Germany - Holland wc 1974.
it was a good game but not a fantastic game...i have buyd today and watched on tv today the dvd with the whole game between germany-holland. 1974......
germany was the better team in this final game..after 100 seconds cruijff was fouled on the line and got a penalty..germany was down and shocked for a while but the first 20 minutes a close game without big goalchances..team germany has played very well the next 25 minutes and had some very good goalchances ..a questionable foul against holland and breitner scored the penality goal...still today i cant say hölzenbein has diving clearly..the attack was against the player but possible is too that the defensive player hasnt touched hözenbein...the 2:1 in the first half was a a nice müller goal....the first 15 minutes in the second half ,team germany was a again the better team..beckenbauer was the best player and cruijff had maybe his worst game game in this tournament...the dutch players in this game wasnt not really technicial better and have played a long time relativ slow with many fouls...after 50 minutes team germany had 8:0 corners..holland had 4-5 goalchances between minutes 65-85 and was clerly the better team in this 20 minutes..much mistakes in the german defense and germany had wasted good conterattacks only to loose the ball stupidly.....
the dutchteam was the best team in the tournament and has played fantastic games but germany was the better team in the final game...
so many people count up allways the controversal penaltie germany got...but german player uli hoeness in the second half was clearly fouled in the penality box and got no penalty....
the biggest bull**** in this game was the linesman and the refeere have stolen away a regulare goal from gerd müller in the second half..i have watched the replay..gerd müller was 1 and a half meters away to be offside before the pass was played and him was taken away his second goal of this game..iam wondering why no german player had protestet...
it was well known that the dutch players in this tournament allways had hold up the arms to manipulate a little bit the referees decision to call offsides....this was happend in the brasil game too...
another bull**** offside call was against hoeness in the second half after a nice pass i think it was from beckenbauer .. ....

The best game was Vasco da Gama x Palmeiras for the 2000 Mercosul Cup.
Half time and Vasco losing for 3x0 with 2 players banned with red cards. Led by Juninho Paulista (ex-Atletico Madrid), Juninho Pernambucano (Lyon), Romario and Euller, Vasco scored 4 times - all goals were spectacular and beautifull - and the game ended Vasco 4 x 3 Pameiras (Vasco 9 players against 11 from Palmeiras).
I have never seen something like that, especially in high level competitons like the Mercosul Cup.

USA defeats England 1-0 in the 1950 World Cup.
Sorry, but in my book that's second only to the 1980 Miracle on Ice.

Couple people mentioned this and I agree.
Leverpool (5) Alaves(4) AET
UEFA Cup Final
You have to realize Alaves was in the Spanish 3rd Division just a few years earlier. They had no stars, a team from nowhere that may never even return to La Liga, but this was their golden game.
Liverpool was loaded with great talent. Everytime Liverpool jumped out to a lead (even by two goals) Alaves would come back. This was the Ultimate David and Galaiath club game.

The one goal where it was a through pass and and the Romanian striker just touched it in near post is one of my favorite goals ever. I think it was at the end of the first half. I have it on tape.
Great game.
Celtic 6 Rangers 2
2000-2001
This for me and I think a few other celtic fans would be the greatest game. The season before, Rangers had won the league by a margin of 21 points and to put it bluntly Celtic where absolute ****e. Things as they say change and they sure as hell did. If memory serves me, both teams went into the game unbeaten and Rangers were favourites to win, Celtic where 3 up inside 12 minutes and tearing Rangers apart with every move. It was both breathtaking and relieving at the same time. I had gotten used to watching Rangers defend and score 1 to beat us for most of the previous decade but this game changed all of that.The game followed much the same pattern through the second half and gave us (Celtic) the confidence to go on and win all 3 domestic trophies.

I see a lot of people confuse their finest memory/ biggest succes with best match and that is certainly not the same.
The very first match I ever saw was Benfica-Real Madrid 5-3 European Cup final in Amsterdam, 1965 (yes, I am that old
).
That was a great match where Real was 3-1 ahead but lost in the end.
Another great match was Brazil-Italy 1970 with a superior brazilian site, Pele being the big star.
I would certainly do not name the France-Germany match in 1982.
In my opinion that match was heavily influenced by the worst foul in footbal history by Schumacher against Battiston. That was no foul anymore, that was a brutal onslaught. After that the French never came back in the match. I wonder how somebody can name this the best match. If the keeper of my country did that, I would have felt so ashamed that I never dared to remember it....
Also the Holland-Germany match of 1974 is certainly not the best. At best it is a good memory for Germans, but not good at all.
