Maradona QF vs England 1986 Eusebio against N.Korea, Geoff Hurst scoring an Hat-trick in a final, Zizou when twice facing Brazil, again one being the biggest game in world football. Ozil or Kroos in the 7-1 demolishing of Brazil. You could even make a case for Salenko's 5 goals against a not too shabby Cameroon side in 1994.

It was a good team performance, not an individual performance. maradona and Zidane scored 2 in bigger games but not better performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kroos in particular was unplayable against Brazil who got nowhere near him. Zidane outshone everybody in that 98 final. Was a complete performamce. Maradona was the same in the England game. For the record, Ronaldo was excellent last night but it wasn't a complete performance, it's just the the three goals made it seem that way. I'm hoping that one of these days you'll kick the habit of going to extremes when judging teams, players, performances etc. because it's as if you can't remember anything beyond the last match seen when judging football and the current is always, always the greatest.
