Kasper Schmeichel - best keeper at the WC 2018, top 3 keeper in the world!

 

[Jeffrey]

He was fantastic against the Swiss. Great keeper.

 

[Los Che Forever]

Daniel Parejo.

Been one of the best players in La Liga both if you watch him play and statistically (been in the top La Liga player lists of both WhoScored and SofaScore for years now since 2017) but still he's not widely recognised.

If we're going by whoscored statistics, it has to be Papu Gomez. Dude's been getting fairly decent marks since 2015/16.

Yeah that's a good one. His stats are top consistently season after season, albeit in a weaker league compared to Parejo.

 

[Laudrup]

He was fantastic against the Swiss.

Yep. It’s few times in a lifetime you get to see your country being outplayed to such an extent and keep a clean sheet. In fact, I cannot recall having seen that since June 26, 1992.

We should have lost 1-4.

It's actually pretty ironic lol. Kasper in an Underrated thread.

And his Dad Peter would be number 1 in an Overrated list.

Well, since you were 2-3 years old when he carried Brøndby to the UEFA Cup semifinal and Denmark to the EURO win, I’ll forgive you for saying that

Yeah good call with K. Schmeichel. Obvious leadership skills too. He's had a nice career though and consistently starts for club and NT, and is generally recognized and respected as a great keeper, so not sure he fits the bill.

As far as GKs go, I always thought a very underrated one is Fabianski. One of the best in EPL the last few years, consistently great.

Lol I respect Pete for his Danish performances. He was top.

But in England he was error prone! (See my other vids for further proof)

Have you actually made videos with Peter Schmeichel errors?

Well of course he has made mistakes that can fill up a youtube video during his career, what!?!

I would say, for the record, and I do remember him very well, that his level up until 96/97 was unheard of, but during the late part of his career it went dramatically downhill.

 

[Los Che Forever]

Lol yeah there was a thread somewhere that I posted lol.

1 sec I'll bump it!

Not fully recognized for his amazing world cup, and the fact that he hasn’t played for a top club suggests he’s underrated.

Yeah, that’s kind of silly tbh. You could make long videos of mistakes from a career of any player. You were 4-5 years old when he peaked and wouldn’t question the impact he had on football had you been old enough to remember, trust me

 

[Jeffrey]

Fabianski has indeed turned his career around since leaving Arsenal, just like his compatriot, Szczesny.

A coincidence I'm sure.

 

[forestasuceava]

Active?

If retired, Lucian Sanmartean....

 

[Morierinho]

He's had the funniest career, sort of snuck up on us, people were like "yeah yeah, be nice to him, it's not as if he's gonna be the next Schmeichel or anything".

Meanwhile the Laudrup dynasty took a few hits. Of course, there are many instances of sons of good/great players being good/great themselves, but three generations is a stretch apparently. Is Maldini's son doing well btw?

 

[Rob]

Yeah I tend to think Fabianski is the most underrated goalkeeper in England, he's been top class for a few years now but doesn't get a lot of recognition.

 

[Los Che Forever]

I was gonna make a thread about this a while back but on retired players.

Funny how players like Elber, Trezeguet, Paolo Montero etc were pretty lauded at the time but have practically been forgotten about.
