After Sa's save yesterday, I was curious what everyone thinks the best save they've ever seen is. For me, it's the Seaman save:
France wins the world cup without it. Hard to argue.December 18 2022

That was a beautyDudek vs Shevchenko at Istanbul. Used The Force and the stakes were sky high
The save on Xabi was pretty great but potting the rebound takes Dida out of the running lol. I guess Xabi's speed was too much for Milan to box him out lol.Dudek vs Shevchenko at Istanbul. Used The Force and the stakes were sky high
Dudek is both. Why settle?Best or most important?
That save and Dibu at the World Cup final too.Dudek is both. Why settle?
Personally I'm asking for best. Which is why Martinez's doesn't really make the list. It was an important save but it was really just make yourself big and let the ball hit you.Best or most important?
I think it's difficult to separate the 2. Having the fortitude to make a great save when it matters most IS the epitome of a great save. Like a tree falling in the forest. If you make a save when it doesn't matter, does anyone really care?Personally I'm asking for best. Which is why Martinez's doesn't really make the list.

I don't think it's difficult at all. We can do this with goals really easily. A 90+7 minute can still be a scrappy goal. For example, no one is saying Nunez's goal today is some brilliant goal. It's a good goal, well taken, that was dramatic, but that doesn't mean it's a Puskas nominee.I think it's difficult to separate the 2.

It didn't take much athleticism or training or really instincts. It's basic goalkeeping. On a one-on-one like that, you take space, make yourself big and hope it hits you. That's what he did. That's not a criticism, by the way, it just is what it is. The Sa save is much more brilliant from a goalkeeping standpoint.Saying EMI was just making himself big was severely selling him short. Having the athletism, training and instincts to make that save at the death of a world cup is absolutely incredible.
Nah Banks was an incredible reflex and jump, like Lloris. I'm not underating Martinez but that was much easier for him.I think it's difficult to separate the 2.

And like Evilo said, the same can be said for Banks.
At least the funnest for me. Had to use his head for the first part because he couldn't use his hands. Only to stop Rivaldo of all people on the rebound.
Super underrated guy too.
Or whenever he plays for Belgium.Lukaku in the CL final
Lloris made a harder save against Uruguay.Everyone saying emi but Casillas made the same save lol, gave Spain the WC too
