Manuel Negrete vs Bulgaria, 1986

[El Rojo]

I'm cheating and going with a moment rather than a goal.

 

 

[El Rojo]

Justified fury and then a brilliant headed goal by Aldo.

 

[Tony Moanero]

Belter.

 

[BCM]

Forgot all about Negrete v Bulgaria

 

 

Just seen Red House's post

Socrates' goal after a brilliant assist from ZIco for Brazil against Italy (1982)

Eder's sublime volley with the outside of his foot for Brazil against USSR (1982)

Rivelino's free kick through the wall for Brazil against East Germany (1974)

Cambiasso's finish after a 20-pass move for Argentina against Serbia & Montenegro (2006)

Belanov's run and powerful shot in off the bar for USSR against Belgium (1986)

Cubillas' free kick for Peru against Scotland (1978)

If we are going for unforgettable moments too, this one has got to be my favourite.

Two of the funniest World Cup moments ever. That Cameroon side was both skillful and ridiculously brutal, and Aldo and Big Jack going apeshit on the fourth official is glorious stuff.

[El Rojo]

Not ashamed to admit that I probably prioritised Count Duckula over several matches in 1986. 

[BCM]

Arie Haan v Italy

 

[El Rojo]

[Tony Moanero]

Not ashamed to mention that I will probably prioritise my Bananaman and Mysterious Cities Of Gold boxsets over every match this World Cup.

That was fantastic.

Archie Gemmill v Holland, 1978

 

I'm sure the King backheeled it back into his path halfway through that move.
