Equadors 3rd against Costa Rica was a nice move with a quality finish.
I don't think the fact that they already had the game won should diminish it. As superfrank alluded to it reminded me of Carlos Alberto's goal in 1970 with Puyol doing the work of both Clodoaldo AND Pele :D . Many people consider that goal to rank with Maradona's as the best finals' goal ever even though it was the fourth and Italy were already beaten by then. I think it will take something incredible to top Torres now for Goal of the Tournament.Quote:

absolutely. Beautiful goal. Argentina are the best team so far. First game it was Riquelme. Today it's Saviola. So many good players. Plus they havent even used Messi or Tevez yet.Quote:

Reminiscent of a goal by our own Liam Miller against Lyon, a header from a Larsson cross after the best part of 2 minutes' possession & passing :)
24 passes. 9 players touched the ball. absolutely world class!! thats the best goal i've ever seen live on tv!
I think we can probably close this thread now...and start a 'second best goal of the tournament' one; nothing's going to match that
Goal of the decade.......I counted 20 passes but that was only in the replay,at least 5 before that.
Passing and moving in that goal is the best you will ever see.
Kone scored a good one for Ivory Coast today.
You're right, I doubt very much that will be topped. We'll see some crackers but none to tuch the technical brilliance of that.Quote:

Good goal but Molloys was better!:D Stands a chance of winning.Quote:

No contest IMO about which is better.Quote:

I can think of quite a few players who've never scored a goal like that..... but I agree with your pointQuote:

You see goals scored like that in La Liga every week. :cool:Quote:

Another contender last night for Maxi Rodriguez stunning winner for Argentina v Mexico.Great control and a left foot dipping volley over the keeper.It'll be hard to pick one goal out as theres so many great goals scored in this tournament.
