Best ever game of football not involving Everton?

For me, Germany humiliating Brazil is the absolute top game excluding Everton. The media worshipping Brazil constantly was really grating me, and then Germany just pulverised them, even their manager told the team at half time to go easy (I wouldn't have). Magic.
The way Brazil just psychologically collapsed was amazing to see, bit like a batting collapse in cricket but not something you see all that often in football. Normally someone shows some basic leadership and backbone to pull things together but Brazil just had no one.
 
Scotland 1 v 3 Argentina

Was very fortunate as a football fan to see the World champions at Hampden Park, but unfortunate as a Scotland fan to see us get pumped. A young Diego Maradona stole the show and it was a pleasure to see him in action, however, Leopoldo Luque was outstanding in the Argentina World cup the year before and I loved seeing him.
 
A few more:

Italy v France 1978 - also Scotland v Netherlands 1978 World Cup

Netherlands v Spain 2014 World Cup

Spurs v Man City FA Cup (3-0 to 3-4 with 10 men)

Fulham v Juventus Europa

Tranmere 4 Southampton 3 FA Cup

Newcastle 4 Arsenal 4 (from 0-4 at h-t)

Zenit 8 Dinamo Minsk 1 (after 0-4 in the first leg) Europa League this season.. 4-0 in 90 minutes to go into E.T. then 4-1 meaning Zenit needed two in twenty minutes.. they got FOUR (but it was in the balance until injury time)!!

I'd say Barca v PSG CL but the ref brought that one to the boil with some shocking calls.

Would like to add, Morton were on the wrong end of a 10-2 drubbing against Hamilton Accies a few years ago. Unfortunately, me and the boy were there. I said to him at 8-1 down "do you want to go home", his reply was "what's the point now".

That was hilarious. You get a goal! You get a goal! You get a goal! Everyone gets a goal! I'm surprised Neuer didn't run out of his box and try to join in.

Was this around May 1980? I saw England beat Argentina 3-1 but Maradonna was unbelievable.
 
Good, ( actually it was Crystal Palace 3 Liverpool 3 but only a complete pedant would point that out..) but not the best. I've always preferred;
FA Cup Semi Final, April 8 1990, Villa Park
Crystal Palace 4 Liverpool 3.

Best non Palace game where I was there;
Euro 96 England 2 Scotland 0.
Also enjoyed Everton 7 Sunderland 0 a few seasons ago.
Forgot; England 2 Greece 2 with Beckhams last minute free kick at OT to qualify for the 2002 WC. Everybody forgets the MoM performance by Nigel Martyn who single handedly kept us in the game.
 
FA cup final 1987 Spurs getting their arse handed to them by Coventry ....yes Coventry !! Mabbutt with the winner....deep joy lollollol

Was there that day, didnt think it was a game great though. Became a good game after Sheringham scored. Brilliant at the end though.

I saved that game on my DVR for 3 years and would watch it just now and again.

Unfortunately I changed cable providers so it's gone. It really was a spectacle.
 
Gillingham 2 Man City 3 in the play off final , city 2 down .

Barcelona 5 Real Madrid nil under pep .

Drugs and booze have taken their toll on my brain but the tevez , Ronaldo and Rooney era when. They won the champions league produced some good games . I think one midweek night game at arsenal stands out . Ronaldo scoring a worldly .
