    Lehmann anyone?

    i think Coupet can get a good shout too.

    however in Greece, they have Nikopolidis, but once injured i dont know if they have quality back up.

    King Artur Boruc (Celtic)is my choice. He will be the one to stop Germany in Group B.
    Poland have also Kuszczak (2nd choice in Man Utd) and Fabianski (now 2nd choice in Arsenal).
    I think that only Spain might have better goalies in this tournament.

    I think veteran goalie Van der Sar will tipped the shine in Euro 2008

  13. rick capricieuse

  14. fajridiladha

    i think peter cech is the best goalkeeper.confirm!!!

    It is buffon for me, anyway cech is also the right nominee. Casillas, eventhough good but not lucky.

    I’m gonna say right now Casillas is the best in the world.

    Cech was the best in the world before his head injury and Buffon was the best before that.

    those three are the top in the world and at any moment one could be in better form.

    Cech’s in a slight disadvantage cause he has a slightly weaker team (age-ing defence) so he may be exposed, but he was impressive for chelsea in the last month.

    ha ha ha ha ha ha
    ofcourse not Cech, V.D.Sar &not even Lehman
    The ultimate goal hero is:
    MR. BUFFON

    artur boruc hands down shame he has prob 1 of the weakest teams in the euro come on the celts

    June 6th, 2008 @ 21:51
  19. Tom

    1. Buffon

    2. Van de Sar
    3. Casillas

    Cech was amazing, I think he’s just not the same after his injury, and who can blame him. He’s still top 10, just not top 3 in my opinion.

    June 7th, 2008 @ 02:47
  20. Boz

    I think Cyril Cloakerton is by far the best. Pity his team are rubbish though. COME ON YOU CLOAKERTON!

    June 7th, 2008 @ 10:22

    ARTUR BORUC BY FAR THE BEST KEEP

    June 17th, 2008 @ 04:40
  41. Dave

    BORUC IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, HAVE YOU PEOPLE ACTUALLY SEEN HIM THOSE WHO DISAGREE?

    June 17th, 2008 @ 17:36
  42. Andrey

    Lobont is the best goalkeeper in Europe

    June 17th, 2008 @ 18:12
  43. Benisson

    Came off it. Everyones tell yours goalkeepers are the best, but i must agree that boruc is incredible

    June 17th, 2008 @ 19:36
  44. blis

    Like for me, before EURO2008 Boruc was one of the best goalkeepers in the world. After – no doubtely, he proved he is the best (see Broox’s comment). For many of you he is less known as he plays for Celtic not for Real or Chelsea, but it will change soon…

    June 18th, 2008 @ 07:22
  45. chester

    without any discussion Arthur Boruc

    the weakest team on euro is Poland no doubt, but becuz of our goal keeper and thanks to him we didn’t lose 231321 goals but just a few.
    im sure that after this euro u will hear more about him considering the fact that he plays in celtic atm.

    June 18th, 2008 @ 08:21

    Artur Boruc is by far the BEST goalie of the tournament. Perhaps even one of the best in the world. Cech didn’t show a lot this Euro but I don’t blame him because of those injuries. Also, Buffon is amazing. The top 3 Boruc & Buffon (the same level) and Coupe.
