The United States has managed to dominate the series of late, in large measure because the American side has taken a more intelligent and calm approach to the rivalry. The Mexican players are more likely to boast unnecessarily, to commit foolish fouls, and to otherwise show the signs of a team under much greater pressure to win without the emotional resources to overcome its fans lofty expectations.

In my view there are 7 outstanding candidates based on performance and longevity and they are David Seaman, David James, Shay Given, Petr Cech, Edwin Vander Saar and Jens Lehmann. David Seaman just pips Petr Cech on longevity alone. He was outstanding for Arsenal and England.
