As much as i don't like him that cahill goal vs Nertherlands was pure class and incredible difficult,  and i believe his opposite foot as well. Easily the best by an Australian.

Its one thing to do something as a reaction but that ball took long enough that he had to think about what to do and could've done anything really. That i think is much more difficult. 



For an Australian goal this Cahill goal , followed by Yankos long range freekick.

I think Timmy’s goal in Brazil is the best ever goal scored by an Australian 

it's always the first one i think of when best goals come up

Stevie G equaliser for Liverpool vs West Ham in the 2006 FA Cup Final. Best goal for me.

It was scored stoppage time.. Watching it on TV, it was difficult to comprehend what had happened.

It's so hard to make a call on this, though. Ever so subjective. I guess it often depends on whether you're looking at the goal, on its own, or the goal in the context of the match. Then it may depend on what do you value most? Finishing? First touch? Dribbling? Teamwork?

Best individual goal
Thierry Henry for Arsenal vs Tottenham, 2002
One of the best 1 vs 1 footballers in history. Sheer pace, amazing control, brilliant vision and a clinical shot.

Go to 7:11

Most elegant goal
Dennis Bergkamp for Arsenal vs Newcastle, 2002
Exquisite. The level of gracefulness that you might expect from the prima ballerina of the Bolshoi Theatre.

Most iconic goal in a big match
Diego Maradona for Argentina vs England in the 1986 World Cup (not the 'Hand of God' goal)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K5ixKDeao8

or

Michael Owen for England vs Argentina in the 1998 World Cup
The fella was 18 when he scored this one.

Best goal by an Australian
Timmy's equaliser vs the Netherlands in the 2014 World Cup.

Fuck me that goal v Netherlands never gets old. 
You can watch it 20 times in a row and still marvel at the moment.
I don't think any of us will ever see a better World Cup goal by an Australian.
Ever.

That Kewell half volley at Highbury was insane. Kewell scored some real beauties. I go blank at times as i'm sure I've seen some great ones at the stadium.

This thread has taken an Aussie bent, fair enough, but I did see this one on tv at the time from Zelic, not "best" but very historical, especially at the time  -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJKUNeCiWpE

In context, future superstar Netherlands squad who thought they had qualification won. Zelic spoils the party at the death. 
We went all the way in the Olympics only to be thumped 6 0 by Poland - the jibes by Polish born students over group email at CS at uni still hurt to this day.

Also Berisha's goal here.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLhvRFlnwZk

2 things that stand out.  It was super, super late in the game off probably the last kick, great reflexes by Berisha, and then the huge fuckoff drama when the whistle went with Besart wanting to punch on with Bosscaart.

Bes.  What a champ.

More like 40 yards.

Most pitches are 55-60m to reach half way, I believe 60 is the EPL standard, so be at that range the shot would need to come from half way.

He hits it bang on the 6th stripe in the grass.  Assuming all grass striped sections are approx. equal there are 3 stripes making up the 18 yard box so he kicks it from 36 yards. (33m.)
