Unless we can define World Class we can not discuss who merits to be called World Class. So what do we think it means? |

For me personally, world class is branded around way too much, I consider Zidane to have been the truly world class player i've seen and I don't necessarily think there has been a player as consistently good as him to be branded world class. but that is just my opinion |

Figo,Zidane are what you truely call world class for people to brand the likes of Lampard world class is im my opinion a crime and anyoen who says this must be sent to a dentention camp where they will learn a valuable lesson and then he/she must learn never to commit such a crime again. |

Buffon, Cech, Casillas. Thought that keepers should get a mention. |

But Skid before we can argue who, we should agree on how it is defined. are you saying best 2 or 3 in that position in the World? hence your 3 goalkeepers ....or are you saying that they are in a group of World Class keepers? |
