Comments on: Is Pepe Reina the best goalkeeper in the world? http://www.ourkop.com/2009/03/12/is-pepe-reina-the-best-goalkeeper-in-the-world/ Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:52:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Kava http://www.ourkop.com/2009/03/12/is-pepe-reina-the-best-goalkeeper-in-the-world/#comment-1235 Kava Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:19:44 +0000 http://www.ourkop.com/?p=345#comment-1235 Reina is a brilliant keeper but I think Casillas is rightfully Spain's number one. I'm a fan of Madrid as well and I've seen how he carries his defence and keeps Madrid in the game on so many occasions. I dont think he's reserved at all. He may have been that way on Tuesday simply coz Liverpool was shafting Madrid's defence and the whole team just couldnt cope. The saves he produced in the first 5 minutes were world-class. For me he is the world's best. Reina is definately top-five. Reina is a brilliant keeper but I think Casillas is rightfully Spain’s number one.

However keepers are only as good as the defenders playing in front of him who can go a long way in making him look good so Vidic, Evra and Ferdinand have had a lot of influence on net-minding stats. Reina is a fine keeper but best in the world? Very hard to say as there is quite a few and it's a hard position to play. A defender can make quite a few mistakes and it won't matter but 9 out if 10 times a bad mistake by a keeper gives a goal away so they are really only as good as their last game.
