What's The Best Football Match U've Ever Watched? by hustler(m): 3:08pm On Oct 20, 2006
Just to let members share their experiences of great football moments.

I think mine was the Nigeria vs Brazil game at Atlanta 96, and the Damman Miracle.


And how could i forget the Milan vs Madrid game at the San Siro (UCL 2003) that Sheva finished off a beautiful attacking move.

to be honest the Liverpool Milan match wasn't a bad match either just that liverpool fans would feel it more than i did.

Still waiting for entries,

The best football match i have ever seen had to be:

Arsenal Vs Man Utd(FA cup S/final 1999)

It was the day Ryan Giggs scored the best goal ever scored by any football player in the whole wide world.
Giggs single-handedly turned football from a team game to an individual game.


@ Kitaun,
Did u see Ruud's goal last night?
How do u stop RVN from scoring?
He is the best goal poacher in the modern game.
Re: What's The Best Football Match U've Ever Watched? by kitaun(m): 12:41am On Oct 24, 2006
Henry remains his father goals-wise, let him compete for best goalpoacher with the likes of Inzaghi, Trezeguet and co. But really i was happy 4 him yesterday, he should have had an hatrick

Real Madrid vs Roma

UCL group stage match at the Bernabeu, Real had lost the opening game away 3-0 and sorely needed to win this one.

first 30mins of the 1st half, they were 2 goals down astonishingly. . . . . then, out of the dead the Galacticos showed us all why they were just that. . . . $250million worth of superstars scattered all around the field and a bunch of mediocres were making 'em feel so hopeless in front of their home fans. . . i guess the embarassment was just too much for 'em. . .

they produced fireworks in the 2nd half to turn the game around. . . . . Zidane was just outstanding; Raul lead the charge like a true leader, Guti worked his heart out. . . . . everybody in a madrid shirt gave it a 150%, they just didn't want to lose this one and they fought like lions! in the end, they overturned the deficit. . . 4-2 it ended in favor of the Galacticos.

that game always remains one if my very best c'uz it always reminds me that if u really want something and u put ur all into getting that thing - u're determined and committed to the cause - u'll b rewarded somehow, someway!

I've never seen Real play with as much character as they did that night. . . it was AWESOME!

Hmm

Barcelona v Valencia

Barca needed to win to gain C-League qualification

And Rivaldo produced what I regard the greatest individual
performance ever in a soccer match

the hat-trick, a shot from outside the box, a freekick and
then to top it up a beautiful bicycle kick.

Arsenal v Manutd ( last season) Emirates stadium. The 93rd minute header from henry that beat van de sar was a classic. Alex fergurson's red face after wards and the fact that he was trying to rip his hair out after that dying minute goal is what i call " PRICELESS VIEWING", Haaaaaaaaaaaa! grin
Re: What's The Best Football Match U've Ever Watched? by ow11(m): 9:22pm On Sep 15, 2007

Valencia Vs Barcelona UCL semifinal i think 99/00  the one at the Mastella
Liverpool V Milan    UCL final 04/05
Argentina V England world cup 1998

B.Faso vs DRC - African Cup of Nations 98 Not so sure

But its was 3-1 to B.Faso with about 5mins to go including time added on at the end of the 90min; and there was an injury to a player. . . . . during that li'l break the DRC got his troops together and gave 'em a real mouthfl; whatever it was that he said, did the trick! they back got onto the pitch and by the end of the tie, it was 3-4 in favor of the DRC in just 5mins. ASTONISHING!
got friends who still insist that it was jazz. . . . . if so, then i'd advise FIFA to allow all managers to go get a li'l dose of that jazz and use. . . . certainly would make the game much more exciting for us fans grin

WYC // Portugal - Cameroon Can't remember the year and if it was under-17's or 21's

Cameroon had 1 draw and 1 loss from their previous matches and badly needed a win to make it through the group stages. . . . . well, they didn't get the win but gave us one of the most exciting matches in WYC history!
at halftime, it seemed like curtains 4 the Africans; it was Portugal 5-0 over Cameroon in a classic Portuguese exhibiton fluid passing, quick movement and goal-scoring. . . . one of the goals was a drop-shot from the half-way line a la' David Beckham!
But the Africans cam back from the break a different side that played the first stanza; they dished out some exquisite African flavor of their own; Strength, movement and skills. . . . . . by the 40thmin it was all square. . . . . 5 all! what a come-back. . . the Portuguese never knew what hit 'em and it could have been worse, c'uz in the dying embers of the game, the Cameroonians rattled the bar; a rasping drive that was destined for the top right hand corner of the net. . . . . . Guess the god of soccer wasn't smiling their way. it could'a been WYC football archive's biggest and most astonishing upset ever! it remains ever-green in mine!!!

Brazil - Netherlands at the France 98 World Cup was a very crazy match. . Damn,. the action was from start to finish.
Pure class and beautiful football by those whose know how to play the game. . .

The match ended 1-1 in regulation time and Brazil won on penalties. .

Patrick Kluivert was on fire that night. .The Boer brothers, Marc Overmars, Edgar Davids. , and just so many other crazy players. .
Brazil had Dunga, Carlos, Rivaldo and the young Ronaldo then. . .

One of the greatest matches I've seen with my eyes!!!. lol

and of course United vs Bolton last season. . . .
that game was kraazieee. . . Definitely one of United's best performance yet. .,

Re: What's The Best Football Match U've Ever Watched? by davidif: 8:38am On Dec 14, 2007
Best games ever

EURO 2000 HOLLAND VS. CZECH REPUBLIC PART 1 (PART 2 WAS IN EURO 2004)
I lost track of hom many times the czech's hit the bar

NEWCASTLE VS. LIVERPOOL PART 2 (PART 1 WAS PREVIOUS SEASON) 1996/97 PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON
Asprilla, Shearer, David Ginola vs. Steve Mc Manaman, Robbie Fowler, Stan Collymore

UEFA CL FINAL 2000/2001 VALENCIA VS. BAYERN MUNICH: Ottmar Hitzfeld vs. Hector Raul Cuper (master tacticians)
Heavy weight battle. Never seen so much post to post action in my life especially when both teams got desperate in extra time and wanted to win now, instead of going to penalty shootout.

ATLANTA '96 NIGERIA VS. BRAZIL. need i say more?

2002 WORLD CUP SOUTH KOREA/JAPAN
REPUBLIC OF IRELAND VS. GERMANY 1ST ROUND
Scene: The republic of Ireland without their talismanic skipper and a very young team needed a draw in this game to have a chance of qualifying for the 2nd round.
Last gasp winner from Robbie Keane after several attempts on goal (they basically laid a siege on Oliver Kahn's goal post but no breakthrough). Injury time, ball headed down his path from Niall Quinn and he hit the shot at point blank range. Can somebody spell euphoria Up till that point, i had never been happier in my life, i was rolling on the floor, screaming, jumping for joy, running all over the place absolutely ecstatic. I guess there is a little irishman in all of us grin grin grin

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND VS SPAIN 2ND ROUND
Greatest individual performance i've ever seen from a player (Damien Duff) who took over towards the end of regulation and persisted to torment the entire spanish team, how the spanish escaped is beyond me. Even after the loss to penalties, the boy deserved a 21 gun salute for that performance.

SOUTH KOREA VS. ITALY 2ND ROUND
Probably the greatest day of my life; watching the azzuris misery grin grin grin
God bless Ahn Jung Wang, Guus Hiddink and the entire country of south korea for this one, oh and panucci for causing the equalizer. ha ha ha
Re: What's The Best Football Match U've Ever Watched? by davidif: 8:40am On Dec 14, 2007

The semi finals of Euro 200 between Holland and Italy, followed by the finals between France and Italy. Classic matches, the Italians really do know how to defend, not to mention the fantastic tournament Toldo was having.
