Oh come on...France were rubbish for the first hour. Yes, it was dramatic, but never the best game.14

Not a touch on 5-4 v Cardiff.4
-
The Ipswich 4-4 this season was better.4
-
Or 7-6 v Huddersfield…4
-
Or 4-3 v Aston Villa…3
-
Or the first Charlton Sunderland final1

As was the 4-4 with Ipswich in 1990 (?)LargeAddick said:The Ipswich 4-4 this season was better.3 -
And the 5-5 draw with Bristol rovers late 70s3

I saw from 60 minutes onwards. What drama, I thought the frogs would go on and win once they equalised but fair play to Messitina.
For a game of this importance this was up there.
I cannot stand international football but do realise my apathy is in the .0% minority.
As an aside, St Andrews '87 for me.2 -
There is no question that our 7-6 win against Huddersfield in 1957 (65 years ago this weekend) is the greatest match ever. To come back from 5-1 down with 10 men and then to win in the dying seconds will never be equalled let alone beaten. No other professional match in British history has ever seen a team score 6 goals and lose. A national newspaper named it the greatest match in the last millennium. The match ball is displayed in the Charlton Museum, so be proud of your club's achievements, especially when we are currently so much in the doldrums.10

The Battle of the Bridge.

It’s was good for a World Cup final but not even in the top 100 games of all time .6

All of the greatest games in retrospect don’t have the sort of analysis that looks into “the first 20 minutes” or “it was a bit stale after the break”.
In 30 years time, people won’t care about that granular detail. It will be about the goals, the superstar names, the iconic images, the historical context - and the fairytale ending.
And if you base it on those ‘romantic’ elements, it’s right up there.7 -

Hmm, do you not think that there's a charm to international football: can't buy players (on the whole), only train together a few weeks a year, few games a year, relatively little money, playing for pride? I think it is quite pure.ElfsborgAddick said:I saw from 60 minutes onwards. What drama, I thought the frogs would go on and win once they equalised but fair play to Messitina.

Definitely the best WC final I have seen, and my first was 1974, but not the best game. Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle was the best game I've seen on TV. Best live game was the first play off v Sunderland.0

Funny, assuming you are joking. If not, then I don't get it.ElfsborgAddick said:

France losing on penalties 😂 😂 😂2

But of the top 100 games of all time it was, probably, number 1.Bedsaddick said:It’s was good for a World Cup final but not even in the top 100 games of all time .2 -
If there are 100 games that are better than that, then they certainly wouldn’t have carried anywhere near the gravitas going into it.
Been a long time since we had a game that felt absolutely seismic in the history of football going into it. The fact that it then went and over-delivered to that sort of extent is astounding.Can count on one hand a game of that importance that truly lived up to the hype.3 -
It was pony ffs.
But had an hilarious ending 🤣🤣2 -
City v Spurs in the CL was better than that.1
-
Not even close to the greatest game ever.
France didn’t have a single meaningful attempt on goal for over 70 minutes.2 -
If your old enough to have seen England win the 1966 World Cup, and are an England supporter, this must be it.1
