4-3 for Mazzola. Unfortunately the former Chamois Lee Chapman is not eligible, but I liked his little roulette or I can't say what. Nice goal too.
Peter Osgood vs AC Milan 65/66 Fairs Cup - best view from 0:22 on replay & Ronaldinho vs Chelsea 04/05 CL
Van Basten Zidane Yeah, I know I'm being boring and we've seen those two goals a hundred times already.
As the thread starter, I'll go through them all as I know I missed some (and might as well call my ones ones too which anyone can do if they like - maybe leaving a bit of a gap to let others do it first is a good idea though, and they should all be close calls by definition). Post 1 - Neymar (difficulty in terms of the touch and setting himself up rather than letting the defender get the ball) Post 2 - Le Tissier (more touches required so again probably more 'difficult' - I use inverted commas as he didn't find it difficult literally lol! - concentrated on individuality even though the Gascoigne goal was from a better move) Post 3 - Del Piero (not necessarily better but I prefer/remember the finish more - again on the individual aspect) Post 4 - Del Piero (close call and arguably not such an impressive/rare finish but I like the skills a bit more) Post 5 - Belanov as stated Post 7 - Fischer as stated Post 9 - Bergkamp for creativity (like the Recoba touch but not as difficult to pull off as Neymar's otherwise I might have had a hard decision) Post 16 - Suarez (wouldn't always take a volley over a chip or dribble/chip but feeling it was slightly more impressive somehow - at first glance was thinking a Totti volley would be compared) Post 22 - Hidegkuti (even earlier in the game!, and if anything more with a slight edge on working the ball into position to shoot rather than the shot probably; close call when looking at where receiving ball though and Forest move comes from deeper) Post 24 - Bergkamp as stated (Page 2 in next post)
Post 26 - Cantona (for the quality of control in small space and the finish, but maybe I like the Mazzola one more) Post 28 - Osgood (the touch before the shot seals it for me, as it was just as 'out of the blue' probably) Post 29 - Weah (edges it on skills/creativity possibly) Post 30 - Savicevic (maybe favouritism, but a case that it's a bit slicker and more difficult given the moving ball) Post 32 - Van Basten (have to go that way for the perfect connection and the angle, but can see why Zidane's goal would be regarded similarly)
Not to mention the finish of course! Although Ronaldo's rounding of the keeper was also impressive, and I felt he played a big part in fashioning the chance with one well timed pass in particular. Maybe overall the one I'd be most certain on out of my own (the Fischer one would get that description out of everything on the thread I suppose) but I felt they were comparable enough anyway. Not necessarily for the Weah/Ronaldo one but for a few of the options I selected I'd probably make a different call on favourite goal as opposed to best (so chose best if I felt I could split it that way but otherwise favourite - hence Neymar over Zola and Del Piero over Rui Costa respectively, marginally).
For the last three you posted: Post 28.) Osgood vs Ronaldinho = Ronaldinho Post 29.) Ronaldo vs Weah = Weah Post 30.) Savicevic vs Messi = Messi
Arjen Robben's match winner against Man United in 2009-10 CL Can be favourably compared to Lothar Matthaus vs Bayer Leverkusen
Thomas Muller in CL last season vs Olympiakos Sandro Sirigu scored this one this very week A little dissimilar but this one probably takes the cake
The third one definitely, but I'm not sure it was intentional. Looked more like a cross. Between the first two, I'd say the second one was better because the angle was very tight.
In term of pure aesthetic pleasure, I will go with the 1st one against Liverpool. Two Dutch guys scoring remarkably similar goals Robben vs Spain Bergkamp vs Argentina
I like Bergkamp's more. In it's context, it was far more important. Also, I think De Boer's pass was the much harder one to pull off, and I think the ball was moving faster when Bergkamp brought it down. Looks like a deflection on Robben's goal as well?
Yes, there was a mild deflection. This is the best video I got which properly showed the deflection. Check out post 0:54

Bicycle kick goals Mauro bressan vs Barcelona 1999 (Imo a candidate for the best goal ever scored in top flight European football history regardless of the competition) Simone loria vs chievo 2005/06 (Like bressan his only career highlight is this goal..but what a highlight,probably a contender for the best ever goal scored in serie a history) Trevor sinclair vs Barnsley 1996/97 Honourable mentions Rivaldo hattrick goal vs valencia 2000/01 Zlatan ibrahimovic 4th goal vs England 2012 Wayne Rooney vs Manchester City 2011/12(it was definitely a bicycle not a so called "shin kick") Hugo sanchez vs logroñes 1988 Marco van Basten vs FC den bosch(I think in 85/86,if I had to choose between this and his bicycle kick against ifk Gothenburg when he was in milan i would pick the one from ajax everyday of the week)
Not a bicycle kick per se but Lewa's 5th vs Wolfsburg was a thing of beauty. It was even better with Phil Bonney's commentary. https://gfycat.com/WealthyLikableKusimanse For entire match highlights, http://www.starsports.com/football/...ert-lewandowski-destroys-wolfsburg/index.html Comparing bicycle goals only, Franck Ribery and Eren Derdiyok has 2 brilliant goals in recent years
"Erhhh whata beauty,whata hit son whata hit" Andy gray/Martin Tyler was a brilliant commentating double act.
