[NeilMcD]

Any irish ones there. I would have to say mine is Ireland V Russia Euro 88.

[jebus]

My own personal fave matches would have to be Sheff Wed vs Sheff Utd from the 93 FA Cup semi final, England vs Germany Euro 96 semis, both Liverpool - Newcastle 4-3 games, Chesterfield vs Middlesboro 96 FA Cup semi final (I think, have the video at home so I'll check that out) and the Newcastle - United game that ended up 5-0 to the Geordies ten years ago. Still remember Albert's sublime lob over Schmeichel

[PaulB]

France vs Portugal, euro chmapionship 1984 semi-final. france were 2-1 down with about 5 minutes to go and won 3-2. Portugal had a lad called Chalana playing for them, who was brilliant, great game, i remember the commentator was going nuts when france scored the winner by platini... classic

[PaulB]

Also, Poland vs Belgium from 1986 world cup, ended up 4-3 to Poland, great game.

[Hitman]

Chesterfield vs Middlesboro 96 FA Cup semi final (I think, have the video at home so I'll check that out)

* Rosenborg - Real Madrid 2-0 (1997). It was freezing over -5 C, and Lerkendal was covered with snow. It was the best game Rosenborg played in Europe ever probably. We dominated the great Real from beginning to ending, and 2-0 was well deserved. Including a superb goal from Brattbakk :cool:

* Brazil - Norway 1-2 (1998 World Cup). No words needed I think. 80 minutes played: 1-0 and Norway out of the WC. 10 minutes later: 1-2, qualified for the next stage, and we're in Walhalla :D

* Luxembourg - Czech Republic 1-0 (1995). I consider that to be a victory for amateur teams globally. The goal in the last minute was broadcasted on football TV shows globally and papers all over Europe reported on how tiny Luxembourg managed to beat the feared Czechs... The goal was by Guy Hellers, a corner that didn't get cleared, and then a shot perfectly in the goal via the lower side of the crossbar...

* Portugal - Greece 0-1 (2004 European Champs). The ultimate victory for the little ones, Greece proved that it's still possible for the little ones to beat the rich and the famous. And well-deserved, I disagree with the statements on defensive play. Throughout the tournament, Greece was well-organised, but also countered as soon as there was a possibility. They beat Spain in the qualifiers, and in the actual tournament they beat Portugal (2x), France and Czech. How can their victory ever be undeserved?

[Dodge]

Best Games pats have been involved ina re the 4-3 Cup semi win and a cracking 3-3 draw in Richmond in Dec '95 (mention too of the cup game with Rovers that ended 3-2 (davey BYrne late winner) and beating Athlone 3-2 with Christy McElligott in goals!)

Outside of that the first game I ever remember watching from start to finish was Brazil v France in 1986 world cup. My dad blames that game for getting me hooked. Spain v Yugoslavia in euro 2000 was crazy, as was Barcelona v Valencia when Rivaldo scored the greatest ever overhead kick with minutes to go.

Dodge , Brazil v France 86 was a classic . Anybody remember Brazil v Italy in 82 WC , think it was the quarter final ?? Rossi got a ha-trick .

Found another gem , Cutting Edge ''Graham Taylor '' , its a fly on the wall doccumentry and Englands bid to qualify for the 94 WC . Compulsive viewing .Hard hitting and shows how bad a manager he was by including Andy Sinton and Carlton Palmer in his starting 11 .

[ali2005]

for me it would have to be Sligo Rovers vs Derry City in the 1994 FAI cup final. Just came across the tape a couple of days ago

[Kerry Blue]

Anybody remember Brazil v Italy in 82 WC , think it was the quarter final ?? Rossi got a ha-trick .
Absolute cracker of a match. It was a second round group match. No quarter finals in '82. Italy went ahead twice only for Brazil to draw level both times before Rossi got his third and the winner. For me one of the greatest games I've seen was the semi-final from that year between France and West Germany. It had everything. Have it on video and have watched it numerous times.

Found another gem , Cutting Edge ''Graham Taylor '' , its a fly on the wall doccumentry and Englands bid to qualify for the 94 WC . Compulsive viewing .Hard hitting and shows how bad a manager he was by including Andy Sinton and Carlton Palmer in his starting 11 .
That was a fantastic documentary. It was done because Taylor was so sure England were going to qualify for USA 94 that it would have been the story of his great success. Instead it showed up Taylor as being completely inept for the job. I remember it most for his famous quote:
'Ooh, do I not like that!', and of course his famous verbal attack on the linesman at the Dutch game which in effect resulted in England not being able to qualify.

2003 2-0 Gerrard and Owen if I remember correctly ? You're mixing it up with our 3-1 win at Anfield. As yes the 3-3 draw with Poland, Palm it Out Packie at his best, cost us a trip to the finals.

[pineapple stu]

UCD 3-3 Velbazhd Kyustendil in the 2000 InterToto was a great game, and started off the eL's vast improvement of results which we've largely kept going to this day. :)

Brazil 5-2 Costa Rica in the 2002 World Cup was hugely entertaining - two teams who didn't want to hear about defending. When a centre half scores an overhead kick from a corner, it speaks volumes for the game!

Alaves v Liverpool was a technically woeful game - LSL standard almost, hence the goals lfying in everywhere. Got hyped out of all proportion by people (in particular the BBC panel that night) saying that all the goals meant it was a classic. Neither team could defend to save their lives. (Difference between this one and the one I quoted above is that at least neither Brazil nor Costa Rica were pretending they could defend! :))

[John83]

France 2-1 Italy, Euro 2000 Final, AET. Tension, great attacking play, amazing technical defending (Nesta and Cannavaro were awesome) and a dramatic finish. Can't ask for much more.
