Pick your favourite football moment with your fav team, since you watch football and describe it with passion!

Share your feelings!

Mine is the UCL 99' final, followed closely by the UCL 08' final.

Right now I am busy but I promise that I will describe mine later!

Andiamo a Berlino Beppe..2006 world cup and it's not even close... I remember Italy wasn't taken as big favourites than, the group was good, than that crazy match with Australia where Totti was Totti.. An easy win with UKraine, and boom semi-final... remember the germans were so favourite(after Argentine were out) to win that World Cup, that eliminating them will be a life time great memory.. The Grosso goal in extra-time was so good emotionally for me, i couldn't belive my eyes, all germans were crying and Klinsmann was clueless ... Italy strikes again, after people thought that Italia was declining rofl

Pirlo and Cannavaro were absolutely fabulous in that game... Italy was so united as a team, that no one could break azzuri... Than final with france.. Penalties, i remember i wasn't sleeping good all week, i was reading all newspapers, sport news etc.

When your very underrated team that you belived in wins, it's nothing more special in football than this

The night of Istanbul.

It was the same night I graduated Secondary school. Everyone in school was going to the city for a night out. Got a fake ID from one of my older friends. (well not actually a fake ID, it was his driving licence. I dont know how it worked cause I was still 17 and he was like 21/22 I think and the only similarity was that we were both male and had black hair)

Anyway we went to a pub half way between the city and the town I live to watch the match. It was a small pub absolutely wedged to the door with Liverpool fans. There was a big projector screen in the pub. (that was rare at the time in Ireland). I remember at HT going out for a smoke and one lads I knew from school who was a die hard red was in tears. I tried to console him saying you never know, but not for a second believing it myself.

Well after the second goal went in the place went pretty nuts. Then Alonso scores the penalty and it goes absolutely crazy. everyone was standing on tables, bare chest swinging shirts above their heads. It was some atmosphere. Got a bit nervy after that but when we won it was even more bananas.

we all got taxis into town and it was raining so so heavy. I couldn't get into the first few places I tried with the ID. Me and some other lads walked the streets singing YNWA. Loads of randomers were stopping coming over to us and joining in.

Eventually when others left the pubs we couldnt get into to go to the club we went with them and somehow got in. It was my first time in a club iirc. I was soaked to the bone. Had to into the jacks and use the hand drier to get a bit of it off.

YNWA was sung over and over again inside and in the smoking area and on the streets when the club was over. It was some night and I know ill never forget it.

edit: now that I think about it. I didnt get the ID of my friend until we tried to get into the club. I was trying to use my american drivers licence to get into the pubs. (with the month coming before the day like they write it in america it made me 18.)

Donovans goal vs Algeria

Either Iniesta's goal or Iker's save. Was watching it in the La Plaza. They had put up four huge TV's between the Plaza and Cibeles and I swear like 1/2 a million people were in the streets.

The Silence on Iker's save or the ecstasy of Iniesta's goal was just too much really.

Nothing special about the Brazil NT or Milan,but if we are going to talk about football moments, then Iniesta's goal and the entire Chelsea vs Bayern roller-coaster

That whole game was so exciting I couldn't make out the most thrilling moment TBH...Barca was the best it ever was,we were doubted from all sides,considered lucky exploiters of circumstances and the expectations were that Barca will own us and put a pile of goals into our net.After Pedro's goal that feeling became even stronger...But then the retaliation :bow:

My god,I was never happier to be an Inter fan.A decade of torture before that,suddenly it all changed.We were the best,beating the best.Absolutely taught Barca a lesson that night.The fact they were so disgraceful and disrespectful made it all so sweeter...

Delightful night.

2011, 3-0 victory in the Wiener derby. It was really 2-0, dominating in the first 30 minutes but then the idiot Rapid fans invaded the pitch and we were awarded a 3-0 victory.

Another one was in the 2009 Cup, when our reserves beat the *bleep* 2-1.
