I'm not declaring this the best, but this thread may turn be about reminiscing about all the good ones from the past. So Giovanni Van Bronckhorst's long range missile from the semi against Uruguay 4 years ago.
And by extension, most of Forlan's goals 4 years ago as well

Best one I've seen at this World Cup so far.
Van Bronckhorst against Uruguay in South Africa.

Also hard to go past this goal from Shane Smeltz against Italy at the last World Cup.
These guys had chulls watching that goal.

No love for Timmy Cahill? Seriously, his goal has to be up there.

Join the queue, helluva talent and he's still only 22.
I can imagine every big money club will be chasing him after this World Cup, hopefully Abramovich gets out the chequebook to bring him to Chelsea but apparently he doesn't want to play in the EPL as it's too physical. Man U were chasing him last year but he went to AS Monaco instead.

Great goal but I got sick of the media here banging on about it.

that was an absolute corker! the build up play was great topped off by a perfectly executed finish which was extremely difficult.

You almost forget how good Owen was back then, a pity his career was cut down by injuries.
The thing about this goal, is that I don't know what prompted him to take the shot. It's not like was massive opening at goal. He must've seen something others can't , or at least I can't.

The chest down and the sweetest hit. Does not get any better. Technically perfect (which is weird saying about Joe Cole).

Man, England weren't too bad back in the day. Now, they are just plain rubbish.

hahaha group of death made them look worse than what they were. Games against Italy and Uruguay could have been any different result. Agreed though, many times they lost was on penalties and wrong decisions. They were like Italy and extremely hard to beat in 90/120 minutes and it took a monumental effort to get past them. Euro 2004 was a tournament they probably should have won perhaps if not for a questionable call vs Portugal in the qtr finals during extra time.

Perfection.

My choice too - the minute of beautiful round the field passing that led up to it, plus the sublime header, puts it at the top for me.

Ooops, it was already posted in the OP. No harm in posting again.

Yes i agree, it's an unreal header. For some reason i had completely forgotten it was Borghetti. For as long as i can remember i've always thought it was Marquez. Weird.
Yes, what a goal, one of my favourites as well.
The commentator surely jizzed in his pants when Bergkamp score.
