The greatest ever?....not Kahn...not only was he ugly, but he sure wasn't the best. There have been better goalkeepers. He had personality -not sure whether it was a good one, but I don't know him in person- and that gave him something extra. But I have seen errors that other keepers rarely make....

although this is the wrong thread... kahn was THE BEST. it doesn't matter if you like, dislike or hate him. didn't you watch the WC 2002?! oder CL final 2001 (bayern münchen versus fc valencia)?? he got the "best goal keeper of the world" award four times. i know that e.g. buffon got it 5 times BUT it was buffon, maybe the best goal keeper now a days, who said:
"kahn at it's best (late 90's and early 2000's) was better then all of us at our best's"!!
think about it  ;)

Peter Schmeichel is clearly the greatest ever.

Peter Schmeichel is also a hero, 1 I like better than Kahn.....When I was younger, a kid, I was a goalkeeper myself and I wanted to be Schmeichel, so from early age I already had an eye for extraordinary talent...haha

No I haven't only watched the final....I remember your way to the final, or should I say walk in the parc....man at the start of the tourney it was almost obvious that you would get into the final...no real opponents....:(
Well, maybe I'm a bit frustrated, cause eventhough I carry no hate vs my eastern neighbours what so ever, when it comes to football, well, I can get somewhat emotional..hahaha. Allthough we are better according FIFA rankings.....

Yeah that was shockingly one sided wasn't it. Chelsea just don't look very good at the moment do they. Its all good for me cos now it looks like Arsenal might just be able to catch up with Chelsea and Liverpool dropping points.

LOL. Yeah i reckon schmeichel was better than anyone. Im not really fussed what buffon said, kahn wasnt the best ever. He was great, and ugly but not all time best.

Stupid Chelsea. Wtf are they doing at the moment. Its a good job i had the consolation of watching stoke take the game to liverpool and deserve to win it! Scummy scousers. Take that!

Our chants to gerrard were priceless :D

Woohoo, Stoke all the way. Eventhough City did a very good buy with Nigel de Jong, still they've won. Beattie is a very good player for Stoke I assume.
Btw when it comes to goalkeepers, I thought Edwin van der Sar has a record in the UK, as the keeper that has the longest clean sheet!! He is 4th overall in Europe.

Dida surely is amazing. I remember we had 2 different television ads with him here in Brazil, one for a car named Gol (same as "goal" in soccer language), and Dida was sitting in there and everyone screamed "Leave the Gol!" (like when a goalkeeper leave the goal area in a corner kick, for instance, which Dida NEVER does), and another one actually showed Dida SMILING! :D LOL
