    Rats for me, just an incredible hit

    Josimar - further out, more of an angle, looks up and picks his spot. Cleaner build up too
    Funny, that's what I like about the Rats goal. Bit scrappy, the ball given away cheaply a couple of times, and then Rats gets it and his strike is so perfect it just shouts out "**** that". It stands out more because of the earlier scrappiness for me

    "Rats beats bats"....but he doesnt beat josimar here..

    Josimar...poor aul pat jennings...his last game

    I'm exiting this thread like Maradona exited to Bergkamp. If that was 'sloppy defending' by England then what do you call the defending by Ayala? Ridiculous voting by you numpties.:P

    Thanks Omackeral.

    Whos' ready for some Knockout stage action?!


  • Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Benjamin Pavard (France vs Argentina, 2018)



    VS

    Fabio Grosso (Italy vs Germany, 2006)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,293 ✭✭✭Reberetta


    Fabio Grosso

    Pavard will win, but my vote goes to the perfect, unstoppable left-footed curler that crushed German hearts and lifted the weight of a looming, foreboding penalty shoot-out from the shoulders of millions of Italians. An intense game ending with the greatest ever charge of Gross misconduct!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,453 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    That pass from Pirlo...

    And the iconic commentary - "Gol di Grosso! Gol di Grosso! Gol di Grosso!"

    And yet I still think I prefer Pavard's. Technically such a sweet strike. The replay from behind is a super angle to see it from.

    So Pavard for me

    Difficult call. Had to get a better angle for that grosso goal and it does look sweet. But pavard just edges it for me, the way he slices it with outside of the foot, spectacular.

    Voting Pavard


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 57,158 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Grosso for me, I think the significance shades it for me. Very close contest though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,625 ✭✭✭lassykk


    Pavard for me. An amazing technique. Love the other goal too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,316 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    Grosso. The pass from Pirlo, the first time curling strike, the sudden evaporation of tension and the eruption of joy.

    Pavard.

    We'll see a million and one of Grosso's goals this season.

    Pavard 3-2 Grosso


  • Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    At the time expiration, it was Pavard leading 3-2. Let's see if we can get a higher voter turnout here next.

    Dario Rodriguez (Uruguay vs Denmark, 2002)



    VS

    Robin Van Persie (Netherlands vs Spain, 2014)



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 57,158 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Van Persie all day, I think for sheer audacity it might be one of my favourite goals ever


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,316 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    Dario Rodriguez - the ball never touches the ground from the corner.

    Rodriguez all day long.

    Two unique goals though; a shame they have to meet this early. But love the heads and volleys

    I 100% know I'm not winning this but to me the Uruguay goal is a better goal the skill of the assister to juggle the ball and lay it off without it dropping for Silva to strike on the volley is just a thing of beauty.

    I like the Van Persie goal obviously but just prefer the Silva one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,714 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    Van Persie. - pure class, up there with the greatest goals ever

    Van Persie, a very unique and very impressive goal.

    Dario Rodriguez

    Garcia makes this goal special with the delicate touch and assist from his left foot.

    Despite getting the player wrong, it's a great reason :P
