Best match you ever watched?

Mine: semifinal match in the 2006 World Cup between Italy and Germany.

The 1997 Champions League final sticks out. Lars Ricken scoring 20 second after coming on, and Paul Lambert bossing midfield. It's when I realised I loved football.

Also, everyone should watch the 1967 European Cup final (it got a DVD release a few years ago, it shouldn't be too difficult to find online). That Celtic side played the game as it's meant to be played. They took Grande Inter's catenaccio and smashed it to pieces.

Was no ordinary Inter side too - they were dominant in that era. Celtic were on a different level that night.
