Euro 2012 Top 5 Goalies To Watch


Here are my top 5 goalies for Euro 2012


5.  Petr Cech - Czech Republic - Chelsea FC














  The "Cech-Republic": Half man, half machine.  Petr commands his back line well and his track record of 88 caps supports this.  He has held the position since the 2008 Euros, through two World Cups and hopefully the work will pay off this summer.

4. Hugo Lloris - France - Lyon














   Hugo's boss.  No, not the fashion store, Lloris is a brick wall in between the pipes.  Lloris was not a part of the Euro 2008 squad which ducked out in the group stages with an abismal 1 point.  France's keeping should not be a weakness against their group.



3. Joe Hart - England - Manchester City














 Hart has been capped 16 times by the three lions, in which they have gone unbeaten.  The vocal, fiery Manchester City player has been highly praised on the international and domestic levels.  His leadership and agility will prove crucial in England's knockout stages run. 


2. Manuel Neuer - Germany - Bayern Munich















   Manuel has cemented himself as the number 1 keeper for Germany during qualifying.  Playing in all 10 games, without missing a minute, Germany secured themselves as their group winners.  Neuer recently broke the clean sheets record at Bayern Munich with 1000 minutes without conceding a goal.


1. Iker Casillas - Spain - Real Madrid


   Casillas is the most dominant and consistent keeper in the world right now.  After leading Spain to the 2011 World Cup Final and victory, he has helped land Real Madrid atop the Spanish La Liga.  He has been capped 127 times and has been the clear cut number 1 choice for the past 8 years.

Greece Czech Republic - FIFA Ranking - 26      With one of the best and in best form keepers, the "Cech-Republic", will need Petr Cech preforming at his best in order to progress.  Another key to the success of the Czech side will be the play of Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky and Bordeaux skipper Jaroslav Plasil.  Both are highly talented and experienced, combined with over 150 international appearances, the play and leadership abilities of the pair could help them slide through the group easily .
