50 Greatest World Cup Goals

[edsonarantes]

Maradona's second goal against England in the 1986 World Cup was without a doubt the greatest goal in World Cup history. Receiving the ball on his own field near midfield, Maradona marched towards the English goal leaving in his wake English player after English player after English player (five in total) completely destroying them to finish by sweetly dribbling past the oh-so-great English goalkeeper Shilton and softly depositing the ball in the back of the net! Absolute genius!

Carlos Alberto's goal was a masterpiece of individual and team skill. But it was already 3-1 for Brazil with just a few minutes left. The Italians were thoroughly beaten, plus they must have been physically and emotionally exhausted from the epic heavyweight overtime slugfest they had just had in the semis against West Germany. Just look at how Pele had tons of space to receive the ball and make his pass. Bergkamp, on the other hand, scored his goal in the last minute of what was at that point an unbelievably tense 1-1 draw against a great Argentina team that had the upper hand. To this day I can't imagine playing 90 minutes against Argentina and still producing that first touch. So I would rank them - Maradona, Bergkamp, Alberto.

Diego Forlan's goal against the Netherlands in 2010 should be on this list.

Despite Maradona scoring the Hand of God, as an Englishman, There's no Argument that his second goal is the greatest goal EVER!

Guys I just realized something very important watching this video. I am an Argentinian supporter and 98 WC was the first one I watched. Though I didn't understand football that much back then but have to say that Owen's goal was just frighteningly good. I think if he wasn't that injury prone he would be considered greatest English footballer of all time ❤❤

Cannot believe M Laudrup's goal against Uruguay in 86 is missing.

[agolzad]

Belanov scored an incredible goal for the Soviet Union against Belgium in 1986. That goal should have been included.

James Rodriguez' goal in Brazil was worthy of a spot here, I reckon.

“Maradona, turns like a little eel. He comes away from trouble, little squat man, comes inside Butcher and leaves him for dead, outside Fenwick and leaves him for dead, and puts the ball away. And that is why Maradona is the greatest player in the world.” - Bryon Butler

Maradona' s goal is the best in football history

[mindblowingdiscussions]

I think Maradona's goal is no.1, though the Carlos Alberto goal was awesome. A. Robben's goal against defending champion Spain in 2014, Ronaldinho's FK vs England, Di Maria's goal in E.T. vs Switzerland, Messi's goal at injury time vs Iran & beautiful control & finish vs Nigeria in 2018, David Luiz's FK in quarter final of 2014, J. Rodriguez's volly in 2014, Van Persi's flying header vs Spain could be on the list

[zigababnik]

No Ronaldinho free kick from 2002? Probably hurt too much.

[anthonybezzina]

What about Fabio Grosso's goal vs Germany in 2006. The opponent, the stadium, the timing, Pirlo' s pass....

[jiayi]

Ronaldinho's free kick against England, 2002, should be counted.

[jeremyhards]

Van Persie and his flying fish header is definitely top 3

Maradona second goal against England in 1986 was voted the goal of the century. That goal is my all time fav. simply the best

[nichhodge]

41:36 I thought Maradona’s goal would be number one but earlier watching a video about Maradona I noticed something about that goal I never noticed in 38yrs is the bit of skill when he first gets the ball he just spins taking the ball with him beats two players and the starts his run simply magical
