I remember watching the 2014 tournament and feeling sure Keylor Navas would get it after dragging Costa Rica to the quarters, he only had 2 clean sheets but the sheer number of saves he puleld off against Greece was ridiculous.

I always thought it was mostly cleansheets too but does the voting panel ever get influenced by a keeper's reputation from club football?

The Golden Glove is awarded based on a goalkeeper's overall performance, which includes factors like saves, clean sheets, and their influence on matches. So it's a mix of stats and quality play!

It’s mostly clean sheets but a big moment can swing it, like when Casillas made that insane toe save against Robben in 2010 he basically sealed the award right there. The panel seems to love a keeper who does something crazy in a knockout game even if their stats aren't the absolute best.

The whole "clean sheet" thing is the starting point for sure, but when it's tight they definitely look at stuff like save percentage in the knockout rounds.

Yeah it leans heavy on clean sheets but the panel also loves a keeper who drags their team through a messy knockout match with huge reflex saves. I honestly think the semifinal showdown between France and Argentina will decide it because both Maignan and Martinez are putting up absurd numbers.

tbh the fifa tech study group picks it, clean sheets matter but distribution and command of the box weigh a lot too, so keep an eye on how many crosses a keeper claims late in the tournament cos that can tip it in their favor

i remember back in 2018 courtois got it even though pickford had more clean sheets, so the fifa panel definitely weighs overall impact more than just the stats
