i'd go with the van basten's volley. Thats some real talent right there.

Hmm after some thought i'ld go for Bergkamp's goal vs Argentina (2-1), World Cup quarter-final, 1998. The long pas from left back De Boer and Bergkamp making an almost impossible control, "dribbling" the defender and scoring in the left upper corner.

I'm sure there are alot of other goals that are even more beautiful but this one really does it for me. I saw that game live and I just went totally crazy after that goal.

And man ... what a goal

I don't believe in the best goals ever. They get to a certain level when it becomes impossible to differentiate between the quality.

If you want a run down of the greatest goals in the world cup go to www.fifaworldcup.com and goal of the century. Every single one there is an amazing effort.

The most memorable goals for me seem to be the ones with controversry, crucial timing and political atmosphere. Mahdavikia vs USA for the politics, Maradona vs England for controversy, Beckham vs Greece for timing etc... None of them are particularly spectacular. Indeed, Maradona's was a handball but for the sheer impression they have left on footballing history with me they must rank up there for me.

beezer!

Beckham's half way shot
Rubber-toe Carlos freak-kick
Rui Costa scored a beauty for milan this year: the perfect strike...up there with his goal against england in euro 2004
Poborsky's chip in euro 96...every wee wido was trying that one
Seedorf's goal where he leathers it from just inside the half way line.

I can't believe no one has said Maradona's goal against England in world cup 86. His solo run from midfield into the heart of the english defence and cheeky flick to beat the keeper was absolutely magnificent.
