Favourite World Cup Goals

[seanraff07]

I'm only 15 so i can only go by WC's in 2002 and 2006 as these are the only two i watched, can't remember WC 98 very well despite my Dad telling me i watched all the Scotland games, anyway...

I'd say Maxi Rodriguez's goal against Mexico at WC 2006..

YouTube - Maxi Rodriguez Extra Time Goal vs Mexico (2-1) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVVSOGLyAcU)

[Danderhall Hibs]

Bergkamp scored an absolute stunner v Argentina in 1998. I was watching with one of the worst hangovers in modern times but I'm pretty sure it was class.

Bergkamp v Argentina 1998.

The individual skill to control that pass, cut inside the defender and then finish with the outside of the boot is unreal. Most players could only dream of doing something like that. Sheer class.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

YouTube - carlos alberto (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HrjevD2vhk)

For me, the Carlos Alberto goal is the best goal ever, beats Maradona's. What a goal to score in a World Cup Final, just taking the piss out of the Italians. :thumbsup:

That was the first one I thought of :agree:.

The brilliantest ever World Cup team were Brazil 1982 though (FACT!!! :agree: :greengrin)

And the game against Italy was the brilliantest ever (again, FACT!!! :agree: :greengrin).

Socrates' goal (3:15) for Brazil in that game is my favourite - he and Zico slice through what wasn't just the best defence at that tournament but arguably one of the great all-time international back fives. And the coolest of finishes from a tight, tight angle...

YouTube - Brasil 1982 - The 11 Greatest Goals of Brasil 1982's Magic 11 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZxvYy5-ekI)

The classiest is probably the last one though- Eder (4:56)against the USSR. Sheer Brazilness :thumbsup:

[ekhibee]

Just a thought, probably quite a few might disagree, but it's just my opinion for what it's worth. The Brazil side of 1982 scored some of the best goals I've ever seen anywhere. They were just more enjoyable than any other team to watch that I can think of in any other World Cup. Although Italy played brilliantly to win that World Cup, I just think that that kind of unique entertainment died when Brazil didn't win that tournament. Nowadays many of us have Satellite TV, the Internet and so on, we kind of know what to expect when the South American teams play now, and a lot of the players play in Europe in any case. The novelty that was Brazil no longer exists, although they are probably still the best side in the world.

[CallumHibs07]

Cambiasso scored a peach for Argentina after a 25 or so passing move. Nothing beats this.

On yer bus with a lot of that.

Brazil team of 82 was the best team I have ever seen playing in a WC. Italy played brilliantly to win it [who can forget Tardelli running away after scoring in the final] but for me their game against Brazil was indeed the epitomy of everything good about the WC. Great classic game with great goals.

YouTube - Brazil v Italy 1982 World Cup - One of the greatest games (and commentaries) of all time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgRpRTbk1oo)

Brazil seemed to have about 18 forwards in each game in that WC though - scary! :agree:

[RMG_82]

archie gemmel for me

and although i hate to mention an england game, michael owens goal against argentina still send shivers down my spine when i watch it.

[HibeeMG]

In no particular order, here are some more for your consideration:

YouTube - 1986 World Cup JOSIMAR v Northern Ireland (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3UfakTu9Cc)

YouTube - King Hagi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVMdkhn0NHo)

These aren't my favourites as I think that Bergkamp's, Maradona's 2nd v England and Archie Gemmill's are the best ever scored at the WC. Just thought these might bring back some memories for some.

My favourite goal from that game was the very first, Rossis in the opening 5 minutes. Unfortunately every clip on youtube only shows the buildup from the halfway line:grr:; in fact an Italian defender intercepts it on his own byeline, every pass is insightful and its just the ultimate team goal. Very similar to Argentinas 20-odd pass move from the last world cup but with the added bonus of a great old-skool cross and header. Often forgotten in the '82 was the best brasil side ever' ****-fest that sometimes goes on:greengrin

Zidane's penalty in a world cup final! what balls to try it knowing the world is watching! Bravo Zizou:thumbsup:

[Bamba]

As soon as I saw the title of this thread, I instantly thought of Rodriguez's wonder goal against Mexico. I was in a pub in Germany and stood up to applaud I enjoyed it that much

[HibeeMcGinn1]

heres another one I thinks great. Just the sheer power on the header deserves an applause.

Just wondered about your thoughts on this. The corner that Italy got, that led to the 3rd goal? Didn't look like it should have been a corner to me. Just interested to hear what you think. Ok, it was given and Italy went on to win the World Cup, but just thought it shouldn't have been a corner.

[Greentinted]

Surprised this felly hasn't been mentioned yet - again from 1982, I give you big Nish's inspiration, the ubiquitous bevvy swallyin, fag smokin, legend that is:

Ooooooh Socrates.........(braw commentary too)

:greengrin It is a bit, but with good reason I suppose.

I do wonder whether it was the same with say, the Dutch team in '74? Don't know if they received the TV coverage to anywhere near the same degree however, which was what made it accessible for most of us.

Brazil were a bit funny for people in my generation. They had won three World Cups out of four relatively recently, the last being 1970 with all the great players they had then. As such they had a mystique and a value that's hard to relate to nowadays. The '82 squad were seen as the players to restore that glory and no wonder - a midfield of Socrates, Zico, Falcao and Eder is probably as good as it ever got. The football they played was pure on the whole and as such I think they captured the imagination in a way that very few have managed since.

Italy deserve a lot of credit for 82 though - great team, without a doubt.

I was at both of these games and the Sweden game in particular was amazing. Carlos Alberto is the one I always think about when people mention World Cup goals though, iconic you could say.
No one has mentioned the goal that Costa Rica scored against us. Not my favourite obviously but I can still picture it vividly as I was sat behind the goal as it went in with my good mate Spike Mandela and his Jambo cousin along with another twenty or so guys from Alloa.

[Oscar Lomax]

Any by 'The Vulture' Emilio Butragueno......absolute class.

[Greentinted]

Perhaps not the greatest ever goal but certainly an iconic moment for the bildungsroman of African football:
