The World‘s best Goalkeeper of the 21st Century
Establishing The World‘s best Goalkeeper of the 21st Century can only be done on the basis of the annual world vote (by the IFFHS). Each year many different jurors (countries) have taken part in the vote and, in the early years the jurors voted for the top three places (3 points to 1 point), and only later for the top four places (4 points to 1 point).
So it would not be possible to simply add the points awarded in the annual votes.The IFFHS has devised an equitable method for determining The World‘s best Goalkeeper of the 21st Century. From the annual ranking of the goalkeepers (as a result of the world vote) the IFFHS will take into consideration the "Top 20" for each year and allocate points to each place. So the first-placed receives 20 points, the second-placed 19 points, the third-placed 18 points ... and a point for twentieth place. If the annual world ranking comprises more than 20 goalkeepers, then the goalkeepers from 21st place onwards receive no points. If the annual world ranking comprises fewer than 20 goalkeepers (based on the fixed rules), no points will be awarded for the unoccupied palces.
From the addition of the points received in the single years produces the world ranking list of the 21st century, which widens of a year every year in January. Each first-placed goalkeeper of this world ranking list is the leading World’s best Referee of the 21st Century to date.
Gianluigi Buffon ahead of Iker Casillas by a hair
After 11 years, Italian "Gigi" Buffon leads the ranking list with only two points ahead of Spaniard Iker Casillas and is therefore the leading World’s best Goalkeeper of the 21st Century - up to now. Both of them have been World’s best Goalkeeper of the Year four times. Should the Spaniard rank three places ahead of "Gigi" Buffon in the "Top 20" in the 2012 world election, he would take the lead in this world ranking list. With the still active Czech Petr ?ech and Oliver Kahn (3x), further former World’s best Goalkeeper follow in the "Top 5", but a considerable part of the career of the German goalkeeper took place already in the 20th century.
South America‘s leading goalkeeper of the 21st century is at the moment »Dida«, ahead of his Brazilian countryman Júlio César. However, should the goalkeeper of FC Internazionale Milano place among the "Top 6" in the 2012 world election, he would become South America’s new no.1 in the 21st century. Among the "Top 10" there are six goalkeepers who never became World’s best Goalkeeper of the Year, but provided world-class performances over more than a decade.
