GKs usually look smaller than they actually are because they stand in front of a giant 8 feet tall net all the time. But when you see them in a closer range you'll see the difference. I don't think those pics are proof that the official height of the players should be false by any chance. Ramos usually looks like a stick with a horse face on top of it.

Nah, you can notice the difference even during matches. Iker is def. shorter than Ramos. If you think it's Ramos' horse face that's adding the inches.

Take a look at other examples who are 6fters.

How convenient of you choosing a particular posture that alters the height, and thus not very representative. I don't really care if you don't think Ramos is taller of the two, he could be 5'9'' for all I care, but Iker doesn't look 6ft let alone 6ft+. The point I was making was that Iker is small for a keeper, and that Masip's size should, therefore, not be a handicap if he wants to aspire big.
