It'd be cool if everyone could share their favourite moment in life involving Football, the one moment of pure bliss which shoves all the worries and agonies of everyday life out of your head.
It will be really interesting hearing from a wide range of fans from a wide age group (right?) although I can guess a couple.... *cough*Greece winning euro2004*cough*
For me, it has to be norn irons 3-2 win over spain in the World Cup qualifiers, it was the peak of Northern Irelands giant killing a couple of years back, it was a year after we beat England 1-0 and a couple of months before we beat Sweden 2-1. Being one of the smallest nations in the world, I know few matches will come close to the scorelines we ground out in 05-07 and few have come close in the past (Spain in '82)
What about you guys?

Winning the champions league, I was so relieved because I had missed a penalty, And erm.... *Sniffs* I thought I had cost us the cup,
I thought it was over, until John Terry tooked his pen, C**ky son of a b***h missed LOL! And when VDS saved Anelka the skinny piece of misery shot I was absolutely delighted and so relieved!
You guessed it moonpig, the whole EURO 2004 tournament was like heaven. Charisteas is god, back home. But one of my most memorable EPL goal was FA Cup final when Giggs beat the whole arsenal team and rocked it at the keeper and exposed his hairy chest. Awesome

Exposing is an understatement The most curliest chest hair in quite possibly in the World! Good GOD!
Hehe I said 2002, I listened to the FACup semi on the radio and the commentator went absolutely nuts. Believe it or not, Kaka said that was one of his favourite goals of all time in an interview with futbal mundial (I think)
In an intervie with KAKA called him one of the best on couldn't believe that a few years back he was playing with him on playstation and no they're on the same pitch
Given my life has been short, I'll have to go with a recent experience. Turkey's run at the Euro Championships. Absolutley stunning. I most vividly remember the goalie nailing it 90 yards right above the box, the ball bouncing out, and Turkey pouncing on it for the win. And the goalie getting red carded (they were out of subs; a defender took his jersey and stepped in)
