| 1. |
West Germany
vs France 3-3 (5-4) ap in 1982
This rollercoaster
battle had everything. High drama, controversial referreing, quality goals
and a nerve wrecking penalty shoot-out to top it off. France led 3-1 in
extra-time and went close to scoring a fourth, but the Germans once again
showed remarkable strength and levelled the scores, before winning on penalties. |
| 2. |
Italy vs
West Germany 4-3 aet in 1970
This semifinal
turned out to be a classic. An injurytime equallizer secured extra-time
for the Germans, and five more goals were scored in the extra half hour
that saw Italy go through to the final. |
| 3. |
Italy vs
Brazil 3-2 in 1982
Paolo Rossi
woke up and scored a great hat-trick against the "unbeatable" Brazilian
class of 82', in a match the South Americans only needed a draw to reach
the semifinal. |
| 4. |
France
vs Brazil 1-1 (4-3)ap in 1986
Platini, Zico,
Giresse, Socrates, Tigana and Junior all well into their 30s in this quarterfinal,
but what a match they produced in what was their last chance of World Cup
glory. |
| 5. |
Argentina
vs England 2-2 (4-3)ap in 1998
The best match
of the last World Cup. Lots of drama including Beckham's red card and two
great goals by Owen and Zanetti. |
| 6. |
England
vs West Germany 4-2 aet in 1966
The famous
Wembley final which went into extra time because of yet another late German
equallizer. Geoff Hurst with a hat-trick including the controversial "Was
it over the line?". |
| 7. |
Belgium
vs Soviet Union 4-3 aet in 1986
Superb entertainment
in this seven-goal-thriller that swung back and forth with Belgium lucky
to score two "offside" goals. |
| 8. |
Brazil
vs Italy 4-1 in 1970
Pelé
crowned himself king of soccer with his third World Cup title. Attacking
soccer displayed at its finest, especially in the second half, in Brazil's
most impressive victory. |
| 9. |
England
vs Cameroon 3-2 aet in 1990
The charming
lions of Cameroon with 38 year old "Supersub" Roger Milla as their most
important player, went very close of a semifinal place. Two penalties by
Lineker eventually stopped the Africans, who were most neutrals favourite
team. |
| 10. |
Romania
vs Argentina 3-2 in 1994
Dumitrescu
and Hagi took advantage of an Argentina team still suffering from the loss
of Maradona. Definitely the most entertaining game of the 1994 World Cup. |
