That list is 17 years old. Safe to say some more keepers might have broken into it since then. Namely Neuer and Buffon.
Casillas too.

Not sure he's the best ever but Nuer has changed the way keepers play the game. He's revolutionized the position. Coaches are teaching young keepers to play like him he's changed the way we think the game.
In what way? Love Neuer (as stated earlier), but not sure if I see the revolution.
You really can't see how keepers are developing? The way they attack the ball, passing and creating goals from the back. It's no longer about just shot stopping but they're now asked to be the 11th player.
Yep. If a team plays with a high line, the goalie is now expected to come out and make tackles on long balls. It is definitely up for debate whether or not this is a good thing, but considering Neuer tackles like a midfielder, it separates him from everyone else currently playing for sure.
Haha. I really can´t see? You are such a nice guy to discuss with.
You really can´t see Neuer didn´t exactly come up with that style? And that being a "keeper-sweeper" is hardly something I would call a revolution.
Many goalies these days are aggressively coming off the line in those situations. Neuer just happens to play for a big team so it is more noticeable.
Of other top goalies Lloris isn´t any different even if he isn´t physically as impressive as Neuer when making the tackle.

What about when they're both?Being better at it is in my opinion different than revolutionizing a position.

Anyway. I was just curious as to what he/she meant.
