My Take
Óscar Córdoba is a goalkeeper I hold in real esteem. Born in Cali in 1970, the 185 cm Colombian guarded the net for more than 70 international caps, but the line that stops me cold is his 2001 Copa América: he remains the only person to go an entire edition of the tournament without conceding a single goal. That is an absurd, almost lonely kind of achievement. What draws me to keepers is the psychology of the position, standing as the last wall while the strikers up front collect the glory. Córdoba won by simply not losing, and that quiet, iron resolve makes him, to me, one of South America's underappreciated greats.
