According to the Mirror, Guillermo Ochoa, Rais M'Bolhi, and Vincent Enyeama have all won plaudits, but which keeper has pulled off the best saves?
In a tournament blessed with high-scoring matches, goalkeepers have become the unlikely cult heroes of this World Cup.
Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ocho led the charge. The out-of-contract shotstopper earned less in a year at relegated French side Ajaccio than Wayne Rooney earns in a week at Manchester United.
A fan of the French club has subsequently put his house up for sale in order to stump up the cash to keep Ochoa between the sticks.
But he's not the only keeper to capture the imagination at the World Cup. Lille and Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama was already a fan favourite for comedy classics such as "leaning against the goalpost while the other team attacks" and Algeria keeper Rais M'Bolhi had also gained a following for his lesser known masterpiece of "throwing a football at a striker's head".
