Best goal in a World Cup since Bergkamp vs Argentina in 98.
Not even close to the best goal since ‘98.
It won’t even be in the top 5 of this World Cup.
Just in my opinion, if a better goal comes along, it would have to be a bicycle kick, catching a volley in the air and batting it in a la Zidane or maybe a goal at an angle that curves into the goal. So it’s one of the best.
At about 4:00 in, Forlan strikes the ball off a volley, that’s good, the next goal is one at an angle. Good too.

It sounds like one is saying Van Persie got lucky, well, one can call those “free kick” goals “lucky” as well.
But if one hits a header off of a 40 yard pass, that ball can go in any direction, all cattywompus, the ball needs to have the right touch just like a volley from a pass.
The goal that was set up by the Dutch judged as the best goal had a lot of passes leading up to it.
