Greatest ever sporting come backs

It was England's own fault they lost in 2004 and if the ref knew what a sending off offence was, as well as anyboody but David Beckham taking a penalty.

Haha, yeah, maybe bias, but still, 2 goals in 3 (technically roughly 2:30 from when Sheringham's crossed the line) minutes > 3 goals in longer (no idea in what timespan the German goals came in, know it wasn't long, but was longer than 3 minutes).

Depends how the opposition is playing, tbh.

Underrated match it was.

428 or whatver the score was in the Joburg match..

If I was captain, I'd have told the boys to get some batting practice and aim for 300...

^As a wildcard, greatest moment.

As much as I hate to say it, Hewitt coming back against Federer in 2003 Davis Cup, when he was 2 sets to 0 down, and a break down in the third. Was ridiculous, and I think it was the catalyst that set of Federer down his path of greatness. It stung him quite badly from what it sounds like when he talks about it.

Hewitt hasn't beaten him since.

diego corrales v jose luis castillo

castillo knocked corrales down twice in round ten, and as he went in for the kill the third time, out of nowhere corrales unleashed a beast of a left hook which staggered castillo, and corrales unleashed a rampant flurry of punches which castillo could do nothing about and the fight was stopped as castillo was all over the place. incredible fight.

Cash did something similar in a Davis Cup final against Sweden - lost the first 2 sets 6-2, 6-2, came back and won in 5.

Recently, Australia in Adelaide last Ashes series - conceded 550+ 1st dig, conceded 1st innings lead , not much time left in the game - you know the rest.

Of course, the Botham-Willis one was 100s better than Adelaide, as was Dravid/ Laxman

 

[Pratters]

Will have to go with Man U.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Yeah, I remember being about 5 or something, and being really upset. I went to bed in the 75th minute, and went to sleep. I remember my dad shouting at me, and telling me to come downstairs. What a night.

Red Sox - Down 0-3 to Yankees in 2004 American League Championship, won last 4 games.

Considering the history behind the two teams, that has to be the greatest comeback ever. For those that don't know, the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees are bitter rivals in baseball. The Yankees are the sport's dominant team, having won the most championships ever. They both play in the same division, so that makes all the winning the Yankees used to do even tougher on the BoSox. To add to it all, the Red Sox traded away the games best and most legendary player (Babe Ruth) to the Yankees for…cash.

In that 2004 series, the Yankees had the Red Sox right where they wanted them. They were up 3-0, in a best of 7 series. They needed just one more win. They had the lead in game 4 and had arguably the most dominant closer in baseball's history closing the game for them. The Red Sox ended up tying the game in the 9th inning, and won it in extra-innings. They then won the remaining 3 games to win the series. This is considered by most people here to be the biggest choke-job in American sports history.
