Is it a straight battle between Courtois and Pickford, with an honourable mention for Lloris? Ochoa might have been in contention earlier in the tournament, but rather blotted his copybook with his performance against Sweden.

Keeper of the Tournament?

Pickford did well, but what he saved were basically regulation saves. Courtois, Subasic and Lloris performed extraordinarily well, with some 10/10 performances. My pick of the three is Subasic -- some superb saves; playing heroically with a crocked leg against Russia, plus the penalty shoot-out saves.

Originally posted by tee rex View PostSubasic should have had two yellows in the shootout v Denmark, and his team would have been knocked out in the round of 16.
But cheating in the shootout is a standard requirement for a keeper, so I guess that one's on the officials.

Subasic had a very poor final, he was nowhere near the last two goals, both of which were struck from long range and neither had particularly lethal accuracy. They were not placed near the post. He should have at least been with a meter of both shots, especially Mbappe's. I think his thigh injury impaired his mobility, perhaps the strikers might have been instructed to test him, maybe even favoring the right side?
This was a pretty big mistake from the Croat manager, you have to go with your backup if your starting keeper is not close to 100%.
