Favourite Football Moments part 2

It still sends shivers down my spine watching this goal go in. What this footage doesn't show is the 20 minutes prior to this when Beckham took sole responsibility for the whole English team's dire performance. He was only English player on the pitch who seemed to realise the significance of losing the game. At the point when the footage starts England were 30 seconds away from having to play a qualifying match to get into the World Cup finals in Japan and South Korea - a match they could easily have lost! Beckham ran around a like a crazy man trying to stop this happenning and then, with seconds left on the clock, sent a beautiful curling free kick into the top corner - proof that whilst football is very much a team game - one world class player, playing with heart and passion can make a heck of a difference!

Great Goals Part 1

One of the greatest strikers the Premiership has ever seen at the peak of his powers against Charlton. Tightly marked by his defender he shows what a bit of quick thinking and imagination can achieve on a football pitch. When he received the ball in that position, no one at the ground or watching the game on TV could have predicted he would try to score with a backheel - yet it was so simple. All of you can backheel a football, so in theory you could all have scored that goal. It just goes to show if you use your imagination and try things on the pitch, magical things can happen!

It was the 2nd Round of the World Cup in Italia 1990 and England had played well but failed to score in normal time. A tight extra time period followed in which Belgium hit the post for the second time in the game. Penalties were very definitely on the cards when, in the last minute Gazza lobbed a perfectly weighted free kick into the box from around 40 yards out and David Platt slipped his marker and tucked a peach of a volley into the far corner of the net to send England through to the quarter finals. I was 9 years old at the time and I hadn't been allowed to stay up late to watch it so had got up early to watch it back on my VHS video player (remember those?). I remember rewinding it and playing it back time after time because it was just about the most amazing goal I had ever seen scored.

Ronaldo vs Messi

These two guys have been at the top of their game for the last few seasons.
Speed in abundance, an ability to change direction and beat their opponent at will, manipulate the ball how they want, a superb array of passes and to top it off they score fantastic goals, from free kicks and in open play.
Take a look at the fantastic ability these two possess and please leave your comments after, telling us who is your favourite and why.

The Best of Ronaldinho

One of the most talented and entertaining players ever to play the beautiful game, Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho was the pivotal player for Barcelona, where he won the FIFA World Player of Year and European Player of the Year in 2005.
He helped deliver the coveted Champions League Trophy to the Catalan Giants in 2006.
A star of the Braziian National Team for many years.
I am sure you will agree, a phenomenally talented footballer.

Zinedine Zidane - Best Moves and Goals

Zidane was arguably the most talented footballer of his generation. Graceful, elegant and a powerful dribbler capable of doing things with the ball most only dream of. Zidane had wonderful vision and the ability to execute that vision with sublimely weighted passes and a ghostly dribbling ability that allowed him to drift past his opponents at will. Both a scorer and architect of great goals if he was British we think he should be knighted! Despite his unsavoury exit from professional football in the 2006 World Cup Final, we feel he should always be remembered for the unique artistry and style that he brought to football lovers all over the world.
This is a collaberation of some of his best moments. Enjoy!
