Best Goal Ever Scored

[theworm2345]

Well?

[johno]

I'm partial to a few...

Giggs vs Arsenal 99 FA Cup Semi Final replay..

That goal by Bergkamp

Roberto Carlos that Freekick against France

Gasgoine Euro 2000 lifted ball over defender and volley

Rivaldo's divine hattrick

ooh ooh and Dino Baggio's shot from a mile in the 94 world cup

[spoonman]

Van Basten volley against Russia at Euro88 final

Best goal ever in any final imo (coud be slighty biased)

[Leto]

Gasgoine Euro 2000 lifted ball over defender and volley



(Euro '96, v. Scotland.)

I'm partial to van Basten's volley as well, for sheer improbability value.

[Sagy]

Pele's first goal vs. Sweden in the 1958 final (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYjNQwd3Wa4&eurl=) - lifting the ball over the last defender and then a volley into the net.

Ari Haan vs. Italy in 1978 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olivrHXgSc4&eurl=) - a great shot from 35-40 meters out

Maradona's first goal vs. England in 1986 (http://www.kenaston.org/World_Cup/Videos/86_maradona_argentina_v_england_solo.avi) - Maradona beats half the English team single handily ;) to score one of the best goals in WC history, but only the second most famous goal of the game.

Carlos Alberto vs. Italy in 1970 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HrjevD2vhk&eurl=) - Nice buildup, sublime pass by Pele and a world class finish by Carlos Alberto.

Four different type of goals, all on the highest stage the world has to offer. Depending on what type you like, one of them is probably the "best goal ever".

While long-range goals, volleys and team moves are all great, I personally prefer 'individual' goals that contain skill and a bit of cunning. I also like goals where the player opens himself out to make the angle for himself when putting the finishing touch to a flowing move. Meh, here's some to look at...

Bergkamp versus Newcastle

Ibrahimovic versus Italy

That Zlatan solo

Bergkamp versus Newcastle

Another of my favourites. I never looked at Dabizas the same way again (poor man was just in the right place at the wrong time).

[Henry Porter]

Van Basten's bicycle for me.

@ Leto

In fairness to him and the rest of the defense, we could easily have a greatest goal against Newcastle competition. There are loads of candidates! :D

[Leto]

Uncalled for :D That said, Rooney seems to be working away on his own on that score!

[dor02]

Arie Haan for Holland at WC 78 against Italy. The shot came from around 40 metres and the shot went past the greatest keeper of all-time, Dino Zoff.

[spoonman]

Van Basten's bicycle for me.

[ShaRule]

WOW Zlatan solo definatelly!

wow, exactly karimi types of goals!

[DerMongerer]

Definitely for me, are two goals I've never before seen duplicated, to any degree, shape or form on a football pitch:

My favourite Manuel Negrete scissors kick vs. Bulgaria in WC86

Number 2

Eder vs. the Soviet Union in WC82. I dare anyone to say they've seen goals like these before. Look at the build-up to both of these goals.

[SoccerScout]

I dont think there is a doubt over what was the greatest goal ever..one we will never see again...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=BHTE0uK8JIw&search=inter%20falcao

1976. Brazilian Semi Finals. In extra time...a much needed goal...which took Inter to the finals...which they won. Falcao..the greatest goal ever.
