Stretch mentioned the Fenerbahçe-Beşiktaş game. That was incredible to watch.

My pick would be the Liverpool-Milan game though.

I went to bed after the 1st half ended 3-0 and then wake up next morning to find Liverpool winning. :o

I can;t seem to find the video but the West Ham United vs Tottenham game in 2006 season was one of my all time favorites. Berbatov was with Spurs and Tevez with West Ham at that time and they were probably the best strikers in the league for that month or two.

Tottenham were chasing champions league qualification and West Ham fighting an improbable battle against relegation with Alan Pardew taking over just a week ago. The sheer emotion of the supporters and the intensity of the game was amazing. Premier league football at its gritty best.

1999 champions league final. If there ever was payback for ww2 that was it.
First the federal government borrowed money; then gave the money to Bank of America; then I borrowed some of that money from Bank of America and gave it to the federal government; then the federal government gave the money back to Bank of America.

LASAGNE!...WOOAH!! LASAGNE....WOOOAH!!

Arsenal fans food poisoned that team :D

And since you mentioned that, there was no highlights of this but this game was heartpounding (I consider my 2nd team to be West Ham. And I'll forever love Tevez because of this)

I'd love to find a video/MOTD montage of that Spurs vs Hammers game somewhere.

This is the best game I've ever seen... It was Taça Mercosul Final, something like Uefa Cup, Vasco da Gama (with Juninho and Romário) x Palmeiras (with Taddei)... Vasco was missing 3 x 0 at Palmeira's Stadium, then he scored 4 goals in 45 minutes and ended the game winning 4 x 3... Great Great Game!
