#6 Guillermo Ochoa (Mexico)

Croatia v Mexico: Group A - 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil
Guillermo Ochoa was one of Mexico's heroes in 2014

Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa is now 32 and headed to his fourth FIFA World Cup. Everyone remembers him from his heroics in the 2014 edition - especially when he managed to keep a clean sheet against the mighty Brazilians playing on home turf.

Brazil had 14 shots in that game and they were denied. Set pieces, open play - you name it, Ochoa was a wall for 90 minutes.

"It was the game of my life," he said after the game and even the internet went wild with tributes and memes flowing in equal measure with his Wikipedia entry even describing him as the Mexican Jesus.

Although Ochoa was part of the 2006 and 2010 squads, he never got a chance to play with Oswaldo Sanchez and Oscar Perez being the first choice goalkeeper. But 2014 was where he came into his own and it was his performances at the World Cup that helped him move to Europe.
