Many goalkeepers have impressed during this summer's World Cup. While it is not easy for us to choose between the likes of Keylor Navas, Guillermo Ochoa and co, one man knows what it takes to shine at a World Cup.
Ireland goalkeeping hero Packie Bonner popped into studio tonight to talk about a range of topic.
But he also gave his take on the goalkeepers that have impressed him most in Brazil and he ended up saying bravo to Chile's Claudio Bravo.
"Claudio Bravo of Chile, who is going to Barcelona, I've been impressed with him. He made saves but I was impressed by his movement and quickness around the ball. He's athletic, he can pass the ball and he's got the overall picture for me. Navas of Costa Rica has done quite well. They have been playing in Spain for a while so you expect them to do quite well," said Bonner, who also praised Tim Howard of the USA and analysed the record 16 saves.
Bonner, who knows a thing or two about saving penalties at shootout, also spoke about statistics and the psychology from a goalkeeping point of view, adding that he was "shocked" by Julio Cesar's show of emotion before the Chile shootout on Saturday, although he also spoke about the way the Brazilian seemed to get in the zone.
He also talked us through the penalty shootouts he was involved during his career, including the famous save from against Romania's Daniel Timofte at Italia 90.
Bonner also revealed that he "enjoyed" that shootout based on the events that led up to it.
He also chatted to us about the tactical changes in football, as well as his own interest in systems and coaching.
Bonner also discussed the Packie Bonner Golf Classic in aid of Spina Bifida Hydrocephalous Ireland and explained how people can get involved in the great cause.
