Best football goals you have seen

It probably doesn't qualify as a genuinely great goal, but Platt's volley against Belgium in the last minute of extra time in the 2nd Round of the 1990 WC was the most cathartic goal I've seen. What a time to score... :)

Beckham's free kick against yer Greeks to send us to the 2002 WC was pretty special too.

However, of all the goals already mentioned, few goals touch Ryan Giggs' FA Cup Semi-Final effort against Arsenal in 1999 - second half of extra time, 1-1, and Giggs beats 6 men and lashes it home into the roof of the net. Astonishing.
Of course, an orgasmic moment if ever there was one. Teddy's and Ole's about a month later were rather special.
The 4 fourth brazilian goal in '70 is a masterclass of football, and Bobby Charlton knew how to strike a ball, Mexico '66 sticks in the mind. Great shout from Brumby there too regarding Platt's effort. Seedorf hit a 40 yard effort which defies belief also.

The one from when he was at Real Madrid? That one was indescribably and impossibly brilliant.
That's the one. I can comfortably say i have never seen a ball struck sweeter or harder.

I think Peter Daicos deserves a mention, some of his goals were freaky, but Blight after the siren was the best for my money.

vs me ( yes, i am the one man army). All playing naked. No holds barred.

Jolie passes to Aish, Aish passes to Sophie, who charges in and i jump on her, managing to roll around the field and push the ball away, which is picked up by Jolie...who heads it to Zhang.....who kicks it into the empty goal..........

okay okay. i dreamt that up.
But that WOULD be the best goal ever.

I was at that game, unbelievable. And that goal you're talking about, where Carey kicked like an inside-out banana running the wrong way, and then Lloyd kicked that one out of the air... :-O

Total brilliance, my mate was also there, in the pocket on the fence where Carey kicked it. Would have to be one of the all time great games.

I'm suprised Ronaldinho's goal from halfway where Seaman was the keeper hasn't been mentioned.. Top goal it was..

If by "top goal" you mean "outrageous fluke", then yes, yes it was.

It was just as outrageous as that Beckham goal previously mentioned.

Opportunist rather than great.
