To some people, it might seem strange that two of the best goalkeepers in the world -- perhaps even the best -- are both from Brazil. After all, Alisson of Liverpool and Ederson of Manchester City -- No. 1 and No. 4 in the 2019 FC 100 respectively -- hail from a country where it has sometimes been felt that Brazil accumulated World Cups in spite of their keepers, not because of them.
The above might be harsh on Gilmar, from the 1958 and '62 World Cup-winning teams, though Felix from 1970 was certainly nothing special: the Selecao scored 18 goals over six games and conceded seven.
