The best three goalkeepers of the World Cup this time. All three are saving their team in match after match. They are one of the reasons why their team reached the semi-finals of the World Cup. The best three heroes of the World Cup this time are Dominic Livakovic, Emiliano Martinez and Yasin Bonu.
Livakovic is the goalkeeper of Croatia. How skilled he is has been seen in two matches in this World Cup. Croatia won both the pre-quarter finals and quarter finals on tiebreakers. Livakovic became the hero in both matches.
Livakovic saved three penalties in the tiebreaker against Japan. It was at his hands that the dreams of the Japanese were shattered. It does not end there. He became the team's savior once again against Brazil. He saved Neymar's 13 shots in the 120-minute match. He then blocked Rodrigo's shot in the tiebreaker. Neymar's dream was shattered by losing the tiebreaker.
Argentina's goalkeeper Martinez, who will play against Croatia in the semi-finals, is also in great form this time. His team lost to the Netherlands in a tiebreaker in the quarterfinals. He became a hero there. He saved the first two penalties of the Netherlands. Messi made it to the semi-finals.
The best surprise of Qatar World Cup is Morocco. They are the first African country to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. Bonu is one of the reasons behind the continuity of the team. He scored only one goal in the World Cup. Even that is a teammate's suicide goal.
Morocco beat Spain in a tiebreaker in the pre-quarterfinals. Bonu saved all three shots of Spain there. He became a mountain under the goal in the quarter-final against Portugal. Definitely saved the goal.
Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe are making their mark in this World Cup. Team sports are seen. Looks like some great goals. Just like that, Livakovic, Martinez, Bonura are working quietly under the goal. They are the silent heroes of the World Cup.
