who do you think is the best keeper out of these 3?

1) Oliver Kahn(Bayern Munchen)
2) Oscar Cordoba(Boca Juniors)
3) Fabien Barthez(Man. Utd.)

Good question and good topic.
I really admire Oliver Kahn, and although I hate his style, I think he's probably the most efficient keeper on earth right now.
I think Barthez is efficient as well, but he's far from being a good goalkeeper (some people may disagree).
About Cordoba, it's really interesting cause I didn't think anyone knew about him, and I met him when he came to Canada. I actually have his autograph here with me. He's good, but he hasn't got a chance to play in Europe.

My favourite keeper is Francesco Toldo. He may not be the most efficient, but he's absolutely fantastic when he plays hard. :eek:

Yeah, Oliver Kahn is pretty hard to go past right now. I personally think Edwin Van der Sar is the No.1 keeper, though it will be interesting to see how he goes without a fantastic defense like at Juve.

out of the list i would say it would be barthez

my top 3

1. Kahn[Bayern Munich]-Based on the penalty strike-out in last years CL final
2. Abiati[AC Milan]-A footballing keeper. I y'all know what I mean
3. Westerveld[Liverpool]-Just watch the charity shield game. He keeps gettin better

I think, that it's Bartez. He is playing a very funny way. LOL. Still can't forgot his moment in Euro 2000, when the Italian player was attacking and Bartez yelled at him at that moment and the player stopped left the ball for Fabien and looked at him with scared eyes. LOL, that was very hilarious.

That was Del Piero. So what ever you say doesn't apply because you assume he is good and can score.

Anyways, Kahn pretty much did the same thing about 3 times in the CL Final to Zlatko Zahovic. Of course, again you have to assume that Zahovic is a good player.

Oliver Kahn is the best keeper in the world. But my number 2 I think now is Sergio Canizares. He is great, and I think he is one of the MAJOR reasons that Valencia have gotten to the CL Final two years in a row.

Kahn's definately the best at the moment. He's not as great to watch as Barthez but he is better then him.

whoever said van der sar, i would have to disagree. he had a awful year with juventus last year, i watched many games where i thought he should be fired for not saving some of those shots. hopefully he can regain form in england,

no offence to juve, they had a pretty bad defence last year, but now with liliam thuram look for things to start looking up

Although Kahn is a good keeper, he's very ugly, so I did't like him. So I will say Barthez is better(Apart from being a GK, he can also play in left wing!!)

oh yeah the question, i would say barthez, and he is the best out of those three, no offence to kahn who i think is the god of pk's,

my three would be:

1)Fabien Barthez
2)Francesco Toldo
3)Gianluigi Buffon

Ummm....no he can't :rolleyes:

I agree with nemrietz. Canizares should be in that list.

Yes, he can. And already did played and got an assist.

Belarus Help? is right, Barthez played in the left wing when Man Utd beat Singapore League XI this summer.

Against Singapore! Well stop the presses, Barthez is brilliant if he can play on the left wing against Singapore.

I meant that he can't play with any talent. And Singapore is not a team that you need any talent to compete against.

couldn't have put it more accurately.

Yeah Barthez is not the best keeper in the world, but definently the most fun to watch. I like it when he runs up to midfield and stuff. He even sometimes trys a shot on goal. I still am waiting for his first goal, I'm sure it will come.

Definitely. It is because of Barthez that France equalized in the last minutes of Euro 2000. Barthez was about 40 yards off his line when he sent the ball forward.

1. Fabián Carini
2. Francesco Toldo
3. Fabian Barthez

Who is that #1 dude?

Fabian Carini is a young south american keeper that has a great future. He is incredibly agile!
About Nimreitz comments about Cañizares, I don't think you know him really well. His name is not Sergio, it is Santiago, and he is a pretty experienced goalkeeper from Spain.
About the possibilities of Barthez scoring a goal, I don't see that happening at a high level of football. But Oscar Cordoba (the guy named by the topic starter) has scored 3 goals in the Libertadores Cup and many other goals in leagues from long range. That's exciting to see.

Fabian Carini is an Uruguayan Keeaper, he plays for Uruguay and for his team Juventus(Italia).

Fabián Carini is an amazing goalie. If you watched the Uruguay vs. Chile match you'd know why I named him the best keeper. After all, his move to Juventus from Danubio was no mistake. This keeper will be around for along time
