It is

It deserves to be mentioned. I think it's the best goal I've ever seen scored in a World Cup I was 12 at the time and remember it well

I was 15 at the time and from Dutch descent love Anthony Fed ex lol

It wasn't the first time that Zoff was beaten by a long high ball He wasn't a bad keeper but that was his Achilles heel

@@paullawlor7552 I was 15 and Like You I haven't seen a better strike than That a Thunderbolt as Straight as an Arrow.....

The Dutch had the best long range shot ever (Haan), the best volley ever (van Basten) and the best header ever (van Persie). Amazing.

Holland vs Italy World Cup 1978 0546am 8.8.23 1st goal wasn't too bad, either....

l Agree with u . Greetings from Crete . Hellas .

@alexander usyk rubbish is your country

Super goal and in my opinion against the greatest keeper of all time

alexander usyk Ha ha - I am not Dutch!

Hardly any backlift too. He said Zoff should have saved his shot but not Brandts'.

@@gunternetzer9621 I think Zoff saw it late as his view of Haan's shot was blocked by two Italians in front of the penalty area. It swerved as well.

Ha muerto tio

Van Hanegem wasn't playing in 1978. In the Word cup 974 Haan en Van Hangem played together but then Haan (originally a midfielder) was positioned in the defense by Rinus Michels.

@@dirtyharry4649 By Johan Cruyff.

​@@Michel305thats why they never were a team

REFER TO RONNIE RADFORD.... FA CUP VS NEWCASTLE...

And don't forget, they played football, not a balloon back then. An amazing goal.

If they used that ball today messi would break his ankles at every shot ;)

Holland showed Italy that if we cant get by your brutal defenders we'll shoot from outside the box!!

Com certeza. Revendo estes jogos percebemos isso hoje bem melhor. Por isso a Itália conseguiu chegar forte em 1982. Nesse jogo a Holanda ganhou arriscando em chutes longos e deu certo. No último gol houve um desvio que enganou Zoff. Mas a meu ver a seleção italiana era mais técnica que a holandesa.

A verdadeira final foi Brasil - Italia

@@paolounreal4101 Concordo.

Final should be Brasil vs The Neatherlandsrthe 6-0 Argentina vs Peru was staged to my opinion

By far out the best of the Century

Poor Zoff, he didnt deserved mistreatment cause taken this goal...

The best

BANG!

O gol de Nelinho foi mais bonito

SpaceX has just spotted it in its 1,700th orbit

Beautiful goal indeed, but Roberto Carlos scored very beautiful goals too, especially the one against France in 1997 I guess.

I remember a Gheorghe Hagi shot that seemed to accelerate.

@@OlizerVanAntoninusyes,...but I think from Haan was faster.

REFER TO RONNIE RADFORD...

+Jonathan Sutcliffe Against NEWCASTLE In the FA Cup? That's a great goal!

Gordon M. cramp don't waste your time. just a hook to get us to endure this lane game

Archie gemmils goal v the Dutch, fantastic

Eder against Russia!!!

I am a Holland fan but I have to admit apart from two wonderful goals , overall Italy played better than Holland and in the game against Brazil they hit the post twice (for sure), maybe 3 times; so they were kind of unlucky against Brazil.

@@13muller9 Good point from the Holland fan with German striker's nick)) indeed, in the last two games they lost good part of the luck which is so important - if not decisive! - in football.

@@13muller9 I remember watching this match and Holland took the game over in the second half when Italy mistakenly took Causio off at half time and played for a draw. After Brandts scored the energy drained away from Italy and they couldn't handle Johan Neeskens when he moved up into midfield after playing in defence in the first half marking Rossi.

Italy started to go backwards in the second round as they physically ran out of steam. They were very fortunate to beat Austria in the game before this.

@@BlackCrowNavajo They only had themsleves to blame in the game against Holland by taking Causio off at half time and reverting to their negative ways to play for a draw. Bearzot was at fault for that.

Dan heb je een klein fortuin in handen. De haan is ook buiten Nederland bekend.

@@waslx1a42 Haha, een klein fortuin voor een training shirt van Haan. In your dreams...

@ANC Nutrition it's not a matter of being a "great player" but about role and having the ball roll in the right place. Players like Conti in Italy 82 or Pirlo in Italy 2006. Causio was the playmaker in Italy 78 and Sala could not replace that role. This is possibly Bearzot biggest mistake.

He also had an incredible first time effort in the final against Argentina which hit Fillol and cannoned back out.

And with a ball that weighed as if were made of stone.

Ma come giocavano? Bettega,Causio,Rossi:tutto di prima,colpi di tacco,aggredivano i difensori... E poi Antognoni,Cabrini, Gentile,Scirea,Tardelli:a tutto campo per tutta la partita. E poi l'esperienza,l'equilibrio,la durezza di Bellugi,Benetti,Zaccarelli,Zoff. Il Vecio aveva fatto un capolavoro!

@@lorenzocostanzo1391 bravissimo! Nazionale capolavoro di Bearzot !!

Tutto vero, ragazzi. Il problema fu che un mostro di portiere come Zoff si fece trafiggere da tiri da fuori area dai quali - come lui stesso ammetterà - un portiere appena normale non dovrebbe farsi trafiggere. Peccato.

@@andreazauli2883 verissimo, furono due imprecisioni di Zoff. Quella nazionale era fortissima davvero, tutta gente con i piedi sopraffini

4 anos depois se redimiu, principalmente no jogo contra o Brasil, onde ele foi perfeito e fundamental.

@@mauriciogiordanibocardo4364 Quando ele defendeu a cabeçada do Oscar, se tornou o cara mais odiado do Brasil 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great goal but wasn't it deviated by an Italian player? Plus the goal post, so a little luck didn't hurt. Interesting to see this Azzurri team, a demo version of '82. Missing Altobelli, Collovati, Graziani, and Conti, among others. Italy has more World Cup victories than Holland has finals; in fact, it has as many lost finals as Holland!

@@sastal No, Italy has lost two finals, in 70 and 94, while Holland have lost in the final 3 times, in 74,78 and 2010.

@@nicky29031977 You are right, I missed '74 in West Germany. Still, no wins for Holland. I wish they had beaten Spain. ;-(

@@sastal Yes, they certainly scored more goals than Spain leading up to the final. It would also do vindicate their 1970's side not winning anything.

he was good... could smash it☺

He just went for it and it came off

😥😥😥😥😥😥now you completed 52 yrs

stingy, really? ;)

Never mind. With a draw, the Netherlands would play the final. A Itália precisava vencer a partida para jogar a final. No entanto, o empate foi suficiente para a Holanda chegar à final.

Miguel Saiz yes, but in my opinion the Dutches had a very expressive helping hand from the referee

@@antoniosassogarciafilho1476 I can tell you that Spanish referee Franco Martinez was considered one of the best in that World Cup. And not only in Spain.

Well, it does not tell anything to me! And I keep having the same opinion: Italian National team should be in the final! The Dutches had no fair play and obtained the victory just because of the referee

@@antoniosassogarciafilho1476 You are not right! and I don't know why you say that the game was not fair. The referee had nothing to do with the result, absolutely nothing. The two Dutch goals are indisputable, there is no influence from the referee. Italy did not deserve to be in the final. Its first phase was splendid, but the second was disastrous. A single victory against Austria and somewhat unfair. In contrast, the Netherlands played poorly in the first phase, but the second was brilliant and deserved to be in the final and even win it.

Zoff was punched in the head when Italy were defending a corner by Brandt who scored straight after. Zoff admitted later that he was feeling a bit concussed and want to come off or receive treatment. The rest is history as he conceded to long distance goals. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJhko9l9pqnHc3k.html

Poor Zoff? He won the World Cup in 1982... (and the Europa Cup in 1968)

​@@stefanoba8067 was dirceu Nelinho from Brazil what score nice shots against he ahahahaahh

?

it is not a catastophy, those two goals were unstoppable

En México 1986 había más equipos fuertes como Argentina, Francia, Brasil, Alemania, Dinamarca, Unión Sovietica, España, etc.

@@tuttirulla meh

Sí Sino Zoff,alerta a faccheti del posible disparo de Haan,Zaccarelli no lo obstruye y saca el misil.

Alfa&Omega 00000 aldo I loved Bettega and Rossi the dutch where the best team.

Alfa&Omega 00000 if they where better than Italië had to win from the dutch,which they dident

Zoff made up for it four years later. ;-)
