Only 2 stick in my mind: *Gazza against Scotland in Euro 96* which was inexplicably left out of this video and Owen Vs Argentina in WC 98. Oh and the Beckham free kick against Greece to qualify for the WC, kinda an important goal lol
Good shout, tough only picking ten and finding footage that RU-vid doesn’t sting me on copyright claims. Gazza against Scotland would have been there to if they didn’t have me remove it.
Yep difficult to judge as timing and importance sways you. The sound track cracked me up, so English, non descript but fun house - the sort of shit you love after 8 Es and what's more English than that 😂
No. 1 Bloomer's strike against Scotland in 1907 (lots of ex-internationals thought that was the best goal they'd ever seen). No.2 Mortensen against Italy in Turin in 1948 (played before Superga). Any other goal scored can fight for third place.
@@FootballFactoryQuizChannel Mortensen's was filmed. So you can find that. Bloomer's goal is based on the sheer number of internationals who swore it was the best goal they had ever seen. He was 35 yards out from goal, the Liverpool captain, Raisbeck, miskicked a clearance and Bloomer first time drove the ball so well with his instep that it rose no higher than 3 foot off the ground throughout its flight past the Scottish 'keeper who was beaten all ends up. Impossible to calculate just how difficult a skill that is to replicate. He's still 2nd on the all time top flight goalscorers list (2nd only to Greaves - Aguero is 25th, Henry is 47th, loud mouth Robbie Fowler isn't even in the top 50 - that's how difficult it is to score that many top flight goals). And yet Bloomer last scored a league goal in 1913. Way, way, way in front of any goalscorer we've seen in this country for decades.
@@FootballFactoryQuizChannel Mortensen's was just superb; Matthews set him free. He raced into the area, and then just at the by-line on the far right of the goal line he sent a rocket past the Italian keeper that pinged the near post, and gathered the netting as it spun back in the goal. The Italians had 9 players from Torino in the side; the best team in Europe beaten in their own stadium by one of the finest England sides in history (arguably 1907 and 1943 were the best overall according to Ivan Sharpe who saw every single one of them).
Sounds like an epic strike. Being able to keep a ball on that flight is even more impressive considering footballs were heavier back then. Thanks for the insight 👌
