Banks.. the Cat was the best, Clemence & Shilton are all on record saying Banks was head and shoulders above the rest because he was not just a great reaction keeper but saw the game with clairvoyance.
Schu had off days... Banks really never did until after his car accident

Brasil x USA will be a good game, no one is favorite.
We can forget the last game (Brasil 3 x 0 USA),
USA defeats the European champion in semifinal and
Brasil played a bad game against South Africa.

apos..yes of course,, Banks was safe as the "Banks of England"
The top for the 20th Century according to the International Federation of Football History & Statistics were
1st Lev Yashin
2nd Gordon banks
3rd Dino Zoff
