JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Title says it all. I will kick things off with what is probably my favorite 30 seconds of football outside of watching Derby in recent memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Was that the match where the ref had an absolute stinker and Drogba had a meltdown in front of the TV cameras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealhantsram Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Easy one this. 2001. 3 mins into injury time. England going out of the World Cup. And up steps David Beckham. No a single drop of beer in anyone's pint glass after that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought hating Chelsea is the default position for every football fan, bar some Chelsea fans I suppose. Petrodollar club, enjoying success from vast sums of money that should belong to the average Russian. What's to like? Still with Jose not around anymore, they are less offensive now than they used to be, and they do have some quality players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, the second is, probably, the best goal of all time, especially given it was a World Cup quarter final and the immense pressure he was under from the Argentinian fans. Best seen with the Victor Hugo Morales commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maradona's goal was quality, but the defending was absoloutely non-existent. He was left acres of space to run into with not a single England defender within 2 meters of him. Messi, with such defending, would score at least five goals a game. His goal vs Real Madrid, against better opposition and miles better defending in a higher-quality match was undoubtedly much better. Then you get his goal against Athletic Bilbao. Unbelievable.

Remember people all had to move a little slower in that stifling temperature of a Mexican summer, and that the pitch wasn't nearly as good as the billiard table like surfaces that Messi plays on. The enormity of the occasion also should be considered. Not that i was ever argue against Messi, he has numerous contenders in any' best goal ever' debate. That goal against Getafe when he was a teenager was unbelievable. But taking into account the status of the games, the two you mentioned are certainly right up there near the very top, if not on top. In such a subjective discussion, that is more about aesthetics than any sort of quantitative measurement, I'm not sure phrases like 'undoubtedly much better' are suitable..
