I wouldn't say he was one of the best at the world cup. All across the board goalkeepers were putting in some incredible performances. He was easily outshined by the keepers of Mexico, Nigeria, USA, Germany, etc.

As far as his "Later years" go, the only really good season he's had that I can see is this one in particular. He was one of the worst keepers I'd ever seen last season and that's why I was initially upset to see that we'd signed him.

I totally agree there were better keepers than him, particularly the Mexican keeper, still can't deny he had a good tournament.

A short tournament like the WC is a poor sample to judge a player. Bravo's previous season in La Liga for Sociedad is a better sample to judge him with, both because it was recent and because it was lengthy, and there again showed the issues that have made him the above average at best, but certainly not great keeper he is.

I'll tell ya what's also a good sample, his current season at Barca. As a shot stopper he has been as good as MaTS, and under the ball from crosses he has looked better than his German competitor. MaTS is a better distributor but not by a long way. The real advantage of the German is his ability to sweep.

Personally I would drop MaTS for the CL as Its unfair to play him when he gets no league games. Next season will likely be MaTS in la liga but the way Bravo is under valued on here is terrible. If only he was young, German and Blonde!

Worst keeper ever seen and above average at best?
Are you serious guys?
I think you guys only remember the mistake against Bale and Neymar.

Don't know how he's been at Sociedad but at the World Cup and this season at Barca he showed & shows what a great keeper he is. He's done many great things for Barca this season and should be valued highly by Barca enviroment

Still stand with ter Stegen though but I can't deny how good Bravo is

Bravo is solid, no doubt about it, but even so, MATS steals the spotlight for everybody:)

Hell, even in the Claudio Bravo topic, everybody still talks about :mats:

As a fellow chilean, bravo has made lots of mistakes in the past particularly with crosses but he has improved tremedously the past year or two, had an excellent world cup and is doing great in the league, dont know whats peoples problem with him, he is doing a great job in the league and I actually feel safe with him and also with ter stegen, its a beautiful thing having two great goalkeeper for security. Just enjoy both and be thankful we are not conceding so much.

We, Barça fans, are dreamers and ambitious people so some of us prefer MATS because he has enormous potential. He is playing as good as Bravo right now yet he is 21. He has a much higher ceiling and could end up being a great one, not just a very good one.

Honest, good.
