Goalkeeper list all but finalized

I realize half the posts this month are about goalkeepers, but it appears it’s no longer much of a conversation topic after today.

Barring unfortunate aftershave bottle incidents, Luis Aragones says his list of three goalkeepers is all but finalized.

As expected, Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), Santiago Canizares (Valencia) and Pepe Reina (Liverpool) are the top three choices for the World Cup. Canizares has earned his spot with stunning form lately in La Liga, Reina with a solid first season with Liverpool and Iker because, well, he’s Iker.

I’d say this list stacks up pretty well against the goalkeeping corps of pretty much any nation in the World Cup.
