Worlds Best Black Goalkeeper

Post suggestions please.

I'm trying to create a team of the best black players only (mixed race counts). I'll be doing a simple 4-4-2 formation so it won't be difficult, and I need the best black manager in the world too.

Then i'll do the same with white players and compare both teams and let the forum decide as to which team is best.

------------------------

Carlos Kameni
Richard Kingson
Vincent Enyeama
Steve Mandanda
Ali Al Hasbi
Heurelho Gomes
Fabio
Helton
Filipe
Dida
Tim Howard
Boubacar Barry

Racism,

Kameni, Enyema or w/e his name was?

Kameni maybe? Just the first guy who popped in my head, he's not great but decent enough.

Mandanda?

Ali Al Habsi

Richard Kingson probably.

It's not racist.

I remember learning in P.E that black people have more fast twitch muscles than white people, which makes them the best sprinters, whilst white people are better at endurance running such as marathons.

I thought it would be interesting to compare in football terms

woops

False, may be stereotypical, but it's always the Africans who lead marathons. Hell a white guy was leading once and the reporter said "here's something you don't see everyday"

Mandanda, Enyeama, Kameni

If you count darker skinned Brazilians, Gomes, Fabio, Helton and Filipe.

Tell that to Ethiopia.

Best black Goalkeeper, Carlos Kameni I think.

Yes, darker skinned Brazilians count. I was thinking of Gomes too.

Could you post their 1st names if you can please Polska so I could include it on a poll?

Kameni, Kingson, Mandanda, and Vincent Enyeama who's done Africa proud

good idea btw Forest.

I wouldn't say they are black. In Brazil there's been a general stereotype that black people make bad goalkeepers, and therefore very few black players in Brazil have become goalkeepers. It's not a very logical conclusion, but that has been a stereotype in Brazilian football for years.

Still Dida

I don't know their first names.

Sigh, hold on let me find them on wiki

Kingson?

I've heard of that stereotype before.

To be frank, I only would consider Helton and Felipe black out of those i've listed too.

dida

Sorry Polska, I forgot they were Brazilian, don't need their 1st names then

Helton is shit, plus he wears long goalkeeper pants. Where the fuck is Tim Howard by the way?

Tim Howard added.

I'll keep this thread without a poll for a little longer

Isn't Tim Howard like quarter cast or something?

He can barely pass for a black guy.

He's 50/50

Plus, one drop = you're black

Timmy is definitely half black, and proud of it. He belongs on the list!

Unless your any sort of Latino like me

But then you're called Mexican.

Marbouk Zaid?

Grobelaar?

Seriously, can't believe nobody mentioned David James!!!
Boubacar Barry is decent as well

There is probably a good reason why James wasn't mentioned...
