Couldnt say if they are the best as I never saw them. 78 is the 1st World Cup I remember.
This is probably the best team goal ive seen.
Not the best that goes to Diegos 2nd v England for me.
First World Cup I remember is Espana 82 , but this goal is specialQuote:

Its the greatest goal of all time, scored by the greatest team of all time with an assist from the greatest player of all time, wearing the greatest kit of all time.
Nothing beats Hudsons against Derby.
That tip tap by Pele followed by a beautiful weighted pass right into oncoming Carlos AlbertoQuote:

My favourite was the 82 Brazil team.
I was gutted when they lost.
Yeah I was as well. The game v Italy was brilliant though and at least it all ended well and the Germans were beaten in the final.Quote:

Not just because they were hosts and banging out their anthem twice before the match, but because after 25 minutes they panicked and completely lost all discipline and shape, Humiliated! The only thing i can compare it too personaly, is when i returned from holiday as a 16 year old and my mother had tidied my bedroom for me, she'd found my stash of Penthouse, Escort, Readerswives magazines and stacked them neatly on my side cabinet!Quote:

I’ve only ever seen highlights of the Brazil team of 1970 and that goal scored in the final is a thing of beauty, one of the best, if not the best goal I’ve ever seen. Also, when Pele dummies the Uruguayan keeper, has to be one of the most outrageous pieces of skill ever. Just a shame he put it past the post, as for me that would have been the greatest goal of all time.

Deyna, (ex Man City who died tragically a few years later) and Charlie Cooke (ex Chelsea) also played in that game. I only went because the legend Carlos Alberto was playing.
In total agreement with you there Bob. Very difficult to compare sides from different eras so it comes down to personal preferences and for me that Brazilian side was something else. I just loved Rivelino and spent hours over the local park trying to bend free kicks like him.Quote:

By the way I thought the 1970 England team was their best ever but that's a discussion for another day.
The greatest description of the greatest goal of all time… etc…Quote:

Someone will probably correct me, but it must have been around 10pm.
Great times!
Greatest goal ever? Not even close for me, but you should never ever compare eras for goals. That sort of goal, there’s about 10 a tournament of them now but was revolutionary at the time. You can say your favourite and my favourite is Van Bronkhorst v Uruguay
Greatest team then that’s a bit easier to debate. It seems they were so far advanced of the rest of the teams you could say so. But same could be said about some of the others like the Dutch.
If you put them against a World Cup winning Spain, they’d get turned over like a pub team, but it’s all about eras.
Greatest ever non-goal

For me, Brazil 1 Germany 7 is the most extraordinary result of all time, for all those reasons. I've never seen another game where I just could not believe what I was watching.Quote:

Bit of a shame Germany eased off in the second half, and that Brazil scored that consolation.
