Claudio Venegas

This Costa Rican goalkeeper commands his area with fierce authority and reflexes that defy logic, even if his insistence on rushing off his line occasionally gives his defense heart palpitations. Famous for once saving a penalty after distracting the taker by imitating an iguana sound during his run-up, his style is a masterclass in raw instinct and impeccable positioning. While hanging onto the ball can sometimes prove trickier than pulling off world-class saves, no one leads the defensive line with quite the same intensity.
