Favourite Football Goals of All Time

[Ciceronian]

Please post your favourite ever football goals here (just link to the youtube videos). I have watched a lot of youtube football videos, but I've never seen anything like this goal by Clarence Seedorf before. Most shots from that distance are lobs over the keeper and dip before they hit the net; but not this one, it just keeps on rising until it hits the top of the net. It almost seems physically impossible to generate so much power in a shot that it rises just above the horizontal for so long a distance (over 40m).

Go ahead and post your favourite videos. But remember, no more than two non-video posts in succession please.

For me the current goal of the year in Germany, Diego's 62 meter goal against Aachen. I stood behind the goal, it was amazing to see it coming in:

When I mentioned Seedorf's goal to a friend of mine in the bar, he immediately told me about this goal by Diego. Very accurate lob, but since the keeper wasn't in it wasn't THAT hard.

Bergkamp '98 Netherlands - Argentina

Nice one, demonstartes great control of the ball and a precise finish, but I think this one is a bit overhyped.

Impressive dribbling, and surprising that no defender charges in from behind and mows him down, but Okocha's teammate should really have scored with the first touch after that through ball.

True, it's not as beautiful as some of the other goals by itself. But when looking at the context, World Cup, '89, against Argentina, it gets more impressive.

This one is nice too: Van Hooijkdonk Feyenoord - Freiburg Uefa Cup 2002 (which Feyenoord won)

Amazing Henry goal

(although I'm sure he's scored better ones)

 

[dutchfire]

More Bergkamp I especially like the one that starts around 3:45

The Henry goal is nice too.

You have to have this goal when talking about great goals. David Beckham from inside his own half.
