JamieD 19,052 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Nowhere near even my top 10 goals. People that are saying it's the best they have ever seen must not watch any football.Just the other week there.. Far better.That wouldn't even be in my top 2 Van Basten impersonations. Try this.

Skol 401 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 That wouldn't even be in my top 2 Van Basten impersonations. Try this. Whilst undeniably a fantastic goal, the video posted by WDDWA1872 was far more similar to Van Basten's famous volley than yours.I think Ibrahimovic's goal was outstanding but by no means the greatest ever. I don't even think it was Ibrahimovic's best.As a side note, his comments were very interesting (and somewhat reflective of the sudden outpouring of praise on here),"That's the way it is with the English. If you score against them you're a good player, if you don't score against them you're not a good player.I remember Lionel Messi before the 2009 Champions League final for Barcelona. Then he scored against Manchester United and suddenly he was the best player in the world. Maybe now they'll say something like that about me."

Thermopylae 15,287 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Surely the standard of opposition must be a part of it though I mean the Maradonna one against England was in the quarter-final of the World Cup which makes it even better Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongolikecandy 418 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Surely the standard of opposition must be a part of it though I mean the Maradonna one against England was in the quarter-final of the World Cup which makes it even better saying that Terry Fenwick was on the pitch ffs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeDontDoWalkingAway1872 303 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 That wouldn't even be in my top 2 Van Basten impersonations. Try this. Would say that is better but the goal I put up happened last week, was just using it as an example as to the fact it was nowhere near the best.

WeDontDoWalkingAway1872 303 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 What's the best goal ever then?Maradona World cup? Zidane CL final? Sone Aluko against the scum? Joking apart could go on and on and name better goals than that. Just don't get the hype at all, it was the last minute of a friendly his team were winning and he had an open goal to aim at.

Skol 401 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 This one? Yeah that's the immediate one that springs to mind. Outstanding. For those discussing quality of opposition, we shouldn't let the fact that it was only England detract from the goal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't get the hype at all, it was the last minute of a friendly his team were winning and he had an open goal to aim at.I'm not saying that it was the best ever, but, to my knowledge anyway, it was certainly a unique piece of skill. If you can't see that, you haven't watched enough football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
