best goal ever

what do you think is the best goal ever scored?
(sorry if this thread has already been posted)

mine is zidane's goal in the 2001-2002 champions league final against bayer leverkusen.

ya tht one was amazing... left-foot..

wht bout that beckham goal.. the one from half-line..tht was pretty good.. but i think its over-rated

maradona v england, giggs vs arsenal?

Was that Maradonna's FIRST goal against England or the second...? 😱 😗

either one'll do, but i like the legal one

i think van bastens goal in the euros was a bit over rated

why nick? one of the best volleys ever scored surely?

it was fairly close to the goal, im not saying it was bad, just not as good as others

Josimar (spelling) for Brazil against Ireland in the 86 world cup springs to mind. Also i remember Robero Carlos scoring an amazing free kick with the outside of his boot from about 30 yards, it looked like it was going wide then just swerved back in (not sure of the year).

beckham freekick against greece.....england was 2-1 down and there was 92 minutes on the clock...BECKHAM!!! BANG!!!

quality goal 2-2

also trevor sinclair bycicle kick from out side the box

Ronnie Whelan's goal in the same competition was far better!!!

How the hell did I let THAT one go? That's NORTHERN IRELAND mate...they're BRITISH! And very much THIRD WORLD! 🙄 The *REAL* IRELAND did'nt get to the WC 'til '90... 😉

And then bowed out to a Packie Bonner f*ck up!!! 🙁

Apologies for the previous rant...did'nt see the poster's location...from a LITTLE ISLAND off the coast of Australia it seems... 😉 Obviously a BIT confused with EUROPEAN TERRITORY... 😗

I am actualy from England but didnt take the time to think (or care to be honest) which Ireland it was against. I was just remembering a great goal i saw, i didnt think people were scrutinizing the facts so closely. Im sorry if you were insulted by it but refering to New Zealand as a backwards country isnt really the best way to get your point across. Let me correct myself so you can sleep easier. Josimar (spelling) for Brazil against Northern Ireland in the 86 world cup springs to mind. 🙄

Backwards? 😑 Now where did I say that? Relax mate...just taking the piss...not notice the winking smilie? 😉 Just a bit of wicked Irish humour! No hard feelings, eh? 🙂

NORTHERN IRELAND were good in their day...Espania '82 immediatley springs to mind...and Gerry Armstrong's winner against Spain. I think Laurie Sanchez may get a few decent results out of them this time round...they'll give England a good run for their money when they visit Windsor Park. They should have beaten Wales last time out!

Chill pills administered to both parties. 😮‍💨
Nothing to see here. Move along.

Your user handle is named after the film, right? Great flick...the late John Candy was a genius!

Oh yeah...ON topic...sort of! 😉 How do you think NZ will do in the WC qualifiers? Last time they were there was in '82 in a group with Brazil, the then USSR and Scotland IIRC..

Yeah my dad's Jamaican thats why i use koolruningz (great movie). New Zealands football team is not even worth talking about unfortunately. If by some miracle they do qualify it will be because the other teams didnt turn up. Football just isnt that big over here, rugby is still the #1 sport followed by cricket. I'll be cheering for England as its my home country, although if they dont change their tactics it will be a short journey.

Anybody got any clips of these goals? I remember seeing clips of a couple that are mentioned, but some I have no clue...

Carlos Alberta's against Italy in the 1970 World Cup. Or Archie Gemmels against Holland in 1978.
