Best football (soccer) goal ever?

[Denilson]

To me, this is the best goal ever made.
Sure, there's been tons of amazing goals scored..
Bicycle kicks, solo runs, possesion goals..

Solo goals like Maradona, Ronaldo, Messi and Zlatan have scored are pretty much equal in terms of greatness.. But there has been many such goals scored..
The next amazing solo goal will most likely be made in less than a year..

Same goes for bicycle kicks.. But no bicycle kick that I know of have been scored from 30 yards, running away from the goal, hit it 10 feet up in the air from a bad angle..
Don't think we'll see anything like it again.

This goal was scored the Sweden vs England game on Nov 14th 2012.

Behold..



And as a note: That was his 4th goal in this game.
Sweden won the game by 4-2, and Zlatan scored 3 spectacular goals in a row in the end of the 2nd half with this goal as the Grand Finale, making it a true hattrick (3 goals in a row, in the same 45 min, and with no other goals in between (for the own team or the opponents).


Please post your favourite football (soccer) goal and state why it's so special. 👍

Zlatan's amazing in this moment... I don't know much about football (US; soccer), but this is my favorite goal, as well.

 

[Liquid]

Nope.

If this was Messi, we would all be creaming ourselves and calling it the best thing evar!!!



This is such an underrated goal. The skill and finesse involved is unbelievable.

Compare the above with your contribution.

Nope.

This is such an underrated goal. The skill and finesse involved is inbröieveable.

Yes, I agree that there's a "hype" when certain players score. But you will not be able to find any goal like Zlatans anywhere. The closest one is Bressans bicykle kick for Fiorentina iirc.
But not even that one can compare.

The DiCanio volley is nothing but base technique, in contradiction to what Zlatan did.
I can find 100's of goals like DiCanios on youtube.

Not trying to argue. I just love talking about football. 👍

Don't forget Rooney's as well:



But I do agree, Zlattan's goal was certainly the best goal I have seen, ever. Like you said Messi's, Ronaldo's, Neymar's goals are incredible, taking the ball past 5 or 6 players and slotting it past the keeper. But Zlattan's surpasses them by a long way, as a single moment of genuine incredibleness.
I can't stop watching it

 

[Denilson]

Yep, Rooneys goal is fantastic!! 👍

Then there's this one from the Sweedish 2nd Division:



And then there's Bressans goal for Fiorentina vs Barcelona:


There's so many amazing goals to look at!

Trevor Sinclair >>>>>>>> Wayne Rooney

From the outside of the area, with a man on his back, ball going slightly away from him, and maximum revolution in a central movement. No deviation at all to the side. The definition of an overhead kick. Superb strike, utterly outstanding.

[Lucas]

This was scored in Argentina's Second Division, when River Plate was relegated.



This is, personally, my favorite goal, mostly because of the emotions I had at the moment.

EDIT: Also, seen few headers like this one.

 

[Dennisch]

European Championship finals 1988.

 

[C-ZETA]

OP probably would say such a thing, as a Swede. As would the above, being Dutch. That said, Ibra had scored some stupendous ones long before this came to light.

Instead...



Surely shouldn't be much else to top this.

So I posted this goal as the best ever cause I'm a Swede?
Try finding a bicycleta with that kind of distance/angle/agility/power.
Won't happen.
It's defenetly not your random bicycleta from inside/just outside the box from a good angle.
The beauty with Zlatans goal is that everything you want to be there for a successful bicycleta just is'nt there. Yet, he make it happen from that angle/distance.
Simply amazing.

Bicycletas/volleys/solo runs similar to Rooneys/Van Bastens/Maradona can be found in numbers on YT. Bicycletas like Zlatans and shots like Carlos are not.

Before Wednesdays game, I was actually holding Carlos goal as the greatest.
But not any more.

 

[I Am Yellow]

Maybe not the best goals, but those were amazing.
