great technique but not the best goal ever.Originally posted by Boogar View PostLiverpool born and bred.

No. The best goal ever is a move of at least 10 passes starting with the goalkeeper, all one- or two-touch and involving at least 8 players in the team resulting in the ball being tapped in within the six-yard box.
The Argentina goal against Serbia and Montenegro (I think) is one example; Carlos Alberto's against Italy in 1970 is another.
Pass and move > speculative long-range efforts reliant on the dodgy balls manufacturers provide these days..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.

he says in the interview that it was meant as a cross. maradona's goal against england is the best goal ever, sheer class.“At a football club, there’s a holy trinity - the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don’t come into it. They are only there to sign the cheques”. Bill Shankly

Team goals are nowhere near the individual magic of Maradona or Messi, IMO. The 'formula' you put forward could be seen as functional play, a little boring in my eyes. Yes, a good goal, but nothing that will set the heart racing, blood flowing, adrenaline pumping as someone beating player after player and scoring a fantastic goal.Originally posted by Neil Young View PostNo. The best goal ever is a move of at least 10 passes starting with the goalkeeper, all one- or two-touch and involving at least 8 players in the team resulting in the ball being tapped in within the six-yard box.

In my cynical eye, the goal against the Serbs was against a beaten team, already out of the WC (iirc?). And the Carlos Alberto goal was the 4th goal, by an acclimatised South American side against a European team that had already played an exhausting 120 mins against the Germans in the Semis. Both great goals but context takes some of the shine off them.
On a related note, I never understood how Bergkamp got the greatest goal of WC 98. His goal was against a tiring 10 man defence in the final minutes of the game (which showed in their inability to defend that long ball). Owen's against the Argies was individual brilliance in the 1st quarter of the match after getting the ball 50 yards from goal.
Same with those retards who rate Giggs v Arse 99 as better than Maradona. Giggs was a fresh substitute against an ageing Arse defence in extra time ffs. Maradona's needs no explanation.
Rant over...
