Boardsies Decide : Greatest FIFA World Cup Goal

Gemill for me too

Loved the Cameroon story in Italia 90 and they were robbed against England but Gemill's goal is way better

Really enjoy watching these goals again, even if I've seen them all before. The greatest goals get better the harder you look at them.

Sublime vs Ridiculous coming up...

Tim Cahill all day! Baggio goal suffers from poor defending, Cahill's goal has ridiculous technique, off the bar only adds to the aesthetic

Arghus

Baggio's goal would win a few one on ones and usually I think single hit goals aren't as impressive as intricate goals, but I have to go with Cahill here.

There's such purity in his connection with the ball, power in the shot itself and precision in how it crashes in off the bar.

A player connecting with meaty volley onto a dropping ball is one of the most fundamentally satisfying sights in football, and they don't get much sweeter than Cahill's goal there.

Cahill all day for me

Tim Cahill. Incredible volley that should go a long way in this.

Reberetta

Roberto Baggio

Tippy-tappy one-two, forceful run like a tip-toeing rhino on the rampage, balletic dummy that sends the defender into orbit, smashing the onion net with the composure of a great Italian chef; more poetic than an operatic opus from Pavarotti! The divine ponytail left a trail of divs and donkeys in his wake.

Baggio, as its a great goal and not getting near enough love on this thread

Baggio and his tippy toeing.

MrKingsley

Great match up this.

Cahill for me though. Full volleys are great and crossbars are even better. Such a sweet strike and a big goal for Australia.

Shame because I love baggios as well but Cahills is another level

Baggio 3 - 7 Cahill

A great battle in the middle of that bout with a resurgence from the Italian but that thunderbastard from Cahill had too much in the end. Coming up is a battle of the South American powerhouses with two completly different types of goals. Interested to get your thoughts on this next match-up...

Ronaldinho (Brazil vs England, 2002)

Estaban Cambiasso (Argentina vs Serbia, 2006)

Cambiasso. I still think Seaman's dodgy positioning is a large factor in that goal by Ronaldinho and I'll not hear anything to dissuade me :P

MrKingsley

Cambiasso hands down for me. Unbelievable move with almost everyone involved.

Never really rated Ronaldinhos all that highly. I’d have it as bad goal keeping more so than anything exceptional from him

Cosmo Kramer

Cambiasso. Crap keeping from Seaman caused the other one, so not a classic for me.

Arghus

I'm going to go with Ronaldinho here. Seaman's positioning was off, but he couldn't have expected Ronaldinho to even think about going for it from there, let alone doing it. And I think Ronaldinho totally meant it - look at how he looks up and how he shapes to strike the ball.

That Cambiasso goal is a brilliant team goal, but it's also wildly overrated. 26 passes, but about 20 are just recycling possession. The final few passes are very nifty, but it's still overrated in my book.

Electric Nitwit

Ronaldinho for the sheer audacity of trying it.
Seeing the keeper off his line, and then executing that kick, over that distance, with that accuracy

For the other one, quantity of passes does not make quality. Most of the passes in the build up are just knocking it round the halfway line unchallenged, I could do that

ArnoldJRimmer

That Argentina goal never did it for me, so Ronaldhino.
