What are your favorite football matches memories that you have? And I'm talking about soccer for us Americans. Here's mine: Chivas from Mexico vs. Boca from Argentina during the 2005 Copa Libertadores (our Champions League on this side of the Atlantic).
My favourite match was a Toronto FC/DC United exhibition match March 11, 2007. 10 minutes into the second half the score was 0-0, so they quit in disgust and said 'screw this shit!' and started playing hockey. Toronto won 5-4 in an absolute nail biter of an OT. Good times!

Obviously not so famous as it was Rep. Ireland against France and not Northern Ireland lol. That probably made him chuckle more than anything.

You are now a marked man ...

That was indeed the Republic of Ireland, not Northern Ireland, the latter being a much better team with less Englishmen in it (whistles) ;)

Ireland 1, Italy 0 - world cup 1994, (wasn't there...but great to watch on TV...massive moment for Irish footie fans)
my own personally attended best and worst: december 1997???? Birmingham City vs Man City - ref played 5mins 1st half injury time.....the game approached 90mins with man city 1-0 up....then in SEVEN mins of 2nd half injury time blues scored twice for an unblievable win on a freezing cold december night...a glorious and welcome early christmas present
Easter monday, 1993.....i wasn't even going to go to this game, then changed my mind....sadly...the worst is even more unblievable and one of the worst experiences i ever had watching blues.... blues were 4-1 ahead with 23 mins left, and only Terry Cooper (the blues boss) did not notice Glen Hoddle's tactical shift....even now the last 23 mins leave a scar.....guy stood next to me was boasting about how on top of the game we were...and i said (jokingly) "yes, but we're Blues, we may end up drawing this game" for those who don't know...Swindon scored FIVE times in that final 23 mins to beat us 6-4....and worst still, they could've had 8 !!!!

LIverpool 3-3 AC Milan, 2005 CL Final
Liverpool 3 nil down at HT, grown men in tears, myself included, depressed, expecting complete humiliation as Milan were so on top, dead and buried. Second half and Gerrard pulls one back and we end up with 3 goals in six incredible minutes, thought I was about to have a convulsion!! Extra time and Dudek pulls off a ridiculous save from Shevchenko, only then did I think we were going to win. Penalties Shevchenko steps up and Dudek saves, we win, more tears from me and million other supporters. What a night :-)
