From the matches I have watched (not all, some are late here and the last round of the group stage matches happen at the same time), Goalkeepers overall have been poor.
Some have had a good match, such as the Icelandic one against Argentina (though I think that was more about how poor Argentina were than how good the keeper was in the match), but overall they've been quite poor. Not just De Gea or Neuer, two who are regarded ones of the best in the world, but others to. Either they've been average or poor. I haven't been impressed by Pickford. He has seemed dodgy and could end up like the English keepers from the past few years if he doesn't improve.
Who do you think has had the best World Cup amongst the keepers so far? I'm struggling to think of one who's been outstanding.
And who has had the worse?
Some might point to Neuer after the last match, but you just have to look at the teams that went out and see its not as easy to choose the worst.
World Cup - Goalkeepers very poor?

Still a clown for what he did yesterday though
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A mistake, in the final minutes in a game Germany were already losing, undermines/defines his entire career?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, but he was a clown yesterday, surely you can't deny that?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes I would (deny) "he was a clown yesterday."
Yes he made a mistake. But would hardly refer to a goalkeeper of his pedigree as a "clown"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What about if he went to a kids party yday and performed as a clown?
It wouldn't define his career, but he still would have been a clown that day.

A mistake is something like DDG did when he let Ronaldo's shot squirm through his hands
Neuer (a goalkeeper) was trying to dribble past midfielders in the opposition half, to call that a mistake is an understatement of epic proportions
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was good value entertainment so it was. I’d like to see keepers try it more often. Was brilliant!
The outfield players weren’t able to do anything themselves so too right he should try and show them how it’s done. 3 minutes to go and two goals needed at the time, perfect time for it.

Yet you feel comparing Neuer to a slapstick circus performer, normally wearing outlandish make-up and costume, balanced??
Germany were minutes from going out of the World Cup. They were in a desperate situation. It was not in any shape or form normal match circumstances.
I think we can excuse his last ditched attempt to get Germany back into the game as an error.

Tbf, he wouldn't have looked out of character wearing that guise yesterday as he put the final nail in Germany's coffin

Korea goalkeeper has been quality

Has he? He's been OK, and had a good game against Germany, but he wasn't great against the other two.
