Best football goals you have seen

My favourite 2 goals both come from Aresnal (who I support)

1. Henry vs. MAN U - I think it has been mentioned, he was outside the box and hit it on the volley.

2. Bergkamp (my favourite player) vs. Newcastle - had his back to the defender, played the ball with the outside of his foot, spun around the defender, regathered the ball and scored. Superb.

You could mean to jump off the top of the London Eye and survive. Managing it doesn't make it not down to luck.

Of course, but he meant it, so a lot of it is skill. I don't deny thatfor it to come off requires an amount of luck, no matter how skilled you are.

A yard or so and Sullivan was there.

You could say that for any other goal in the history of football to be fair marc. Keepers are only ever inches from saving a goal. Good positioning from a goalie would always prevent a goal, but that's just the way football works.

Yes, but a bloke running past players and scoring a goal involves far more skill than it does luck.

Granted but i wasn't arguing against that, i was referring to the Beckham goal. I happen to think that Giggs goal against Arsenal was better than Beckhams and Ronaldinhos goal. But then again anyone who has played football knows how hard it is to do what Beckham did - that is an extraordinary amount of skill from open play with a only a few seconds to think and execute.

The goal that's had me gobsmacked the most was actually scored by one of my uni 1st XI centre forwards

We'd just said last goal wins and he obviously had somewhere to be because he picked the ball up inside his own half, skinned two men (both involved in uni footy) and then unleashed an absolute rip-snorter from 30-35 yards. No dip, no curl, no swerve just pure unadulterated raw heat on it and it literally went right into the top corner past the outstretched hand of the 1st team keeper. Most amazing thing was that he'd hit it without breaking stride or even slowing down. I barely saw it to be honest until I saw the stanchion(sp?) behind the goal start bouncing around.

Gobsmacked would be the word. :D

I've seen a few unbelievable goals scored in school football as well - mostly by the same player, my former school's Ghanaian centre-forward-***-playmaker. He once secured a 2-2 draw for us by scoring two screamers, one with each foot, in the closing minutes of each half. The second one involved turning a defender with a backheel 40 yards out, dropping his shoulder past another, and lashing one right-footed into the top corner which dipped over the keeper. Stunning, especially when you watch it from the touchline 30 feet away.

I'll probably have a few to contribute in the coming weeks as Xpression FM FC don't appear to have any defenders.
