Joe Hart is still a young and maturing player with a lot of potential, although he has achieved a lot he still has a long way to go before he earns a place among other keeping legends. He has great reflexes and a keen intuition, both of which help him stay one step ahead of the ball at all times. Another fact is that although he is a keeper his footwork is very good, this may prove useful in some situations.

His main weakness is his inexperience, although he has great skill he still lacks great judgement such as that of keeping legends such as Edwin Van Der Saar, which comes from years of experience. This fact may be his only weakness for now.

Also Joe tends to play in a very bold manner, not always trying to just defend the goal, sometimes he tries to be heroic by going after the ball himself and not giving the striker a chance to attack. This is not always a good trait and may not always work in his favour. He could be used in more matches as a staring keeper if he stops making rash decisions.

One thing to be said about his playing style is that he plays fearlessly and in a very aggressive manner. My outlook on this player in this world cup is that he is too young and inexperienced to play as a starting keeper for in the near future.
