Similar occasion happened on Lionel Messi on a match against Getafe IIRC. People started to quote MESSIDONA after it.

I really find maradona's hand of god a joke..
OMG it's a bloody handball for christ sake!!
Everybdy is talking like it's a miracle moment.
The only reason that is a goal is because the stupid referee did not see it. Trust me if it wasnt a goal, no one will even remember it

no, it because it was against england
messi handball goal only few remember it, because against getafe

liverpool greatest comeback , istanbul 2005

The one i referred was the individual goal. Went pass 5-6 oppositions and score it like Maradona did.

Yeah he had handballed before also. Almost forgot it.

I think dun have much ppl know about it.... maybe not...
2000/01, Juventus are leading 2-0, last three match, second half, at 20 yard Hidetoshi Nakata dribble the ball and score a goal, later few minute he assist the second goal to helping AS Roma to win a point to keep them at first place at Italia Seria A.
Sry for my poor english.

David Beckham's free kick against Greece before the 2002 World Cup which sent England to the finals

He bent it alright!

because he's bent

Seeing your avatar.. no wonder you remember it well. heh

If you read his autobiography, he set out to revenge against Haaland as it was one of Haaland's tackle that put him out for the season. He went and mention in the book that he DID NOT regret what he did, and would do it again.
I can take mistimed tackle or bad tackle, but when you set out to hurt another player, effectively ending his career and almost resulting Haaland having the leg amputated, then I cannot take it.

If you still love it after knowing the facts behind the tackle, I reckon you have a serious problem.

Just to stray a little, in times like these, I feel footballers should be subjected to criminal charges. In this case, it was premeditated and intent was clear, there was even a confession. This is an old issue and the only reason I'm addressing it is because I see at least one person condoning his actions.

Agreed, people who condone that needs to have their head checked. Football is a sport / entertainment (depends on how you look at it), but when you go aorund breaking other's leg and end their career, then that is somehting else.

Henry scores way too many goals at Southampton, they was showing his 100 goal video at Al-ikhsan...

definitive moment? has gotta be Roberto Carlos's free kick against France, when i think Roberto Carlos, i think of that freekick

it's ok dude...japanese wat...
btw, heard that Nakata retired and now is in the fashion business ....
any1 to clarify that?
he used to be Roma's Supersub rite...

definitive moment ah, Liverpool UCL comeback against milan...
England 5-3 victory against germany
germany 8-0 saudi arabia
Riise's Freekick goal against Barthez(MU) then his celebration(sliding on his knee with his head covered by his jersey) is super awesome!!!

i dun remember that refree name from england during WC 06
but he gave 3 yellow card to the same person from crotia...
n blew the whistle when the ball is on the foot of viduka and juz right infront the goal....
n guess what after that? Kaboom from the international lvl.

Graham Poll, he has since retired. He would've refereed the World Cup Final if not for that gaffe...

david beckham shoot from center circle against wimbeldon..tats is beckham classic..

another one should be rooney debut hatrick vs fernabache at UCL..awsome..

I have no idea what he is into now but I do know he retired at 29 years of age. I won't say he was a supersub but he was a pretty decent player. Made his name in Italy when he featured for Perugia and then Sampdoria unless I'm mistaken.

I don't know if you guys remembered.. Dennis Bergkamp's fake move go through Newcastle defender, and tricks Shay Given by giving him false information, scores the beautiful goal..

Dennis Bergkamp's fake move goal

It's a fantastic goal no doubt. The superb stuff you expect to see from Bergkamp but not exactly "definitive moments in career". Cantona's kung-fu kick is definitely one, for example.
