Sneijder’s 4-1 vs France the most beautiful goal!
Football fans could chose the EC’s best goal on the UEFA website. Wesley Sneijder’s wonderful strike fromm outside the box, the 4-1 against France, received most votes and is officially the EC’s most beautiful goal!
Sneijder’s goal received 40% of all votes. Nihat’s late winner against the Czech Republic ended second with 14%. Arshavin’s goal against Sweden came third, with 12%.
What’s that? You missed this goal?
Here it is
I don’t get why it was voted #1. Is it a nice goal? Yes. Is it a great goal? Likely. What kind of implication did it have for the outcome of the match? Not much. The game could have easily ended 3-1 and the point would have gotten across.
Sneijder’s goal against Italy is my #1. He had the slightest space to get the ball through, with a defender right beside him. The ball was high for him (he had to jump) and the body rotation required to get the ball to go towards goal was amazing.
My #2 is Robben’s against France. Some might say it was the keeper’s fault, but look at how lucky some people have been (Gomez) without capitalizing on their chance. There was enough room for the shot to be taken and Robben took his chance.

I would have to agree with Ross. This 4-1 goal by Sneijder was spectacular, but the Italy game’s goal was even more so. And the goal by Robben was orgasmic. Strikers like Toni and Gomez had loads of chances that they just blew, but Robben can score even from an impossible angle being tackled by two defenders.

I agree! Well said Ross…
Still a great goal though ![]()
It won by a landslide too… 40% vs. 14% in second. That’s a big margin!

I think this was the most beautiful goal of the EC. For me, the key word is “beautiful” not “important”. The most important goal in my opinion was Torres against Germany, or any selection of Turkish goals

watching this goal brings me some wonderful memories but with flashes of madness and frustration, because sneijder and the group didn’t show any of this against russia!!!!!

And there goes a Spaniard, reigniting the tachtigjarige oorlog.
Funny for a man whose country hasn’t won the EC in 44 years to come in like he’s the king because of a few flashes of brilliance from two or three of his players.

I guess Porchetta is still not over the fact that Italy got their assess handed over to them not once but twice in 4 games. Although that was indeed ugly, you should really move on.
my number one is sneijder’s against italy. number 2 is van persie’s against france (because of the collective movement,ruud’s pass,robben’s run,etc). number 3? silva’s goal against russia (the third spanish goal in the semi final)

As alaa said this goal brings only frustration because the group didn’t do any of this against Russia so we can all forget about beating Italy and France because they didn’t do well in the most important game.
We have seen how good we can be. If we had won this tournament everyone would have said that we deserved it but now nobody remembers us, same as at the WC ‘06.
