Well that too. I have loads of tournies in the bank already so consider those two in the running. And maybe best goal ever in general while we’re at it

Skylinehead · 15-09-2020 10:29pm

Balls, forgot the final was on.

Regardless, I wasn't needed, and the best goal won out.

From the best player to ever exist too, in my eyes :pac:

There's a competition that could be run, now?

Not that I'd contribute. I know nothing

Maradona v England is the real winner and you all know it. Worst World Cup in history.

Yes. I only saw this thread when it was maradona vs bergkamp in whatever round, and could not believe the result during following few mins. It was almost as if it was an anti vote, or else people just being argumentative for the sake of it. Or else them people are just thickos.
Maradona goal is regarded as the greatest goal of all time. There have been many more great goals since it as opposed to before, but none have reached such iconic level. Even Messi best goals have not topped it, and he has been a much better player than maradona.
The same people who voted for bergkamp goal over maradona will probably say Ronaldo is better than Messi.

It lost, get over it :P

Great thread to follow and still think carlos alberto the top goal.. And what about the King pele did he not score a similar goal to Bergkamp back in 1958 in a world Cup final

Best goal ever sounds great, but the business of selecting what makes the cut could be a chronic pain the arse.

Champions league is a bit more defined, but I'd be happy either way.

You could give the champions league all time best goals a go if it hasn't been already done.

Zidane in the final at Hampden springs to mind immediately.

A great winner.
Thank you very much for organising this omackeral!! I wasn't able to participate as much as I would have liked, nevertheless a great idea and competition!!

Thanks for running this. I really enjoyed it and would love a UCL one.

On the Maradona goal, I definitely suffered from recency bias having not being old enough to watch 86 live.

I appreciate how brilliant a goal Maradona's was watching it back but the memories of these goals live and the jaw dropping when it happened and the emotions I felt as a child/teenager for Bergkamp's goal or Robbie Keane's goal outweigh the rational part of my brain which does acknowledge that objectively they aren't the greatest.

But sure that's the great thing about democracy that we all get a vote.

And FWIW, I was a die hard United fan in my youth and would have despised every player on that Arsenal team when they were beating United.

wanderer 22 · 17-09-2020 5:28pm

Best Premier league goal could be an idea too - or just best Tony Yeboah goal, either works.

Hello 2D Person Below · 17-09-2020 5:32pm

Shocking final.

Arghus · 21-09-2020 3:37am

This tournament needed more Brazil '82

Oh, how about best Goal celebrations as a contest? The Cantona slow turn, arms outstretched. The Julius Aghahowa somersaults. The Henrik Larsson tongue. The Klinsmann. The Pippo Inzaghi just running around going fucking mental.

Omackeral · 21-09-2020 5:50am

Ravanelli with the jersey over his head. Gazza in the dentist chair. Houghton’s awful forward roll. Not a bad shout for a mini tournament

Kolido · 21-09-2020 7:00am

Marco Tardelli

Necro · 21-09-2020 7:15am

Totti and his cameraman antics, Robbie Keane's somersaults, Aubayemang's standing front flip all worthy of a mention too

Temuri Ketsbia kicking a hole in the advertising boards will walk that easily

One suggestion btw - for the early kick-offs which caught some people out, maybe add in a minimum of 5 votes required to win?

Would mean no 2-0s for example, so the vote will be more valid - and in theory it shouldn't be too much more work. (Just means checking in, seeing nothing, and checking out again)

I ran a similar tournament on Ireland's best goal btw; could run it here at some stage if there was interest. The goals aren't as good (fewer to pick from for starters), but some good memories in there.

I thought you might be over there to vote for it, but it was in one of your hiatus periods

Got knocked out in the second round :eek:

Arghus · 25-11-2020 8:58pm

Considering the day that's in it -

Let me reiterate, again, that Maradona's second against England in '86 was absolutely robbed in this tournament.
