replaced in midfield by 🇦🇷 Antonio Sastre (1933 - 1941).
How about making a video featuring an XI you created using this limitation (and without using uncapped players)?
I love Thiago Silva but how is he the current gen player you would include out of all the choices you had. Surely Messi walks into any team at this point and you could include any CB from back in the day.
Ee
@@areebsiddiqui758 Lionel Messi debuted for Argentina in 2005, so if you put him in you'd need to remove both Oliver Kahn and Thiago Silva. If you can come up with a better XI (with historically great players in all positions, not just forwards and midfielders) while including Lionel Messi, by all means go ahead and create it.
I would love to put cech in the top 3, but there is just no way to leave out buffon, casillas and neuer.
My guess is absolutely right as the Italian legend Gianluigi Buffon deserves to be in the top spot for the "Greatest Goalkeepers Since 2000" list as he has achieved his best before the turn of the millennium and became a world class player at that period of time and won numerous trophies,except the UEFA Champions League trophies,good friends!!!Shoutout to the other respective legends who he has mentioned and long lives respectively to all of them,good friends!!!:-D
Neuer in the 2nd place is outrageous! He revolutionized goalkeeper's position with his excellent ball control and he had such amazing performances in the WC 2014, in the Champions league from 2011 onwards and if it wasnt for him Bayern wouldnt have won the CL in 2020. I cant believe someone in their right mind put him in second place
Well, just about anyone who ever really saw Buffon play would have no other chouce than to put Neuer in 2nd. And I say this as a German who has followed Neuer's career closely!
@@AblemanSy well said ! I am Italo-German and I couldn't agree more
The thing is, Neuer didn't make his professional debut until 2006. By that point, Gianluigi Buffon was a World Cup winner on top of being the best keeper on the planet. Sure, Neuer has been outstanding, but Buffon has been just as good - for longer.
@@AzureKite Yeah, if it were rankings from 2010, then no doubt Neuer’d top all
Started the video, went to the kitchen to make a 3 course meal, and came back just before the video intro ended.
Knew who would be top 3, the only uncertainty would be the order of those 3.
Finally some love for Costa Rica!!!! Missed us in so many lists, at least Keylor was here. Yes, my little nation is still watching Alfie, hopefully we'll get some respect one day
Is keylor seen as a hero out in Costa Rica?
@@tommyvinceze6249 Well, three World Cups including the legendary 2014 quarterfinals run, winning everything there is to win during his time at Real Madrid, sweeping through Ligue 1 with PSG, even making third place at the Club World Cup with his former club Saprissa... I'd say: Yes, he's pretty much a national hero and in Costa Rica and as goalie in CONCACAF, you could call him the GOAT.
Finally. Something I have been waiting for. Please, I want to see the best passers of this decade.
If DeBruyne is not first on the list then who is? (he commented hoping to continue a thread until Alfie notices it)
@@bumblethebeadle3504 Iniesta might be slightly better for the 2010s.
Video idea:
7 important rules changes in association football history (whether for the better, for the worse, or somewhat in between)
The kind of videos I love and ask for
Buffon was voted 14 FOURTEEN times in the IFFHS best Goalkeeper top 3 since 2000. Insane
In my opinion Manuel Neuer is the greatest goalkeeper of all time
Donnarumma becoming one of the best ever seems about as likely as Kolo Muani doing so lol
Petr Cech spent a few months towards the tail end of this ice hockey season playing for my local team, The Chelmsford Chieftains, in case anyone wanted to know what Cech’s up to nowadays
7 greatest footballers to not receive a international cap
Can’t argue with any of this ..picked every position except for Kahn, who I forgot about and immediately agreed on ! 😂
It's unsurprising that Neuer never won the Ballon d'Or, but if you ask me, Buffon should've won it in 2006 over Cannavaro
100% with buffon in 2006 yeah.
okay and neuer should have won it in 2014
Yes Alfie! Up the GK content
NEUER IS THE BEST FOR SURE
Thanks for including De Gea, he kept Man United just about afloat for several years. It takes a special goalie to do a job with some of those defenders in front of him.
Hugely biased, but Claudio Bravo gets a huge honorable mention for me. He was a beast in Real Sociedad and if he had stayed in a smaller club rather than selling out to Barcelona and City and become a number 2, we would have heard more about him. Although by not appearing much in both of those clubs he was capable of carrying Chile to their two and only consecutive Copa Americas, which does say something about how good he is.
In all honesty, Schmeichel in 2000 was great, won the treble the previous year and helped Sporting win the first league trophy in 18 years
Let's get a few honourable mentions here, Sergio Canizares, Julio Cesar, Joe Hart, Dida, Victor Valdes and Ochoa
Edwin Van der ser and Vincent Enyeama should have gotten a look in
Van der Sar was a honorable mention
@@AzureKite he's far better than getting a honorable mention, I could accept vincent Enyeama as Honorable mention
Buffon Invicta. The invincible Buffon.
Neuer is the GOATkeeper
Got to love someone with concussion being dismissed as "error prone"
This is generally class content
As a german and a bayern fan, i would 100% put neuer on top, because in my opinion, he's the greatest ever in his position. But i can live with buffon over him. I would have started mayhem if he was behind casillas though
Keep up the amazing and interesting videos
4:08 was he actually? I have been around when Kahn was playing and I have never heard about "Volcano", his nickname was "Titan".
Nonetheless, still hoping for that Austrian Wunderteam video 😇✌.
Both. I think Vulkan came earlier and later he became Titan.
@Rest in peace bro he was called the Vulkan in German media a lot.
@Rest in peace bro and my experience was that he was often called Vulkan,or Vulkahn
I have been around from his very beginning. And I have never heard Vulcano either.
Iam very happy in doing this type videos, because I was born in 2000.
No way anyone puts Bravo and Ochoa as honorable mentions but not Abbondanzieri who was actually in the top 10 keepers of the XXI century made by IFFHS, guy was Zamora of La Liga with Getafe out of all teams.
not even a mention for Rogerio Cení I'm crushed 😔
4:18 This Kahn story cracked me up 😂😂😂
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 485)
I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored.
If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
I would have liked to see Rogerio Ceni get an honourable mention - maybe for pure goalkeeping he wasn't as good as some of the others mentioned, but over 100 club goals is noteworthy for a keeper...
Amazing vid 😍 Gigi BUFFONNN
It's not shocking for Buffon to be No.1. I actually expected that
Please make a documentary about the following topics:
-Corrine Diacre’s controversial/toxic tenure as the manager of France’s Women’s National team which lead her to get sacked last month
-The alleged attack on Kheira Hamaroui by her own former PSG Teammate Aminata Diallo
-The drama/scandal surrounding Gregg Berhalter and Gio Reyna’s parents during the 2022 FIGA World Cup
-Ranking all of the goals that won the FIFA World Cup Goal of the Tournament Award
Maqwell already made a video that's comprehensive enough on the Berhalter scandal. Watch that instead. Rest all are good suggestions.
Heurelho Gomes was insanely good at PSV for 4 seasons winning B2B2B2B league titles with them and reaching the semifinal of the champions league as well.
I know he didnt do so well in England but his legacy in the Netherlands is stellar.
To add some facts:
In 4 seasons in the league he conceded 90 goals or about 0.5-0.6 per game. The next best team during that period (Ajax) conceded 154. Gomes was literally the difference during those 4 seasons. In 2007-2008 for instance Ajax outscored PSV by 29 goals but conceded 21 more.
Finished my breakfast before you finished your intro 😂
Kasper schmeichel should’ve been in honourable mentions I reckon
Special mention - Rogerio Ceni. The only GK to have scored 100+ goals.
Came here to say this. Plus he captained (and was the main player) of an all-conquering brazilian side in the 2000s (São Paulo) and kept playing, sometimes really well, up until he was 42 in 2015
HITC Gang on Deck ………. ⚽️
Rogério Ceni not even being mentioned in this video baffles me, hes only the keeper with most goals (131), 50 overall penalties saved (33 in game, 17 in shoouts), and was doing everything that Neuer does since at least 2003, in 2007 had a 988 minute streak without conceding a goal, has 1117 games for São Paulo FC (978 of wich he was the captain, both world records) and was the teams top scorer in 2005 [21] and 2006 [15] (in 2005 São Paulo won a treble with the State Championchip, Libertadores and Club World Cup, and in 2006 won the Brazilian League)
also De Gea being on the list over Van Der Sar?????????
but hes not really a great keeper tbh
My opinion
1Manuel Neuer
2Gianluigi Buffon
3Iker Casilas
4Petr Cech
5Oliver Kahn
6Jens Lehman
7Julio Cesar
Honourable Mentions: Van der Sar, Ederson, Alisson, Thibaut Courtois, David De Gea, Marc-André Ter Stegen, Victor Valdez, Hugo Lloris, Joe Hart, Keylor Navas, Jan Oblak
Not sure if you’ve got any need for video ideas, but a what on earth is happening at Fola in the Luxembourg national division would be interesting to me idk about anyone else, as always keep up the great work Alfie!!
a documentary of Borussia Dortmund and how they were extremely close to bankruptcy in 2002 time and how Bayern had to save them. The extreme difficulties the club has had to manage within to get back to where they are #thepeopleschannel
Iker Cassilas was a joy to watch 💖
NEUER WAS AND IS A JOY TO WATCH
i can only recommend listening on 1.5 speed. his voice is so much more enjoyable.
Honorable mention- Mark Paston. 2010 World Cup. 80 something saves. Only 2 conceded including 1 pen.
😇
I watch these specifically to hear Alfie say 'without further Adu' every single video
me (seeing thumbnail) - wonder where Buffon is ranked?
me (as Alfie's ranking progressed gradually - and no Buffon yet) - Looks like Alfie hates Buffon? wonder why?
*excellent vid as always - no complaints.
This list is pretty much accurate....but i reckon Edersons distribution for GK'S is the best of all time
What about Jens Lehmann?
You should have at least mentioned him in the honourable mentions.
Definetly the German goal keeper, who laid the basis for Manuel Neuer.
It's weird you play this video in 2x speed and it still feels like it's really slow.
On December 31st 1999 at 11:59pm, Big Ben bonged around my house, but we didn't see him for the rest of the night, as he pulled white.
Without a doubt and by a mile, no honourable mention 4 Ederson, thumbnail needs better clarify lol
Day 8: best XI Brazilians that played for other nations
Pepe
Biased as Argentina fan but Martinez could be on this list in time
Massimo Taibi. Best of all time
I don't like Neuer but you can't deny he is undeniably the best of the 2000s
"Kahn was absolutely terrifying"
*Laughs in Jay-jay Okocha*
Ochoa has just received his 1000th goal conceded in his career
Good friend Alfie,well played to your beloved Hull City for getting a 0-0 draw at Blackburn Rovers to move to fifteenth place with fifty three points!!!🏋♂️
I can tell you Aiden Stone isn't one of them after yesterday's performance! Woeful performance by the Vale
Gregory coupet should be an honourable mention as well
Nice to see Ochoa get a mention.
Justice for Mikhail Flippers. Derserved at least an honorable mention! R.I.P!
Let's not forget Pepe Reina, who at one time was rivalling Petr Cech as the best GK in the Premier League.
Fair enough. Though I’d have put Neuer on top spot. Kahn would have been #1 if we wouldn’t disregard his pre-2000 years, but even so, I’d move him up the list a little bit. Other than that, there isn’t much to argue about. Though maybe one could argue for Cech on third spot.
Then there is ter Stegen who on pure quality probably should be in the top 7, but he was unlucky to have Neuer in front of him, so I guess he lacks the international successes.
Honestly, I was expecting a punchline of mentioning Emiliano Martinez for the number 1 spot, but I guess it wasn't necessary. Buffon deservedly earns top spot here. I think if he plays in Serie A at age 50, he must be up there with Lev Yashin and Dino Zoff as one of the greatest GKs ever, although he IS already up there at this time).
For me Neuer is number 1. Buffon & Casillias never hit the same peaks Neuer did.
YESSSSSS DE GEA FINALLY GETS HIS FLOWERS
i would have added nelson dida but great selection
De gea being in this list instead of Valdes is a crime
Iker Casillas is the only keeper who is a SAINT 🙏
💀
I would definitely put Oblak in here. Guy has been a wall for so long without any period of bad form unlikely pretty much anyone else
I can't see how Courtois places above ter Stegen and Oblak. Those 2 have been consistent for years now while Courtois until 2 years ago was nowhere near them. Yes, he's been amazing last season and he had a great 2018 WC but I couldn't justify that to be worth more than being world class for about 8 years especially in ter Stegens case
People forget that courteous was really mistaken prone in his first 2 seasons at madrid. Same in 20 /21 season. 21 /22 he regained his old form but this season he hasn't been good enough. Even during his final season for Chelsea his performances had dropped significantly.
@@bhutochakrabarti4173 what 😂 this season hes been great and was great from the 2019 - 20 onwards
two years ago ? in the 2019 - 2020 season he was easily the best in la liga
Courtois won the Belgian league as a 17 year old and starred for Atletico before Oblak even signed for them, winning the Trofeo Zamora twice before Oblak started his run and with 3 total Courtois outshines Ter Steegen who only has one.
But yes, sure, the current best goalkeeper in the world is 'overrated' and he definitely didn't do anything before 2 years ago that's even remotely comparable to Ter Steegen and Oblak, who each also carried their country to a third place finish in the WC. Oh, wait, they didn't.
A good friend of the channel 😹
