All completely different and not in any particular order but all breathtaking in their own way.
Papiss Cisse for Newcastle v Chelsea. Hit from quite near the touchline that bent like no other I've seen. A banana shot +.
Zlatan for Sweden v England. An overhead kick from miles out. Quite extraordinary.
Maradona for Argentina v England. He decided to take on the whole England team (well almost) and made them look like parks footballers.
I still think the goal against Belgium was Maradona's best at the 86 world cup
How can it be better than his goal against England? It's the same thing but not as good.Quote:

Just watched it again for the first time in 30+ years and yeah it's not nearly as good as I remembered 🫢
The England goal happened first. The Belgium goal was the semifinal.Quote:

He was bending his kicks before the balls that made it possible were even being made. truly awesome goal, much as I dislike Manure nd anyone associated with it.
Well worth a watch. Great vision and deadly with both feet!!

Wow what a player! In terms of his achievements he is (bald) head and shoulders above any footballer from the UK. Only he and Nobby Stiles have won both the World Cup and European Cup but Bobby’s goalscoring record makes him the GOAT of England.Quote:

Isn't that the one where he runs to the camera and screams with those crazy eyes?Quote:

Miles from goal, plenty of players ahead of him and the composure to round Shilton before sliding it home under pressure from defenders desperately trailing in his wake.
Phenomenal 👏
Don't you start getting things all wrong as well I've already done that bit!!!Quote:
