I know this isn't going to win in this thread, as great football games are about more than great football... but I am adamant that the first 45 minutes of this game is the closest thing the world has seen to a perfect football performance. There's not a team past or present that would have survived playing against that.

It was pretty dull until the 80th minute when France got one back, but the 40 minutes from there on out were superb.

I'd argue City v QPR was the greatest game ever though!

QPR game greatest finish to a game and that was what made it memorable, City were shite for most of that game against a very poor side

Watched quite a bit of the 1970 WC on replay over the years, but the quality isn't really all that in some ways. Probably because of the heat and altitude, as well as fitness levels, but it's slow and the players have so much space.

Nowadays there are games where there's hardly any space, or it's 100mph all game.

Watching replays of the 1982 WC feels like a good amount of space, plus quality.

Argentina 2 France 1, 1978 World Cup group stage game. Had everything, with two teams going at each other from minute-one. Watched it live, starting late and not finishing until the early hours. Incredible game from two top international sides. Check out the reports online!

It had everything that game. 1-0 up and on our way to the title. Red card. 2-1 down. Rags winning. And then that ending.

leeds v chelsea fa cup final replay, one for the purists ;-)

Any excuse.
Would have been even better if Hutchison scored after.

Biased I know but nothing will ever beat City v QPR, never in a quadillion years... never.

It had everything, drama of the highest order, sending off, an unbelievable comeback, a fabulous goal to win it and all at the expense of that bunch of prices.

Nothing can or will ever beat that and I was there. When Sergio scored. I swear there was a moment of absolute silence ad I actually heard the ball hit the back of the net and then...... absolute insane madness.

As a game it will never be beaten. I am incapable of thinking beyond this moment.

Once in a lifetime, a truly out of body experience, I can still hear people crying, the wailing of women...utter madness...

Quite right, it's certainly one of the greatest halves of football ever witnessed. Some teams have scored more, some teams have created more, but the absolute dominance was staggering. Pretty sure the first time they had the ball in our half was after they kicked off 1-0 down after 23 minutes which is insane regardless of who you are playing.
