5. Eder, Brazil vs USSR, 1982
The Brazil side of 1982 were possibly the flairest international unit ever. A swashbuckling attitude saw them sweep aside all that came before them, before they imploded against Italy. This goal typifies this side. A little nugget of audacity and extreme skill.
4. Tony Yeboah, Leeds United vs Wimbledon, 1995
For about a month, Tony Yeboah was the greatest player on earth, and this goal shows why. A sustained period of appalling football carries on until Yeboah, lurking around, thinks "oh for GODS SAKE", gets the ball, rampages past two two defenders before striking it harder than i have ever seen before. Incredible.
3. Mauro Bressan, Fiorentina vs Barcelona, 1999
Twenty. Five. Yard. Bicycle. Kick
Who the FUCK is Mauro Bressan?!
2. Matt Le Tissier, Southampton vs Newcastle United, 199...something
Matt Le Tissier is the flairest footballer ever. OPINION. This goal just sums up everything about the man, he could do things that basically no-one else could do and used his flairgical powers to keep the saints in the premiership year after year. Collecting the ball behind him he flicks the ball over one player, and then another, before casually passing it into the bottom corner, the whole thing looked like it took absolutely no effort, like he could do it in his sleep. THAT is why he's so amazing
1. Andres Vasquez, Gothenburg vs Orebro, 2007
Before doing a bit of research, i had NO idea who Andres Vasquez is. Apparently he is a Swedish/Peruvian left midfielder who currently plays for Zurich. But he will never, ever be able to better this goal. A perfect example of a player achieving 100% of what he is capable of. Vasquez picks the ball up on the right side of the box, before, at first glance, just chipping the keeper...however, look again, he performs what is known as a "Rabona Kick" (which i didn't know until now). The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo have used this method to peform crosses and passes, but never from distance into the top corner. What was Vasquez THINKING?!
