That match was absolutely amazing indeed. Also, from a more biased point of view, the United States - Portugal match at the World Cup in Korea was particulary thrilling, despite the 6:30 am EST kickoff. Obviously we won the match 3-2.

Italy - Holland of 2000 certainly deserves a mention, as well as the Champions League Final this past season.


Another one of my favorite matches of all time, however not being so much of a football spectacle, was a UEFA Cup match four or so years ago between Valencia and Internazionale at the Mestalla. It was a second leg match in which Inter were winning on aggregate, made all three substitutions, and Toldo recieved a red card for wasting time. Nobody knew what do and there was confusion as to who would be placed in goal because Inter had no subsitutions left.

All of a sudden the TV camera goes to a shot of a disgruntled Francisco Farinos seemingly irate with other players around him, waiving his arms in the air. Next thing you see is the little Farinos walking out on the pitch seemingly wearing a dress and putting on Toldo's gloves. For the last ten minutes of the match, Farinos had to play goal and keep the ball out of the net for Inter to progress.

He was successful despite complete madness in front of him and in the stands, and made some brilliant saves for a player who is only about 5 foot 8. It was one of the most thrilling endings to a match I have seen...unbelievable suspense.
Hmm interesting, do you have any details of which season and what round of the UEFA Cup? I'd like to get a clip.

The first international game i was able to attend and at the same time, what is considered by football historians as the best game ever in the history of world cup:

Semifinals Mèxico 70: Italy--Germany (Italy won in extra times 4-3)

Fachetti, Rivera, Riva,Mazzola, Bonninsegna vs Beckenbauer, Seeler, Schnellinger....

People left the stadium totally exhausted from the emotion of the game....

    Eaglesnake u don tey o. Domo!

    Cameroon-Nigeria African Cup of Nations 2004. I went through all the emotions of human existence in that one afternoon, ranging from depression to anger to happiness to utter orgasmic ecstacy!

    Add to that Argentina-England, Mexico 86. That was the first world cup I watched, when Maradona scored that wunder goal, there was absolute bedlam around me. I really didn't get it then, but whenever I see that goal, I understand.

    I think the greatest moments in football tend to be in international games!

    Tottenham 3-5 Manchester United, Spurs up 3-0 at HT

    Spain 4-3 Yugoslavia @ Euro 2000

    Czech Republic 3-2 Netherlands @ Euro 2004

    Inter Milan 3-3 AS Roma (about 2 seasons ago I think) - Montella :star:

    Man United 2-3 Real Madrid, for the Redondo masterclass and Raul's finishing

    Barcelona 1-2 Juventus AET probably the most happy I've ever been after a goal - and I LOVE barca!

    Well, I'm pretty sure the match was in 2002 or 2003, most probably in the Quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup. It was a brilliant span of 15 minutes of madness.
