Diego Maradona, for Argentina, in the Mexico World Cup in 1986.\n\nPity about this awful goal, because in the same match he scored an all-time-great goal.  He was so good he didn't need to cheat, but cheat he did.

In June 1954, the FIFA congress in Bern, Switzerland decided to award the 1958 Football World Cup to Sweden. It was won by Brazil, who beat Sweden 5-2 in the final for their first title. The World Cup marked the debut on the world stage of 17-year-old Pelé, who would grow to be considered one of the greatest footballers of all time.\n\nThe Final was played in Solna, in the Råsunda Stadium, as 50,000 people watched in amazement as the Brazilians went a goal down after four minutes. The Brazilians were undismayed as Vava equalised shortly afterwards and then sent them a goal ahead before half time. In the second half Pelé out shone every one, notching up two goals, Zagalo added a goal in between, and Sweden managed a consolation goal. But the game really belonged to Pelé, and the Jules Rimet trophy belonged to Brazil the World Cup Winners.\n\n\nTop scorer:\nJust Fontaine (FRA)\n13 goals

Esteban Cambiasso's goal (Argentina's second vs. Serbia) was beautiful perfection.  It was deliberate, it involved the whole team, and it was one of the best moments of the game.

Ummm...let's go with 3 goals.  It can/will/should be more, but I don't want to put more pressure on our albiceleste. :)\n\nVamos Argentina!

Yes! That was a great game! Their goalie was awesome! I thought that was one of the better games so far. I was definitely rooting for them. Don't know if I can hope they beat England but I do hope they keep it close.

In the history of the World Cup? who the hell knows? It isnt in any books. The most important meeting is the 3-0 win for France in 1998.

1. Pele's goal in 1958 against Sweden in which he beat a defender with an overhead lob and swivelled around to knock in to the roof Brazil's third goal.[I was not born then ,but I know I would have continued screaming  for at least a week after]\n\n2.Maradona's meandering run against England in 1986 which saw him fly past five defenders including the goalie before tapping into the net.[that was sheer claaaass!

France-Brazil World Cup 1998 Finale. Why? Because it was the first time Brazil got their arses kicked really bad. 3-0.

For Internationals, I'd choose Italy 0-0 Holland, Euro 2000 semi-finals, the best ever game with no goals.\n\nFor clubs, very tight, many would choose the high scoring European Cup Finals like Real Madrid's thrashing of Frankfurt in 1960 and last season's final between Milan and Liverpool. 1999 was exciting but only at the death, in between it was quite a bore with Bayern sitting on their lead and United lacking ideas.\n\nMy choice centres on 3 games:\n\n1994 Final in Athens, Barcelona 0-4 AC Milan, Milan's greatest final where they completely outclassed the favourites Barcelona. Marcel Desailly and Dejan Savicevic gave top class displays even shading Milan's 3 Dutch legends when they defeated Steaua Bucharest in the 1989 Final (another 4-0 win). \n\n2000 Quarter-Final Manchester United 2-3 Real Madrid. A virtuoso display from Fernando Redondo overwhelmed a Man Utd playing at its' peak in Old Trafford. Very few teams go to Old Trafford and outplay Man Utd\n\n2001 Semi-Final Bayern Munich 2-1 Real Madrid.(Real had 7 straight corners at one point, but Bayern held very firm. At the end of the game, Ottmar Hitzfeld stood on the track absorbing the fireworks display with the song 'I Will Survive' blasting on the stadium speakers.

GER-CRC, TUN-SDA, GER-POL, GHA-CZE, ARG-MEX, POR-NED, and GER-ARG were pretty exciting, as far as this tournament goes.  In terms of lots of chances, GER-POL and GHA-CZE are probably the best; in those games, Germany and Ghana really pressed forward and had exciting moments in front of goal, while Poland and the Czech Republic were able to get good counter-attacks against them, which was fun to watch.  GER-CRC had lots of goals, and was closer than the final score suggests.  TUN-SDA was just had a great second half, with a very late equalizer.  POR-NED was pretty exciting in part because it was a close game, but mainly because the referee made a spectacle of himself.  ARG-MEX and ARG-GER were exciting because they were close games that went to extra time and a shoot-out, respectively, but the quality of play wasnt the best as in some of the games.  I think the GER-POL has been the best so far.

The 1st goal in the 1986 Mexico World Cup \n\nArgentina v England\n\nMaradona scored that goal with his hand. It counted, and created outrage in England, at a politically charged time (Fawkland Island war). \n\nHowever, Maradona also proceeded to score one of the best goals ever for his 2nd goal... The English did not have the heart to talk much about that...  The game ended 2-1 for Argentina...
