I want to show my son a classic match which has a good combination of drama, quality, big names and decent picture quality. English commentary would be good but not essential. Any suggestions?
Best Game for Quality and Drama
- Thread starter Physiocrat
- Start date
99 FA cup semi vs Arsenal.
NED vs CZE 2004, especially if you can convey the status of both teams at that time.
Juve vrs United, Turin 99
United 4-3 City
That is the game I had screamed the most in my life. Neighbours had to complain after Owen scored.

Our Champions League final versus Chelsea was quite a game. End-to-end, loads of chances, legendary players on both teams, shifting momentum, the highest of stakes and the most dramatic of conclusions.
Italy v Germany from the 2006 World Cup semi final is on high quality FIFA tv on YouTube.
England v Argentina from 1998 should capture his interest from the first few minutes and plenty of drama thereafter.
Either of the Barcelona v Man Utd 3-3 games.

98/99 and what was the other year?
same year, 3-3 home and away.
Ah. Thanks for that
If only it was another player than Owen to score that goal
My 2 year old doesn't appreciate goals. He enjoys and claps at passes made along the ground though as he loves to see the ball roll. I just know he will build stupid tiki taka teams in drafts when he grows up

Insert the Simpsons gif.
Italy vs Brazil from 1982 is always a good watch.

Mine isn't bothered about goals either but loves a good pass from the flanks across the box that no one can get to. He points and says ball whenever he sees that.
The match where Nani beat Kompany at scored at death was great too!
The 2nd half comeback vs Spurs under Fergie is another.

This, show him this.
Just dont let him stop at HT though, or you are looking at a potential spuds fan in your house
