FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is going to the heights of upsets with a lot of adventure and drama in it. The semi-finalists have tapped into their reserves of resilience, bravery and self-belief.

Of course, in order for a team to reach this stage of the competition, their key players must also perform. Morocco, Argentina, Croatia and France have all seen their inspirational goalkeepers produce moments of brilliance to keep their dreams alive. The men to guard the nets are the ones who are in the focus of the world right now. They are playing a dominant role in reaching their teams to this level of the tournament and winning the ultimate prize in FIFA.

Emiliano Martinez, Age 30 (Argentina)

Emiliano Martinez possesses a variety of high-level technical skills. It has made him a cult hero in his home country. During Argentina’s Copa America 2021 triumph, this status was established. Martinez saved three penalties in their semi-last shootout success.

Martinez has proven himself once more in Qatar by putting up a series of impressive performances and inspiring leadership as the team’s last line of defense. In Argentina’s quarterfinal shootout victory over the Netherlands, his saves from Dijk and Steven enhanced his reputation as a penalty specialist.

Dominik Livakovic, Age-27 (Croatia)

In 2018, Dominik Livakovic was a fervent fan on the substitutes bench when Croatia goalkeeper Subasic saved penalties in wins over Denmark and Russia at the World Cup. At Qatar 2022, Livakovic has taken on the role and even more.

The player has been an integral part of their penalty shootout victories over Brazil and Japan. Only three of Livakovic’s eight spot-kick attempts in the two shootouts were successful. Livakovic has produced a highlight reel of outstanding saves, making him arguably Croatia’s standout performer thus far at the tournament. Throughout their thrilling quarterfinal, Brazil’s attacking superstars were contained by Livakovic’s athletic interventions. In fact, since 2014, no goalkeeper has made more saves in a World Cup game than he did.

Hugo Lloris, Age 35 (France)

France’s team with a lot of talent of world-class quality players including Hugo Lloris’s calm, authority and quality. He already holds the record for most appearances for his country at Qatar 2022. He has also surpassed Lilian Thuram, who won the World Cup in 1998.

In France’s tense 2-1 quarterfinal victory over England, the Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper reached the milestone. His enduring quality was on display when he made eye-catching saves from Kane and Bellingham just before halftime. Lloris wants to be the first player in history to lead his team to consecutive World Cup championships.

Yassine Bounou, Age 31 (Morocco)

One of the outstanding players on this team from Morocco that made history is Yassine Bounou. He is a phenomenal shot-stopper. At Qatar 2022, Aguerd’s own goal in the Atlas Lions’ 2-1 group stage victory over Canada is the only goal the Sevilla goalkeeper has conceded.

Bounou’s saving of penalties in their last-16 shootout accomplishment over Spain will live lengthy in the memory. However, his most tremendous stop came in their 1-0 triumph against Portugal. The brilliant Bounou miraculously tipped Felix’s venomous swerving drive over the crossbar, saving the match for Santos’ team.
