stewarty 2,027 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 What does everyone think? I cant decide between 2 Argentina goals. Firstly Cambiasso's goal vs Serbia and Montenegro. Brilliant possesion, one touch, give and go football with about 40 consecutive passes. Eventually they exploited some space, moved the ball into the box and an excellent finish into the top corner by Cambiasso arriving late. A goal for the purists. Secondly there's Maxi Rodriguez's volley vs Mexico. Given the context of the match i.e 2nd half of extra time heading for penalties, and the sheer audacity and quality of his chest and volley from the corner of the box was simply outstanding. Often players get too caught up with making sure they dont make a mistake that they forget to that a goal in extra time might win the game without the lottery of penalties. There were lots of other good finishes and some spectacular strikes from outside the box but those two, for me, stood out... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 850 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Those 2 are definatly the best 2 for me Stewarty. Id go for Cambiasso's as the winner, it was long build up play and team work at its best. They also got a further 3 crackers in that game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 2,027 Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Just watched them both again. Still cant make up my mind which one to go for. I'm swaying more towards Rodriguez purely because of the game situation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 You're forgetting about Joe Cole's goal against Sweden. Personally I'd go for Cambiasso's goal against the sexual perverts S&M! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said earlier, there were some excellent goals from a number of players and Joe Cole's goal was good but not in the same league as the 2 Argy goals. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 850 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Its difficult to argue which one was the best out of the 2 Argy goals because they were so different. 1 was a piece of individual brilliance that was pure instinct and the other was just total football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 It's so difficult to choose that it's actually impossible, and I say both goals are joint top. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you say that Joe Cole's goal wasn't in the same class as the Rodriguez one? He was about 30 yards out and stuck it in the only place the keeper couldn't get to. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 2,027 Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 As I've said previously, you need to take into account the context of the game. Also Rodriguez's effort was more difficult to take given the angle he scored from. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
