The Greatest World Cup Moments

[Woody SUFC]

Seeing as C4 are doing another top 100 moments show how about we name some of our thoughts!

 

1966 England winning

1966 North Koera!!

THAT save from Pele

Beckham being sent off

Gazza crying

Owens wondergoal

Getting up at 7am to watch footie!

but the greatest...

 

Valdaramas hair!!

[chels - WEFC]

definately 1966 and gordon banks' save in the 1970 world cup

Mine would be:

Peter Shilton outjumping Maradona then kicking the fat cocaine-soaked cheat into Row F, while the lineman and ref inexplicably missed the whole incident!

Oh, no wait... did I only dream that?

And more seriously,

Brazil - Italy in the 1970 final.

[Mark (Flag) Braintree]

After the hand of god, the best goal of The World Cup ever. Maradona takes it past about 4 England defenders before putting the ball in the back of the net. Forget your English, it has to be the best goal ever. Unfortunately against us.

 

If it had been scored by Owen, Linekar or Shearer you would all agree.

Good to hear from you Mark, hope all is well. Well I'd have to plump for a quite obscure goal from 1966, the best football move as against individual goal, I have ever seen. Hungary 3 Brazil 1, Hungary's 2nd. Albert to Bene, up the right, near post cross, stunning volley from Farkas. Still love it.

Any thirteen-year-old high on coke could have done that. Though, not every time. Perhaps that's why it only happened once.

OOps, someone just suggested to me that you might have been serious about that.

a) Booby Moore to Geoff Hurst, dying moments of 1966 final.

Jairzinho to Gerson*, to Pele, to Carlos Alberto, 1970 final.

*Later Gerson tested high on caffeine**, apparently.

**They got an AWFUL lot of coffee in Brazil!

How could i forget...

 

France 0 - Senagal 1!

 

C'mon Eng-A-land!

Josimar's 35 yard strike in the '82? finals, bent it both ways from the right hand side of the pitch and nestled it into the top left hand corner.

 

And of course Geoff Hurst, still the only man capable of scoring a hat-trick in the final!!!

 

David Platt against Belgium, 120th minute, gazza plays a weighted ball over the defence, Platt lets it come over his shoulder, spins catching the ball on the volley and finishes with real class before running off and starting a massive 'BUNDLE!!'. A side note is that Lineker then produced the biggest smile ever seen in the world cup. <img src="/images/graemlins/affig.gif" alt="" />

vasily rats beating joel bats with a 35 yard piledriver.
