World Soccer have compiled a list of the 20 greatest goals of all time.
We’ve listed the Top 10 below.
The team here at Footy-Boots.com aren’t arguing too much with the list, but feel there is one definite omission, Dennis Bergkamp’s goal against Newcastle.
Sublime vision, skill and technique.

Are you mad?
some of these goals sucked and does the order matter? the old school goals seemed a bit boring compared to the stuff we see today like these… how did these not make it?

just to list a few!
YES!! agree with the guy Taner!
And there is the free kick of Beckham against Greece.. and another freekick of Ronaldinho (under the wall) being very creative!
And Rooney’s wonder goal against Newcastle..
And Eric Cantona’s chip goal to the very top corner when he was at Man U..
And all those Peter Crouch’ bicycles!
The goals weren’t very cool, and some of them I had not heard of! But I liked Zidane’s super left volley, and Maradona’s solo goal!
But the rest didn’t deserve those lists!
Why didn’t you add the Maxi Rodriquez goal in the 2006 World Cup against mexico, for the win, you know, the bended upper-ninety volley by the player from argentina that was virtually unknown?
