A Between the Sticks Look at the World C A Between the Sticks Look at the World C
As we have seen already at this tournament, a solid goalkeeper can be the difference between succe s and failure. And being a good
Greedy Williams Jersey keeper is not just about making fifteen saves a game, but also about making saves when you have had nothing to do all game, but keep your concentration. Here, I will look at the goalkeepers who have given the most to their respective teams.EduardoPortugal may be out of the World Cup, but largely thanks to Eduardo, they bow out having only conceded one goal. He managed to keep three clean sheets in the so-called group of death, which pitted them against Brazil, Ivory Coast and North Korea. And if it wasnt for some inspired saves by the Braga keeper in the Round of 16 against Spain, it could have been a lot more than one goal against their name. Eduardo has impre sed throughout the tournament, and has arguably been Portugals best player.Vincent Enyeama The Nigeria goalkeeper was
Genard Avery Jersey named man of the match in his sides opening match against Argentina, despite the game ending in a 1-0 defeat for the Super Eagles.
Jarvis Landry Jersey The Hapoel Tel Aviv keeper may not have kept a clean sheet as Nigeria crashed out of their group, but he showed enough to suggest there may be some interest in him before the transfer window slams shut.Julio CesarBrazil coach Dunga described him as the best goalkeeper in the world, and the Inter player has showed glimpses of that in South Africa. He won the treble in Milan last season, and has firmly filled a gap in the Brazilian team which has been crying out to be filled for many years. Julio Cesar let in three goals in
Austin Seibert Jersey the tournament as Brazil bowed out at the last eight, but the keeper made some good saves, and helped his team out of a tough group. He hasnt been at his best this summer, but Julio Cesar not at his best is still better than most.Fernando MusleraThe Uruguayan is only 24, and only made his international debut in his sides penultimate World Cup qualifier, but he has defied his lack of experience to have a brilliant tournament. Muslera may be young, but he has already established himself as first choice for both
Jim Brown Jersey club and country, and had a solid campaign for Lazio. And he has been a big contributing factor in Uruguays succe s in South Africa, keeping a clean sheet in each of their group games. We have heard about La Celestes attacking prowe s, but Muslera, along with a solid defence, has kept them tight at the back as well.
