Following from the great teams thread, one for great goals which you actually saw live "at the ground"

Me - I was in the away area of stamford bridge when zola got this one

And one from my team was this beaut by safri:

Ohio State vs Iowa in 2009 for the conference championship. Game winning kick in overtime. 106,000+ watching a hell of a game.

This one I remember so well I couldn't believe it went in!

And then probably the most important goals I've seen, the comeback from a 3-1 first leg play off semi final defeat to win 3-0 in the second leg thanks to a Scott Rendell 119th minute goal!

^^^A field goal is not a goal Snoo. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/goal

I've seen some real beauties in my time but this one will be forever burned into my memory as one of the greatest.
RFK Stadium in Washington DC is a baseball park and the press box wraps around the left corner, so I was sitting just above the goal as Saeed Al Owairan came flying down the field toward me. Definitely the best goal of the 1994 World Cup.

93rd minute... (may have made quite a bit of noise when that went in - I was about level with the 6yd line on the far side lower section)

Volume levels increasing when this went in - he messed up the kick a bit, but it was pretty significant...

...but all that was nothing to the amount of noise I made when this one went in...

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL (says the man on youtube)

(but that didn't end very well :( )

^Didn't know you went to South Africa for the World Cup. Would have been great to meet up with you there.

If you want to be technical, a field GOAL technically is a goal. It's as close to soccer as football can get really. I just have the wrong sport.
