No doubt. With regards to bergkamps goal against argentina. yes it was beutifull but he scored a simular goal that was even better. (but not as importand). Does anyone remember his volley against England in a qualification match? Same situation as against argentina. A very long pass from De Boer (or was it koeman)to bergkamp who volleys it gently over the english goalie. It was even faster en more skillfull than his argantia goal. I've tried to find it on you tube, but no success. Of course the best and most beautifull dutch goal ever is van Bastens’ volley in the final of euro’88. No doubt.

"I am Sneijder, no I am Sneijder!!" :-) I do believe many balls got lost when fans tried to copy the Van Basten cracker of 1988. The Neeskens goal vs Brazil in 1974 (and the Cruyff one too) actually belonged to this list... True.

So, I'm basing my opinion on not just the goal, but the build up as well. I gotta go with Sneijder’s, mainly because it was just such a BEAUTIFUL counter, followed by an amazing goal.

It was THAT goal and it happened on June 25, 1988." No goal has ever been the focus of so much talk and admiration. I think that goal sums up in a nutschell who Marco Van Basten was. A once in a lifetime gift! Thank You...Marco Van Basten.Thank You! According to Reuters, and virtually all journalists who follow soccer:

It was a fantastic goal, and the significance of it gives it that something extra to put it above the other goals. I voted for Van Basten’s goal.
