50 greatest goals against England

[crc]

I'm currently watching the 50 greatest goals scored by England (on Sky 1), and I feel like an unwanted guest. With that in mind, let's come up with the 50 greatest goals scored against England. I'll start off with five (in no particular order, so far):

1. Diego Maradona, Argentina ('Hand of God', Mexico '86)
2. Diego Maradona, Argentina (the other one weaving his way from the half way line, Mexico '86)
3. Niall Quinn, Rep. Ireland (Equaliser at Wembly, Euro '92 qualifiers)
4. Ray Houghtan, Rep Ireland (Stuttgart '88)
5. Davide Gualtieri, San Marino (Scored after 7 seconds, WC' 94 qualifier)
6. ...

[Green Tribe]

Both of Zidane's goals in ball-breaking injury time in euro 2004, the fact that the poor soul boked before he took the penalty..... :eek: :p :p :D

How about the 50 best police forces that have given their scum fans a good battering??? :D :D

[lopez]

How about the 50 best police forces that have given their scum fans a good battering???1. Gotta be the Madrid keystone cops 1982 going into a bar and putting them all in hospital. No need for helmets, just moustaches and big truncheons, and if that ain't enough, no problemo, we're not part of the EU yet and a cultural hangover from the days of Fat Frank of doing anything we want and getting away with it still prevails so handguns at the ready. One c*nt did get out in one piece until he got Jackie Chan'd down the road. :D On the news footage shown on one of those dodgy 'Football Years' series, you can see what appears to be a naval captain running in for some 'sport.' :confused: :D

2. Cagliari 1990. They thought they were going on one of those intimidating marches where they can smash up a few cars, intimidate some grannies and laugh as they get a free flight home. Instead they got the sh*te kicked out of them and were filmed cowering, crying 'where's my mummy.'

3. Rotterdam 1993. Scum: 'But we got tickets!' Police: 'Sorry, we are going to throw you into a cage for 24 hours just like the animals you are. Please feel free to sh*t on the floor.' Oh where's me human rights lawyer? :rolleyes:

4. Rome 1997. Obviously they didn't learn anything from Cagliari seven years earlier.

5. Dublin 1995. Better late than never.

Andreas Ivanschitz for Austria last September. Through David James to make it 2-2.
Thomas Brolin for Sweden in Euro'92. Sent England home.
Dan Petrescu for Romania in WC 1998 with two minutes to score. Kevin Keegan after Michael Owen's equaliser blurted out "There's only one team going to win this game and that is England!" Romania won 2-1.
Oleg Protasov in 1984 for USSR. England lost 2-0 and it started a parliamentary debate to boot out Bobby Robson as manager.

Nearly at 50. I know there's a lot names there, but I wonder if a kindly mod might make these into a poll...(?) :)

[sylvo]

What about Gerry Daly's cracker against them at Lansdowne in the late seventies, when they brought over the massive sum of fifty fans to Lansdowne that day.

Great away support my @rse.

[OwlsFan]

27. Domarski's goal in 1973 in the game England 1 Poland 1, one of the costliest results in England's history since it stopped them from going to the 1974 World Cup finals in West Germany and got manager Alf Ramsey the sack after 12 years in charge and visiting goalkeeper Jan Tomazewski having the game of his life. Watched it live on TV. Classic stuff.

[lopez]

49. Alan Simonsen, Tans v Denmark 1983. 'Disputed' penalty (all the better). Meant the world's favourite supporters couldn't get to meet the CRS though. :(

[KR's Post]

13. Ferenc Puskas, Hungary - England 3 - 6 Hungary (Friendly, Wembley 1953)

Utter Brilliance ! best goal ever scored at Wembley IMO

[Poor Student]

Don Hutchinson in the Euro 2000 playoff. Ensured last ever Eng v Sco at the old Wembley was a Scotland winner.

[Metrostars]

Thomas Dooley, USA June 9, 1993 (first goal in the 2-0 win over Graham Taylor's England....Lalas scored the second)

[SÓC]

What about the beauty Nuno Gomes got to win the game 3-2 against England in Euro 2000 I think?

[Pat O' Banton]

How about Robbie Keane's third goal, in Ireland's 5-0 drubbing of Ingerland in Munich next summer sending them to another sad first round exit :) .

I should quit with the day dreaming and do some work!

[Red Seagull]

How is the Hand of God number one?! :confused:

It's not the best goal out of that lot. Just the most famous.
You will have to reshuffle things there.
His other "weaving' goal in that game was far better.
