Greatest team goal ever? (Video)

Everybody has their favourite type of goal.

Some fans like the long range efforts whilst others may prefer a well worked set piece routine. We like goals because, firstly, they win games (for our teams hopefully) but also because in order to score at the very highest level it requires a great deal of skill.

Of course, this doesn't apply to the scrappy ones we see from time to time (see Downing vs Tottenham) but it is a chess match on a football pitch and scoring a goal is akin to finding the finishing move, a check mate if you will.

It's aesthetically pleasing, too, and in my opinion there is no finer sight in football than that of a goal where the whole team is involved.

Brazil's World Cup goal in 1970 springs to mind where they strung together 25+ passes before scoring and Argentina did it against Serbia and Montenegro in the 2006 World Cup.

When a team scores a goal like this it shows that all eleven players are working as one; there is understanding, movement, brilliant touches and a fine finish from Esteban Cambiasso to round of the move. Argentina would win that game 6-0 but advance no further than the quarter-finals that year.

At least they still have this sublime goal to show for their efforts from that tournament.
