Best World Cup goal

[GF7]

The James Rodriguez thread got me thinking.

What's the best WC goal you can remember?

GVB against Uruguay takes some beating for me

 

[Johnny Yen]

Should be a fairly obvious answer, Maradona’s solo effort against England.

Greatest goal of all time.

 

[Jan Wyck]

Carlos Alberto.

Football poetry.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Maradona or Carlos Alberto

 

[GBOY]

Carlos Alberto.

This is the correct answer.
Not an Italian within 3 yards of the ball at any time during the move (including the keeper).
Maradona in 2nd place.
Tardelli’s goal in the 82’ final (just for the celebration) in 3rd place.

Carlos Alberto is the finest team goal world cup or league that you'l ever see

 

[club175]

Take your pic between maradonna, Bergkamp or the one scored by Argentina ( maybe cambiasso). Controversial I know but never seen the fuss about Carlos Alberto goal. Looks like a training match where the opposition have been told not to bother trying to tackle

I will answer different and use only in my lifetime.

1. Gio
2. Cambiasso
3. James Rodriguez.

I'm sure Forlan scored a couple of belters in 2010 also.

 

[Talktalk]

The most remembered goal is Geoff Hursts in 66 as it’s still talked about .

The best in my view is Maradonas

Marco Tardelli, the commentary leading up to the goal and the celebration, brilliant.

Greatest goal of all time.

Greatest goal by the greatest player of all time

Andrés Escobar own goal Colombia vs USA 1994 WC, it was a killer

 

[bluenosebazza]

I think thats the only goal ive ever seen in a pub of neutrals where every single person applauded it.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

For me it's Rodriguez. I genuinely think that goal is underrated. Didn't Van Persie's header win best goal at that world cup?

Outrageous. Just look at Rodriguez's goal. It's perfection.

 

[Queens Club]

Maradona then Archie Gemmil’s. Think Archie,s it was voted the best of all time before Maradona came along and took the title

3 or 4 bits of skill exist within that one goal, its remarkable. I went straight down the pitch after and we were all trying it.

 

[Jjbscotty]

Love that goal.

I was the same after Gazza's goal in 1996. By 2014 I was going down the park at night for different reasons.

Played mid afternoon in boiling temperatures at 6k ft altitude may just be a reason . It,s an iconic goal, and one of the best.

 

[McQueen]

Saeed Owairan for Saudi Arabia against Belgium in USA 94. Even better than Maradona’s against England. Best ever. End thread.

Immediately into my head is Bergkamp vs the argies.

Carlos Alberto, Maradona, Archie Gemmell

It was a great goal,with brilliant players involved, but as you say,it was almost at walking pace.

Oh mate!!

 

[G-Hallbear]

Tim Cahill scored an absolute peach in Brazil.

a genuine obscure World Cup worldy!!

Having seen that goal, it has to be that. The lay off is sublime.

Arie Haan, Holland against Italy

 

[talkingsportsjacket]

The Brazilian side of 82 scored some sublime efforts.

 

[Brian Laudrup]

This is up there

i was in Ibiza at the time and what a night after with all the crazy mental Dutch supporters in full party mode

 

[imager]

Archie Gemmell v Holland 78.

 

[Puggy]

I think Cambiasso's goal was better than Albertos.

 

[Jan Wyck]

Tostao the centre forward starts the move by winning the ball back in the left back position.

You actually have to view this goal as the culmination,not only of the game, but of the way Brazil played throughout the tournament. The greatest World Cup Finals ever.

I was thirteen at the time and obsessed with Rangers and all things football. The Brazil of 1970 enchanted and mesmerised not only me, but every football fan.

To be fair, there was a shit goalkeeper for four of those

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

Maradona then Archie Gemmil’s. Think Archie,s it was voted the best of all time before Maradona came along and took the title

Other way about and id agree. Holland were one of the best teams at the time
