Will Any Goals this Year be Among the World Cup’s Greatest?
Anybody else ready for some football? I’m been eating, dreaming and thinking about the World Cup for a long time now and I can’t wait for the games to begin on Friday. One thing I have been doing to pass the time and to further my excitement is watching highlights and games from previous World Cup competitions. The video below is a fairly nice compilation of some of the best goals in World Cup history. I’m not sure which player on which team is going to do it, but my guess is we are going to see at least one goal from the 2006 tournament make it on the all-time top 10 list.

By ruud knee-still-sore | June 7th, 2006 at 1:46 pm Nice clip, but I am missing:
* Ronaldinho’s 2002 lob vs. England (poor Seaman…)
* Bergkamp’s 1998 gem v. Argentina

By ruud knee-still-sore | June 7th, 2006 at 1:52 pm Yes Bergkamp’s priceless gem against argentina in ‘98 is a no brainer in a top 10 greatest world cup goals.
Also Ronaldinho’s 2002 goal against England’s poor old David Seaman is surely worthy of a top 10 spot

By Stuart | June 7th, 2006 at 4:51 pm I have to agree that Bergkamp’s ‘98 Cup semi-final goal is required viewing. A siblime display…in just three touches he brilliantly covered the three key aspects of football; trapping, dribbling, and shooting. For me, it’s the greatest goal in Cup history. The pure elagance of it never ceases to amaze me, no matter how many times I watch it.
By Peter | June 7th, 2006 at 5:14 pm Neeskens, Cruyff and Haan have all scored goals that merit consideration. Some anti-Oranje bias here?

By Homie | June 7th, 2006 at 5:20 pm Where’s Bergkamp’s ‘98 goal? In my opinion, greatest goal in WC history. Beautifully played and timed as well - a game winner in the 89th minute!

By Mahdi | June 7th, 2006 at 7:59 pm Carlos Alberto’s goal is overrated in my opinion. They spent more time showing the build up to the goal rather than putting the emphasis on the goal it self.
By Josh | June 7th, 2006 at 8:05 pm I agree that the Carlos Alberto goal is not quite top-10 worthy, certainly over Bergkamp’s.
However, it is emblematic of what made that Brazil ‘70 team so special. Great team play, anyone can come up in the attack, and at the center of it all Pele’s vision and skill. It is a top-five sequence, but maybe not a top ten goal.

No.
The Belgian defense isn’t around to help anyone score special goals.
