I would like to know what moments bring a tear to your eye know matter how many times you watch it. Whether it's an amazing achievement of a national team, a club team, a player; what is it that makes you wanna reach for the tissues. It is not necessary to be a team you support, just an amazing achievement by something, or someone. When i say brings a tear to your eye, it doesn't have to literally, but i'm sure you know the feeling i mean.

These are mines

The latest one would be the minute of silence Munich tribute match.
There's a whole load more, but being non-football result related, it'll bore you guys to death!

MAN UTD treble years, match against BM and JUVE, both game we fight like no another day... heheh

Us beating Madrid 4-3 at Old Trafford but still being knocked out. Beckham's contributions brought tears to my eyes.

Van Nistelrooy missing the penalty in injury time. Triple whammy because of pizzagate, losing a ton of money from betting and not getting three points.

Scholes and Keane being asked to lift the trophy in the final on the field despite not playing in the final.

Pavel Nedved suspended for the Champions League final - I felt for him.

Will probably add Brazil beating England and David Seaman balling his eyes out.

this is one of my favourites..

schemeichel the famous save from bergkamp

Oh yes.. During injury time after 90 minutes... It is either a win or lose situation.. My big hero made the fantastic save.. and the treble dream continues on.

Bring tears is a statement which means that it is very sad to me. Sad moments for me is always the Munich tragedy. That is when I know why I love Manchester United. Not because of the victories and successes that are temporary.

sacrifice...

mine when
beckham play for his last game wif real...
liv comeback in ucl..
ars lost to barca in ucl...

Malaysia lost to Man u... hihi

The day when I got to know that Zola is leaving Chelsea. My hero, forever.

EDIT: Ah, I skipped the first post and posted. My apology. Anyway, football moments.... hmm..

mine

1.EURO 2000 =It already 90th minute and Yugoslavia lead 3-2,but Spain score two goal in injury time and win 4-3
2.UCL 1999=Barcelona lost 3-1 at Stamford Bridge but smash Chelsea 5-1 at Noucamp
3.UCL 1992=Koeman help Barca win their 1st Champions League
4.UCL 2006=Belletti shot past Almunia
5.La Liga 2005=Ronaldinho score two fantastic goal at Bernebeu when Barca beat their rival 3-0

I hav to say Man Utd treble..Man Utd snatch the EPL title from arsenal at 02/03 after trailing them for quite awhile..Liv UCL comeback..Real clinched league title with Beckham playing his last game for them..

Like madmoz, it was the Munich tribute. Didn't actually criy but felt very overwhelmed. It wasn't the minute silence though. It was when the players walked out and the guy playing the bagpipe came ouit with them, playing The Red Flag on his bagpipe. The fans singing We'll Never Die along with his bagpipe playing. That moment really got me.

bet england to qualify for the Euro 2004, and then it brings tears to my eyes.... lol, just a joke

but for me, nothing beats the surge of feelings when gerrard scored against olympiakos to qualify for the UCL knockouts.
oh yea, the winning the UCL was also a hard to forget experience. I was on the verge of giving up the game after half time and the boys surprised me with the 3-3 draw, and then the ever-unsettling spot kicks which eventually won the cup for us.

liverpool lost to milan last year.. we play a better game yet unlucky to win

man utd's win against bayern
last weekend's munich memorial against city

the big margin win wont bring tears out of me...

1 moment.

When Solskjaer scored the winner in Barcelona 1999

during the first half 2005 champs league final i almost cry out when liverpool were trailing 3 goals behind.. then the tears come joy

1 word...Istanbul. nuff said...

Final FA cup 06/07 kedah vs perlis..kedah won through penalty..

Final Malaysia cup 06/07 kedah vs perak..that complete a treble season for kedah..

and one more moment way long time ago.. kedah lose to selangor 5-0..

Local state
Tears of joy
When Sabah beat Negri Sembilan to win the Premier title...cant remember the year but it was the days of Matlan Marjan, Ollerenshaw, Vaselin, Khairul Azman

tears of sadness
THREE times Malaysian cup final for Sabah...TAK MENANG MENANG JUGA....


Local : country
tears of joy
when James wong scored winning last minute goal against South Korea (the REAL one) to qualify us for Moscow Olympics

tears of sadness
No need to say..if want to bother..every time read about Malaysian football also cry...

Istanbul. I am with Milan.

Most recent would be the Munich tribute in Old Trafford. The fact that all the fans behaved and honored the lost lives plus the fans hoisting up the red and white banners towards the end of the game despite a poor performance from the team on the pitch. People feared that the tribute would have been disrupted and in shambles but the people united for a common cause proved them wrong.

Liverpool Vs Ac Milan C. League FINAL
Liverpool Vs West Ham FA cup FINAL

the final whistle of Munich Commemorate+EPL match Manchester derby. man i really fell for Charlton. you can see thru his eyes...how sad to lose this game. they'd planned for quite so long, the jerseys,scarfs,flowers,bagpipe,etc. dude... i love the jersey!

Istanbul for me, FA Cup 2006 was great but not til the extend of bringing tears to my eyes.

Qualified thru Gerrard's goal, beat Juventus 2-1 with Luis superb goal, Luis 'invisible goal' against Chelsea and the final.

Still bring tears to my eyes when i watch the vcd over and over again

as much as i love football and Arsenal...

it never bring tears to me.....not to that extend....

MU vs BM during 99 CL final. was few of MU supporters watching the match in opponent's den.
of course........ tears of joy!

1) Hillsborough. Although I never knew the victims personally, it was an overwhelming experience to stand in front of the memorial and see those 96 names.
2) Istanbul, especially the rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" at half time. Watched "One Night in May" again.
3) Titi Camara playing, scoring and then dropping to his knees in tears at the Anfield Road End, on the very same morning his father passed away. There's commitment for you
4) The return of God to Anfield
5) Gerrard's awesome goal against Olympiacos to send us through to the knockout stages of the Champions League
6) Beating Chelsea in the semi-finals of the 2005 Champions League, putting us through to the final at Istanbul. The celebrations after the match were amazing as the Kop burst into song. Mourinho still hasn't forgiven us for that
7) Reading stories of Shankly and how he touched the hearts of Liverpool fans
8) When we were on tour in Thailand and greeted by fanatical support, Jamie Redknapp who was then captain whispered to one of the foreign lads, "now you know what it means to play for Liverpool FC".
9) When Robbie Fowler visited Thailand with the team, he was appointed an ex-military captain as a body guard. The bodyguard (can't remember his name) told Robbie that he'd visit Liverpool one day. 2 years later, he saved up enough money and went to Melwood to see the team train. After training he called out to Robbie who recognised him and even remembered his name. Robbie took him out to dinner with the lads and paid for everything during his duration of stay. The fans will always be remembered.


I'm a soppy sap.

1 - Hillsborough
2 - Istanpool

AFAIK, football brings me more joy than pain especially when we are on the winning team. I only shed tears when we lost in special/sentimental occasion.

Mine: Arsenal vs Barca (UCL Final)

wayne bridge goal making it 2 - 1 i think against jens lehman during chelsea vs arsenal quarter final champions league last season for ranieri.

Mine was when Puerta collapsed during the match against Getafe.

and for me,, yeah..

sad story,
italy lose to france in final euro2000 with golden goal scored by david trezquet
ac milan lose again liverpool ucl 2005
italy lose to brazil in wc1994 with penalty shout out..


what more?

Martin Tyler (as Riise was taking freekick against MU in a EPL match couple of seasons back): Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
Andy Gray (talking about Barthez): you dont try to save that..you just collect the ball from the net and carry on...


vs Olympiakos
Martin Tyler: GERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARDDD
Andy Gray: oh you beauty........................you beauty....

Southampton getting relegated after losing to Man U ( who played their usual first 11 even though they can't win the EPL anymore )

On a happier note, watchin replays of Southampton beating Man U in 96, especially this goal brings a tear to the eye...how did we fall from winning Man U in the EPL to scraping draws in the CCC

I'm curious to hear from posters who have shed tears when 'their' national sides lose; why is it you do so? This is not a challenge, I'm really curious to know where the emotional attachment comes in.

Shed tears of laughter no doubt

Dukey,

And these are probably the same bunch who crucify their actual national team players.

Its the same reason why i don't fancy international matches as much as i do for club matches involving Arsenal. I mean i don't mind watching World Cup/Euro Cup and so on but i don't get the same excitement as watching club games.

Offtopic: When joining us play futsal again?

I share your sentiment. When it comes to internationals, I watch teams that play good football.

Been busy of late lah, CNY and all. Will also be away each week until after March the 13th. Then perhaps

Well if you were referring to me, I felt sad for Seaman, not England. Last World Cup and he'll be remembered for Ronaldinho's free kick? Gotta feel sad. And you have to feel for my wallet especially when Owen scored and then ........sigh..

Wasn't referring to any one poster in particular. It's just I for one am not emotionally tied to any other nation, not enough to cry tears of joy or victory for them anyway. I'm asking because I want to understand the psyche of those that are, emotionally involved with another nation I mean. I can however see myself being sad or happy for them but then again, there are many more things to be sad or happy about, things that don't directly concern me I mean. I don't gamble on games but I do understand the pains of having to part with your money. God knows I parted with a fair bit of mine over the CNY period

ya, i like martin tyler ... the riise 1 really classic ... riiiiseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee haha

Well if Malaysia were playing in the same level as Brazil/Holland/Italy/France and they lost an important finals game, i do think i might shed a few tears of sadness or if they were to win World Cup one day, i might shed tears of joy. And thats simply because its my nation and i'm patriotic. Other than that, no real reason to feel sad or extra happy when other nations win/lose.

But generally i still do see some patriotism when Malaysia plays in any football/futsal game. The most recent futsal game in Stadium Negara proves so as we were cheering quite madly when Malaysia beat England. Even a few years back when Man Utd visited us and played a game with us and though majority of the crowd are Man Utd fans, we still cheered like mad when we had few chances to score. I've also watched the Brazil game and i must say the crowd was going crazy each time we stopped Brazil from scoring, so i wouldn't say we're not patriotic enough.

England in Futsal is like Malaysia in football lah

The only sport that gets me going is badminton.

i think those who play futsal in england are those rejected stock by the football club ...

or just a bunch of amateurs who cant qualify 2 play in U15 club team reserve

only one team in EPL (at that time, First Division) had this distinction of having the title grabbed from their very hands at virtually the last kick of the season...

Liverpool vs Arsenal, Anfield, somewhere late 80's early 90's i think.......

losing 1-0...we just need to avoid losing 2-0 AT HOME and the title is home safe and dry..
and then...one... last attack by Arsenal, they scored....
the commentator, legendary late Brian Moore famously said this when the ball was loose in front of the Anfield goal and Michael Thomas was seen running to hit it `ITS UP FOR GRABS NOW'!

darn....for 1 whole week, no mood to go to school, talk to girls, do anything.....

Beh, we got our revenge though. We bought Mr Thomas and benched him good

marc vivian foe, antonio puerta, miklos feher..
d scene n spirit during dis year 's super cup milan-sevilla..
n d 1 minute silence b4 man u-man city(but im all happy again after 2 hours )..

Just found this thread, agreed with largely of both of my fellow red...

For me, it has to be Hillsborough, like JonC said many a times, you don't go to a football match and come back in a body bag... Especially after hearing the stories of someone who WAS at Hillsborough...

Istanbul for sure, still cannot finished the DVD, watched it half way each and every time and started balling me eyes out... I am more soppy than Duke...

1999, I was playing in goal for my Kamsis Ibrahim Yaacob in UKM in our SUKEM (Sukan UKM). Semi finals, we were up against the favorites. We were down one pretty early in the game, then we had to defend against their siege for much of the game. My team defended heroically, I had to make like, a save every 2 minutes or so. Then with 5 mins left, we equalized. During the extra time we had to defend like mad again. Then in the penalty shoot out, I saved one shot & we won the game & moved on to the finals. It was our first final in quite some time & during the group stages nobody gave us a second glance. It was very emotional for me. To contribute in such a way.

BTW, we lost the final 0-3. Not much can be done. Only satisfaction to be had....

Long time ago I was defending an attack and this guy unleashed a shot and it hit me in the doink and THAT brought tears to my eyes...

I thought it should be from sitters 1 yard from the goal that you routinely miss?

You mean like the video clip below?

Holy mama, I almost shat my pants in the office reading this. You're funny!

OF COZ WHEN LIVERPOOL WON CL AT ISTANBUL 2005 FOR ME...

but strangely, heysel proved more emotional to me than hillsborough, dunno why...

Good lord!!! That vid needs to be banished from the Internets.
It actually looked much worse on video that it really is. Seriously, guys...

when kedah lost to singapore in a cup final forgot about it ..tears comes they singapore score the second goal

Brazil losing 2-3 to italy at 1982 quarter-final , heart breaking and still feel it now . that brazilian team is probably the most entertaining and playing the most beautiful football i've ever known

other than that , man utd winning the winning the treble in 1999 and the penalties at this year champions league against chelsea final really make my blood pressure running high and low in split seconds

why do man utd always have to leave it so late to win

Zidane Red Card 06 WC Final....Arsenal Champiopns League Defeat to Barca.

Recently Champs League Defeat to Liverpool

i tot that was funny

i will shed my tears if we had more luck last season.

sounds like darth vader going to riiiiiiiseeeeeeeee!

pretty sad when southampton and leeds are relegated..especially southampton...dunno why they reminds me or titanic

like ManUtd nvr win CL through PKS...
eventually a defense mistake which allows Lampard to go through WITHOUT ANY CHALLENGES, and tap it in for the equalizer !!!

liverpool comeback vs Ac
liverpool crucial win against arsenal in recent CL
tears of joy...



cristiano ronaldo missed penalty kick twice in CL??
tears of laughter!!!

I think that is the 1st time I got tears rolling out when watching football. I think it's during world cup where I bet all on argentina and they lost. lol

season 06/07..the very 1st match after Ole Solksjaer came back from long injury, and scored against charlton(?) in the rain. then he bowed down to all the fans. and then the commentator said " Welcome Back, Son....welcome back.." dayme!!! i cried...yes...i cried..

i believe that would be world cup 2006? they're super favorite during that world cup...amazing passings....and some beautiful goals to boot..

ya,the moment is so sentimental.

3 moments...1st one should be england vs greece, that time super england supporter la...90th minute..becks free kick i go crazy like hell...but the top 2 still reserved for my team, Man united, i still remember when i was 9 in 1999 i watched the final la..(1st time stay up!!)my father all dulan all dat call bookie this tat, smoke here smoke there..i also dam gan cheong suddenly 2 goals pop up... i didn't noe why, but tears started flowing from my eyes i knew that moment i would support this club forever...last one is the latest one against chelsea, i tell u guys if Mu would haf lost i would haf died...(i had quite of a faint heart due to medications) suddenly our good fren mr.terry so confident shot the ball to the post, then when vandersar saved anelka's kick ...auto crybaby sequence initiated ahaha

mr. john terry moment
haha... he could cry his life out

my moment: when spain secured the Euro 2008...
FINALLY!!!!!

When Becks missed the penalty kick against France in the previous Euro.

When Malaysia beaten by the Myanmars....or was it Laos??

Although there were many tragic and memorable moments throughout my 16 years as a United fan, one moment stands tall and really made me sad and cry.

10th February 2008. Man United vs Man City. 50th years after the Munich Tragedy.

It was a very very touching moment to see both sets of fans holding their banners during the 1 minute silence.

The reason why I decided to follow this club was when I read about this sad history and how the players and Sir Matt rose up 10 years after the tragedy to win that big fat pot.

I've just finish reading Sir Bobby Charlton's Biography and it was very touching to read from one of the survivors who was in the plane that crashed 50 years ago on the whole story of the tragedy. How it made him changed and caused his estranged relationship with his mother and his older brother Jack Charlton (he said the tragedy made Sir Bobby a changed man..). So it was a very sad tragedy and seeing the tribute really touched me. And how badly it effected the United players when they lost focus a bit and lost to City (amazing.. first time after almost how many years since the lost to City at Old Trafford).

Put a tear in my eye as well. Seeing the scarfs and banners set up by both sets of fans. Despite our very well-known and intense rivalry we managed to overlook our differences and come together to honor those who tragically died in the Munich air crash. There was only one victor that night, and that was UNITY. Add to that our Champions League win, which commemorated with the 50th year after the tragedy. I swear to God I saw Duncan Edwards and co. there giving Terry a shrug when he was taking his penalty.

I think Ole Gunnar Solkjaer give me the most memorable and tears dropping moment..
1)his goal in 99 UCL final
2)his red card against *newcastle*
3)his comeback
4)his retirement
5)coming moment: his testimonial match

Spot on Jerseyman,thanks ya..i forgot which team we played..

When did Ole get sent off against Arsenal? He was never sent off against Arsenal because in his career, he only had 1 red card (believe it or not).

And he was sent off because he wanted to sacrifice himself for the club. He was sent off against Newcastle United at Old Trafford in the 1997/1998 season because he brought down Rob Lee (who was the last man) from scoring when Rob Lee was one by one with Rai Van Der Gouw. He sacrified himself in that game so that Newcastle didn't score (after 1-1) and keep the hope of winning the league up (although Arsenal did win it that season).

*Manage to find the video clip:

Loved the expression on his face. He was like, "I had to do it. Sorry mates."

u sure?? or did u see that in RedCafe photoshopped pics/gifs??

Yeap the penalty, nearly gives me heart attack .. Gerrard swinging the cup around , the kop running around istanbul, thats the spirit.

sad moments :

Liverpool - Milan (istanbul)
Shearer's Testimonial Match - Celtic

Happy Moments :

ALL Milan - Man Utd matches :-)
Milan - Real Madrid (milan)
Newcastle - Man utd (St. James Park 1996) it was on my birthday :-)

Steven Gerrard's injury time goal against West Ham in 2006 FA Cup Final and the one with Jerzy Dudek's penalty saviour against Sheva in 2005 Champions League in Istanbul.

when man u won the double

when casillas stop italy penalty during euro 08
i almost cry...so happy
haha

In my 1st year playing football we joined some sort of tournament, we drew 1 - 1 in the 1st round and had to let penalties decide the match. I nearly cried when our goalkeeper saved the last penalty. I actually held his head and yelled at him " YES!!! YOU SON OF A B***H!!! YES!!!!" We reached the finals before getting whipped 5 - 0.

TRUE STORY.

when i c my friends cried over the phone when some1 equalize the goal just before the whistle...

* he is bookie... n most of the supporter bet on 'eat' ball.. LOL

the latest one would be how Manchester United put all the effort in claiming the double..how bad they wanted it..they deserved to be crown champions this season..

during alan shearers testimonial..watching it now still gives me goosebumps..

Scholes scored against Barcelona in Champions League 2008 Semi-Final.
Seeing Manchester United lifting the Champions League 2008 Title once again since the last time in 98/99.

When Chelsea draw at Emirates ended Chelsea dream to chase Man United. At that times, Chelsea playing with 10 men after Mikel sent off. The game ended 1-1 draw but all Chelsea fans giving standing ovation to Jose Mourinho and players. very touched moment at that time.

Wiltord winning the title at Old Tradfford. Watching the United fans curse our players as we celebrated our title success on their ground was very amusing and yet it was filed with emotion

dennis "the dutch master" testimonial game at emirates.
