Lex,
Zidane's goal is still considered by many as one of the greatest goal ever score in the competition and probably the greatest score during a final of the CL.
I actually didnt rate Suarez's goal that highly as it was only scored because the keeper was out of position. That was the beauty of Beckhams goal from the half way line, you could tell that even if the keeper was in the goal he would struggle to keep it out.
Crouch's goal was the best by far. The technique involved in it was outstanding. He knew exactly what he wanted to do(as he said in the aftermatch interview he did it all the time in training) and he executed it.
Suarez' was an excellent goal also but the keeper was off his line.
Ciise's was more of a just hit it and hope shot, in the dying seconds.
Shouldn't all shots be classed as hit and hope? You hit the ball, and hope it goes in the net?
Was Crouch aiming for that specific part of the goal down to the nearest millimetre?
They are all fantastic goals. My favourite is RvP's v Everton because i'm a biased but as for the best goal?
I don't know, stop pressuring me.
Some great goals this season....

No.
Crouch aimed for where it went. Cisse hit it towards the goal and it just so happened it creeped over Cech's head/headthing.
Crouchies by an absolute Mile.

================================
Not really, he would have just jumped about a foot off the ground, one knee up, and caught it comfortably with both hands.
Okay here's the thing with Crouch's goal... if it was more judgement than luck, surely with natural skill like that he should be a shoe-in for the Euro's?
That he isn't speaks volumes.
I think so jloo, Suarez's floated in, Beckhams zipped in.
How do you know what Cisse did or didn't mean? Any way thats not the point, that shot is unparalleled, no one has ever scored a goal like it. The same cannot be said for the others.
Lex, you are assuming that the professional players get the time to do that every game!

It has half the votes of Cisse's strike.
Maybe I'm not so alone in my thinking as you assume, VC?

What an utter tool.

Certainly!
He scores goals for England. He is a great option to have.
suarez terrific punt but is it really football,crouch looping hit and hope like cisses,
none of the goals contain significant input from several players, they are the real goals of the season

Nonsense. Both goals would have been easily saved if the keeper had been on the line, otherwise neither player would have even attempted it. Suarez has actually tried it a few times this season but the keeper hasn't been off his line enough.
That's a fair point, Edin.
But surely Crouch has had time to do that sort of thing a least a few times a season.
I know this will sound bias, (I make no apologies for it) but RVP has been scoring goals such as the one against Everton for a long while now.
Yes, any strike has an element of fortune to it... just some rely upon more fortune than others.

...........................
As I said before, you wouldn't be saying that if it were RVP.
And no one has ever seen RVP score one that good.
Maybe RVP shouldn't be a shoo in for the Euros, as that is your criteria.
..........................
That he isn't speaks volumes.

You stupidity speaks volumes.
It would have been saved TOOR, probably not easily, I was just arguing why I thought Beckhams was better and why I didnt think Suarezs was not the stand out goal.
VC reverting to type.
Typical Yank.

RVP STARTS for the Netherlands.
You feckin' idiot!
wow the op never listed valencia goal against blackburn. Now that was like a roberto carlos type strike.
However crouch and cisse goal stand out as well with valencia. I don't think ben arfa goal was that good, everything just went perfectly, it was good but not like he went past players with skill just pace and determination.
Crouch has a better goal scoring record for England than RVP does for Holland tbf.

Have a look at Beckham's goal, have a look at Suarez', then come back to me. Both goals are floated over the keepers head and in fact Suarez' is closer to the corner and top of the goal. Both would have been easily saved had the keeper been in position. You're talking out of your ass.
I think so jloo, Suarez's floated in, Beckhams zipped in.
======================================
Not really.
I think your letting nostalgia get the better off you.
Watch both goals again, and youll see both keepers in similar positions, albeit, Wimbledons keeper had more time to get back on his line, by virtue of beckhams shot being further away, and didnt really make an attempt to save it, but opted for a silly little jump towards his own goal.
Of the two, Suarez's had more zip, rather than beckham's, which was more of a floater
