And little wonder. France only qualified for South Africa because of his heroics in goal. Thierry Henry's infamous handball in France's World Cup play-off against Ireland may have been the main talking point of that extraordinary night, but without a brilliant performance between the posts from Lloris to keep France in the match, the striker's late intervention would have been academic. After excelling in his first full season for Nice - keeping 13 clean sheets - Lloris joined Lyon in 2008. Despite his lack of experience on what will be Lloris' biggest stage, his fast reflexes, brilliant one-on-one skills and commanding presence make Lloris one of the best goalkeepers in the 2010 Fifa World Cup.</blockquote>
