Had to look it up.Marco van Basten against Soviet Union in Euro 88.
The ball going on off the bar adds to the goalIf we are talking about spectacular goals, there were a few by Tony Yeboah that stand out.
My personal favourite is the second one shown in this video.
He takes the ball down on his chest, then his thigh, swerves past a defender and then volleys the ball with a tremendous shot that goes in off the bar.
It's the most spectacular goal I've ever seen.
Yes love this one because of the context. Also the Van Persia header v Spain is pretty spectacular in terms of the placement and distance.Bergkamp vs Argentina, 98 world cup.
Another one Lloris should probably savedI’ve got Portuguese blood so probably this
Yes, that JJ goal did cause some animation with me too! That day I was with a couple of WBA supporting mates, before and after the game. I didn't milk it too much (not at all in fact) But I remember them being very warm in praise not just of the goal but City deserving all three points.Van Persie volley vs charlton
Favourite Cov goal was Johnny Jackson last minute goal at Highfield road vs the Albion , went absolute bat shit crazy when that looped in!
Was really surprised Hoddle never tried to build an England team around him they had very similar attributesIn my opinion, one of the greatest goal scorers of all time. Matt Le Tissier. Nicknamed "Le God", and you can see why watching this 5 minute super-goal fest. (look out for his scorcher against CCFC at 3:40. Oct '96) Enjoy!
Was it Hoddle who gave him a handful of caps? He turned out to be one of many before him (and since) who just couldn't replicate club form for country.Was really surprised Hoddle never tried to build an England team around him they had very similar attributes
He last played in a 1-0 home defeat to Italy in 1998 WC qualifiers where Hoddle tried to play Le Tissier & McManaman behind Shearer and it didn't work and Le Tissier was made the scapegoat and never played again. He played in the B team prior to the 1998 finals and scored a hat-trick and was still not picked for the finals.Was it Hoddle who gave him a handful of caps?

I remember another free scoring striker who wasn't selected for that France '98 squad.He last played in a 1-0 home defeat to Italy in 1998 WC qualifiers where Hoddle tried to play Le Tissier & McManaman behind Shearer and it didn't work and Le Tissier was made the scapegoat and never played again.

And he could of been used at centre halfI remember another free scoring striker who wasn't selected for that France '98 squad.

Absolutely incredible goal.... this along with the Sinclair FA Cup goal for me.
