Soda Jerk Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I think it was the best goal I've ever seen, because no other goal I've ever seen has caused me to nearly flip my laptop over and spill my drink on the sofa. I didn't know what I was doing. Possibly trying to clap and/or cheer with a glass of juice in my hand, over a stream on a laptop. I looked like a twat anyway, and I made a mess. So, yeah. Best goal ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Still think Zidane's in the CL final was the best. Maybe not as acrobatic but technically flawless and much more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eupraxia Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I always felt that Zidane's goal primarily came off his shinpad. No doubting the importance of the goal, but it always looked to me like a shinner.Zlatan's last night was ace. The assist by Joe Hart was really quite exceptional too. Great teamwork.

The Milner Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 There have been three occasions in my life when i have almost shit myself after watching a goal, Zlatans last night, Rooney against City, and Fallon against Hibs I was too young to really understand Bobby Carlos's toe poke against France.

ca_gere Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Has anyone seen one of these all-time great goals live in person?I was at the argentina v brazil game where Messi scored a goal that's in the puskas list this year. It wasn't that great - I think they just needed a Messi goal in there somewhere.One of my mates was at the game where trev sinclair scored his overhead. He missed it coz he was eating a pie. Says that bite was one the biggest regrets in his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Has anyone seen one of these all-time great goals live in person?When he was on loan at Partick, Graham Dorrans scored an even better overhead kick than Ibra-thingumabob did last night: it was from further out, and he had players to beat. Jaw hit the floor when I saw it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Has anyone seen one of these all-time great goals live in person?I saw 'that' Cantona goal. Sunderland, 1996.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjQwIqkYDeoI also saw this one, also by Cantona, but I had the worst view ever, stood behind the tallest man on earth, so I essentially missed it. But I was there, man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphas Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I think you'll all find this is the best goal ever scored. Gave the keeper the eyes then lobbed him. Top that Zlatan! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I remember as a kid this was the best goal I'd ever seen 'live' There are better quality vids out there but the soundtrack and image quality does nothing but amplify the nostalgia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 So this is the list of best goals this year:1. Hatem Ben Arfa (Newcastle) v Blackburn2. Gaston Maella (Nacional Potosi) v The Strongest3. Radamel Falcao (Atletico Madrid) v America de Cali4. Olivia Jimenez (Mexico) v Switzerland5. Lionel Messi (Argentina) v Brazil6. Moussa Sow (Fenerbahce) v Galatasaray7. Miroslav Stoch (Fenerbahce) v Genclerbirligi8. Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu (Ghana) v Guinea9. Eric Hassli (Vancouver) v Toronto10. Neymar (Santos) v Internacional Neymar or falcao for me. Neymar's is frightening - such a direct, attacking run. Falcao's is pure technique.

Soda Jerk Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Oddly enough, I think the Messi one is the least spectacular of the lot.I love a volley over a mazy run anyday, so I'd go with Falcao too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't anything special. The Ghanaian one is a classic bobbly pitch african cup of nations bullet - they are dime a dozen. The Vancouver one is pretty good but he was wide open so i'm taking points off. Ben arfa's involved some luck, the behind the head flick one is just a novelty/fluke and I can't remember the rest.

Soda Jerk Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I watched them all just now. They are all grand to watch. I love the Ben Arfa one. It had a bit of Zlatan about it (that goal he scored at Ajax) when he just kept turning when he should have taken a shot. He just seems to keep going on and on, and then finally blasts it. The keepers reaction is pretty hilarious. Totally merked.Falcao has decided what he's going to do as soon as the corner is taken. I don't understand how nobody gets near him, but the connection is perfect.I like how Maella's goal is against a team called THE STRONGEST.

Soda Jerk Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Yeah, I like the Badu one alot. That Stoch volley is mint too. Man, they are all pretty belting, but Messi's could be swapped out of there for a number of goals. I'd even pick Cisse's against Chelsea over that.

Murrr Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 No Papiss on that best goals list makes me sad. I prefer it to the Ben Arfa goal.Speaking of Papiss, Senegal are apparently trying to block us from playing him this weekend. I have no idea what that means and if they can actually do that, but piss off, guys. I know Papiss has been playing drunk this season, but our only other fit strikers are Ba and Shola. Are you really gonna make us stick Nile Ranger on the bench? Get out of here.Our list of unavailable players is bloody stupid. Coloccini, Jonas, Cabaye, Perchinho, Sammy Ameobi, Gosling, Ryan Taylor, Vuckic and now potentially Papiss and Anita. Bloody hell. Even fucking XISCO is injured. XISCO, ffs. The lack of central midfielders will unfortunately give Pardew and excuse to employ the God-awful 4-4-2 system he's used for most of the season, which is a shame. Let's hope Tiote and his son Bigirimana can nobble Michu before he bloody scores. It's our only hope.Nile Ranger. Fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Messi goal is great but Brazil were sitting off him quite a bit. Also doesn't help that he scores so many goals like that it becomes normal. One of the biggest reactions I remember having to a great goal (while watching at home alone, not actually at a game or in a pub) was Cambiaso for Argentina against Serbia. Jumped right off my sofa I did. TOTAL FOOTBALL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
