And yet, for the first time in my life, I don t know where to go....

Around the times... Around the seasons... Around the emotions... Around the music... Around the voices... Around the world...) The seasons go around The views go around In the world that goes around I realized there is nothing that will never change Around the world I stuff many tantalizing clues in the small pocket I don't even know the way to go back In the back of the maze in the dark The sky reflected in the field of vision which is too narrow The torn old map The compass that won't show the direction The future that is decaying at every moment [Chorus] (Around the sky... Around the clouds... Around the world...) What I staffed in my pocket are going rotten Even the kiss to pledge eternal love Even the love burnt into the memory Are waiting for the time to collapse Being scared of the sounds of the second hand The feelings go around The memories go around In the world that goes around If even the warm fireplace, even beauty, even affection spill out from the hands I'll change the uncertain world into sounds and go into mourning The seasons go around The views go around I'll live in the world that goes around To engrave everything comes into my eyes I'll sing Around the world [chorus] (Go around and go around, Go around and go around, Go around and go around Dazzling flows that go around Go around and meet again The flows branch, pray and wish Even pain go around and go around In the dazzling world) Around the spaces... Around the times... Around the seasons... Around the emotions... Around the music... Around the voices... Around the world...) Romaji lyrics (transliterated by yourvocaloidsongdatabase)： (Around the spaces... Around the times... Around the seasons... Around the emotions... Around the music... Around the voices...

Cup final The legendary “Matthews final”. 98 FRANCE 1-1 (5-4 pens) BRAZIL 21 June 1998, Estadio Jalisco, Guadalajara, World Cup quarterfinal The duel of the magic midfields. 97 PARIS ST. GERMAIN 4-1 REAL MADRID 18 March 1993, Parc des Princes, Paris, UEFA-Cup quarterfinal, second leg Paris had lost the first leg 1-3. Frenetically supported by 45,000, Paris led 3-0 until the very last minutewhen Ivan Zamorano scored Real’s supposedly saving goal. But injury time lasted six minutes, enough time for Kamboure to score PSG’s decisive fourth goal. 96 EMPOR ROSTOCK 1-3 VORWA"RTS BERLIN 19 June 1962, Ostseestadion, Rostock, East German Oberliga, matchday 33 The play-off game that decided the East German championship. Berlin’s forward Ju"rgen Noldner before the game predicted that he would score in the 15th and the 75th minute. He then managed to score in the 12th and the 72nd … 95 FC BARCELONA 3-2 FC VALENCIA 17 June 2001, Camp Nou, Barcelona, Primera Division, matchday 38 Rivaldo’s greatest game. 94 GERMANY 16 RUSSIA 0 1 July 1912, Rasunda Stadion, Stockholm, Olympic Football Legend has it that the Czar refused to pay the players’ travel expenses. 93 SPAIN 9-0 AUSTRIA 27 March 1999, Estadio Mestalla, Valencia, European Championship qualifier Spain was under pressure after having lost to Cyprus previously. Then came this game against 1998 World Cup participant Austria. 92 WEST HAM UNITED 0-5 HAKOAH VIENNA 3 September 1923, Upton Park, London, friendly Hakoah became the first continental club side to beat an English side on their own turf. And they did it in style, similar to the Magic Magyars 30 years later. After the game, Walther Bensemann, chief editor of Germany’s “kicker” magazine stated that “the supremacy of English football is beat.” 91 WEST GERMANY 3-2 HOLLAND 14 June 1980, Stadio San Paolo, Naples, European Championship preliminary round Klaus Allofs scored all three West German goals, 20-year-old Bernd Schuster impressed as central midfielder. One of Germany’s best ever performances in a Euro game, being up 3-0 with well-versed attacking football before the Dutch scored two late consolidation goals. 90 KARLSRUHE SC 3 BORUSSIA DORTMUND 3 27 November 1993, Wildparkstadion, Karlsruhe, Bundesliga, matchday 18 After 19 minutes, Dortmund was up 3-0. Then came the best 15 minutes in the history of Russian dribble wizard Sergey Kiryakov, scoring three goals between the 30th and the 45th minute. Probably disgruntled because he failed to score a fourth goal in the second half, Kiryakov crowned his greatest game with a sent-off 15 minutes before time. 89 AUSTRALIA 31-0 AMERICAN SAMOA 11 April 2001, International Sports stadium, Coffs Harbour, World Cup qualifier Archie Thompson set a new record for goals scored in an international game 13. 88 FRANCE 2-1 a.e.t. PORTUGAL 28 June 2000, Stade Roi Baudoin, Brussels, European Championship, semi final Picked because of the tumultuous brawl near the end of the game after referee Benko" gave a penalty for France in extra-time, which were only interrupted by Zidane’s Golden Goal. 87 DENMARK 5-0 YUGOSLAVIA 16 June 1984, Stade de Gerland, Lyon, European Championship, Preliminary round Denmark’s coach Sepp Piontek’s order before the game “Play offensively”. They did just that, which So"ren Lerby as conductor in midfield and Michael Laudrup and Preben Elkjaer-Larsen in attack. Piontek after the game “That we would be that strong I would not have hoped for in my dreams.” 86 INTERNAZIONALE 3-2 AC MILAN 11 December 2005, Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Milan, Serie A, Matchday 15 Adriano scored Inter’s winner in the 92nd minute with a massive shot, ending one of the best games between these city rivals in recent years. 85 FORTUNA DU"SSELDORF 6-5 BAYERN MUNICH 7 June 1975, Rheinstadion, Du"sseldorf, Bundesliga, matchday 33 Gerd Mu"ller scored three goals between the 38th and 42nd minute, giving Bayern a half-time lead of 4-2 … 84 ARGENTINA 1-1 (6-5 pens) ENGLAND 30 June 1998, Stade Geoffrey-Guichard, St. Etienne, World Cup second round One of the best World Cup games of the 1990s. 83 HAMBURG SV 4-4 JUVENTUS 13 September 2000, Volksparkstadion, Hamburg, Champions League, preliminary round HSV were trailing 1-3 in their newly modernized arena eight minutes before the final whistle. But then the hosts scored three goals, one of them a penalty by goalkeeper Jo"rg Butt, but then Inzaghi scored his third goal seconds before time, securing Juve a point. A Hamburg newspaper wrote the next day “A football game changes the city.” 82 BORUSSIA MO"NCHENGLADBACH 2-8 BAYER LEVERKUSEN 30 October 1998, Bo"kelberg Stadion, Mo"nchengladbach, Bundesliga, matchday 10 Well. 81 BAYER UERDINGEN 2-1 BAYERN MUNICH 26 May 1985, Olympiastadion, Berlin, German Cup final Underdog Uerdingen beat big favorites Bayern in the German Cup final. 80 BAYERN MUNICH 1-1 a.e.t. ATLETICO MADRID 15 May 1974, Heysel stadium, Brussels, European Cup final, first game Bayern’s unlikely hero was center back Hans-Georg ‘Katsche’ Schwarzenbeck who scored the last-second equalizer in the 120th minute with a long range effort. Bayern won the replay two days later 4-0. Schwarzenbeck’s goal was arguably the most important in the history of the club. 80 BAYERN MUNICH 1-1 a.e.t. ATLETICO MADRID 15 May 1974, Heysel stadium, Brussels, European Cup final, first game Bayern’s unlikely hero was center back Hans-Georg ‘Katsche’ Schwarzenbeck who scored the last-second equalizer in the 120th minute with a long range effort. Bayern won the replay two days later 4-0. Schwarzenbeck’s goal was arguably the most important in the history of the club. 79 BAYER LEVERKUSEN 1-2 VfB STUTTGART 16 May 1992, Ulrich-Haberland Stadion, Leverkusen, Bundesliga, matchday 38 The game that decided the Bundesliga championship that year. 78 ENGLAND 1-1 (6-7 pens) GERMANY 25 June 1996, Wembley stadium, London, European Championship semi final Simply one of the best and most exciting games of the 1990s. 77 YUGOSLAVIA 2-4 WEST GERMANY 17 June 1976, Crvena Zvezda, Belgrade, European Championship semi final The Yugoslavs were already up 2-0 against the reigning World Champs but then the Germans started one of their most brilliant comebacks. Debutant Dieter Mu"ller was subbed in seven minutes before the end of regular time and then scored the equalizer 20 seconds later. He went on to score two further goals in extra-time. 76 MEIDERICHER SV 4-3 1. FC KAISERSLAUTERN 18 May 1966, Wedaustadion, Duisburg, German Cup semi final I’m sure this was a pretty good and entertaining game, but among the 100 greatest ever games? Probably not. 75 SPAIN 2-1 SOVIET UNION 21 June 1964, Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid, European Cup of Nations final The 124,000 that came to watch this game celebrated as if they knew that this would remain Spain’s only international triumph … 74 JUVENTUS 2-2 ROMA 6 May 2001, Stadio delle Alpi, Turin, Serie A, matchday 29 Juve desperately needed a win to keep their chances of winning the scudetto alive. First it all went according to plan with Zidane and del Piero assuring a 2-0 lead, but then Nakata scored for Roma and soon afterwards, in the 90th minute, Montella equalized. Roma were champions. 73 DYNAMO DRESDEN 3-2 LOKOMOTIVE LEIPZIG 28 May 1977, Stadion der Weltjugend, Berlin, East German Cup final Apparently an awesome game. First time I heard about it. 72 ARMINIA BIELEFELD 3-2 TSV 1860 MUNICH 9 May 1981, Alm, Bielefeld, Bundesliga matchday 30 The game that saved Bielefeld from relegation that season. They were down 1-2 at home two minutes before time against direct relegation rivals 1860 Munich, but then scored twice turning the stadium into a madhouse. 71 ROMANIA 3-1 COLOMBIA 19 June 1994, Rose Bowl, Pasadena, World Cup group stage Hagi scored his wonderful goal in this game and finally proved to the world why people were calling him ‘Carpatian Maradona’ back home. 70 FC ST. PAULI 4-3 (a.e.t.) HERTHA BSC 21 December 2005, Millerntor, Hamburg, German Cup, round of last 16 Fairytale games like this show us why we love football. When Pauli scored the lead for the first time in the 109th minute, the old Millerntor stadium trembled so much that the tv cameras almost fell off the roof. 69 VASCO DA GAMA 1-2 SANTOS FC 19 November 1969, Estadio Journalista Mario Filho (a.k.a. Maracana), Rio de Janeiro, Taca de Prata This was the game in which Pele scored his 1,000th goal. Additionally to the historic importance, this was also a pretty good game. 68 ATLETICO MADRID 6-6 ATHLETIC BILBAO 29 January 1950, Estadio del Metropolitano, Madrid, Primera Division, matchday 18 Before Alfredo di Ste fano wrote history for Real Madrid, Moroccan Ben Barek wrote history as the first ‘modern’ playmaker. Barek assisted all six of Atletico’s goals in this classic encounter. 67 NIGERIA 3-2 ARGENTINA 3 August 1996, Sanford stadium, Athens (Georgia), Olympic final The 1996 Olympic tournament is often overlooked, but it was the first major trophy won by an African side. Already the semi final between the “Super Eagles” and Brazil was a hell of a game (4-3). 66 VfB EPPINGEN 2-1 HAMBURG SV 26 October 1974, Kraichgaustadion, Eppingen, German Cup, second round Amateur side beats professional side. Still one of the biggest upsets in German Cup history. 65 BAYERN MUNICH 3-3 VfB STUTTGART 15 November 1988, Olympiastadion, Munich, Bundesliga, matchday 14 Stuttgart was up 3-1 two minutes before time, but Bayern managed to score twice in the last 120 seconds. Neat game. 64 AS MONACO 8-3 DEPORTIVO LA CORUNA 5 November 2003, Stade de Louis II, Monaco, Champions League, preliminary round Deportivo president Augusto Lendoiro only twice attended games of his club in Europe the first time it was a 1-5 debacle at Arsenal, the second this game. Dado Prso scored four goals and it took FC Porto to stop Monaco with Rothen and Giuly in the CL final. 63 HANNOVER 96 5-1 1. FC KAISERSLAUTERN 23 May 1954, Volksparkstadion, Hamburg, German Championship final Only a month before the World Cup final, almost half of the German national team that would beat the Magic Magyars in Bern suffered a historic defeat when they lost 1-5 to unfancied Hannover in the final of the German championship. The Hamburg spectators abused German national team manager Sepp Herberger’s name during the second half, as he was loyal to the five Kaiserslautern players that had so utterly disappointed in this important game (the Walter brothers, Eckel, Liebrich and Kohlmeyer)… 62 VfL BOCHUM 5-6 BAYERN MUNICH 18 September 1976, Ruhrstadion, Bochum, Bundesliga, matchday 6 Lowly-ranked Bochum were up 3-0 at half-time and 4-0 shortly after the break against the reigning European champios Bayern Munich. Then came one of the most stunning comebacks ever, as Bayern scored five goals within 20 minutes, turning the score around. Bochum managed to equalize once more but in the last minute of the game Uli Hoeness scored the decisive 6th goal for Bayern. A more detailed review of that game can be found here. 61 AC MILAN 3-4 FC SAARBRU"CKEN 1 November 1955, Stadio San Siro, Milan, European Cup, first round, first leg Still one of the most sensational results in European Cup history. Saabru"cken from tiny Saarland (then still independent from Germany) with their non-professional players beat the might mighty AC Milan (Schiaffino, Nordahl etc.) at their own ground.

That they went on to beat first division side Erfurt by that result was of course a mega sensation. 56 REAL MADRID 0-3 FC BARCELONA 19 November 2005, Estadio Bernabeu, Madrid, Primera Division, matchday 12 Barca’s triumph in the lion’s den. Not so long ago. 55 DENMARK 2-2 (5-4 pens) HOLLAND 22 June 1992, Nya Ullevi, Gothenburg, European Championship semi final Euro 1992’s most dramatic game with the unfancied Danes eliminating a very good Dutch side. 54 NAPOLI 2-3 MILAN 1 May 1988, Stadio Sao Paolo, Naples, Serie A, matchday 28 One of the most important domestic games in European football history. The great Milan side that would dominate Europe in the following years based its international glory on the Scudetto they won in the last minute after having trailed ruling champs Napoli for most of the season. This game three days before the end of the season was the turning point. Maradona scored with a wonderful free-kick from 15 yards. Milan would have to wait four years before winning the Scudetto again. 53 EINTRACHT FRANKFURT 6-3 SSV REUTLINGEN 25 May 2003, Waldstadion, Frankfurt, Bundesliga II, matchday 34 Last day of the season in the second division. Frankfurt was topping the league one point in front of local rivals Mainz 05. After 60 minutes it all seemed over for Frankfurt as Mainz was up 4-0 in Brunswick, while Eintracht had just conceded the 3-3 equalizer against Reutlingen. But then Frankfurt managed to score three times, sealing promotion in the last minute. 52 BAYERN MUNICH 5-1 FC SCHALKE 04 28 June 1972, Olympiastadion, Munich, Bundesliga, matchday 34 Bayern’s first ever game in the Olympic stadium. 80,000 travelled to see league leaders Bayern take on second-placed Schalke, one point was separating both sides. You can read detailed account of this game here. 51 WEST GERMANY 2-1 HOLLAND 7 July 1974, Olympiastadion, Munich, World Cup final The legendary 1974 World Cup final 50 1. FC KAISERSLAUTERN 3-1 FC BARCELONA 6 November 1991, Fritz-Walter-Stadion, Kaiserslautern, Champions League, second round, second leg This was a brilliant but bitter game by Kaiserslautern. They had lost the first leg 0-2 but were up 3-0 20 seconds before time, at the verge of eliminating huge favorites Barcelona after a really brilliant performance. But then Jose Bakero scored virtually in the last second. Barca later went on to win the Cup. 49 FRANCE 5-0 BELGIUM 16 June 1984, Stade de la Beaujoire, Nantes, European Championship, group stage “Who is going to stop these Frenchmen?” was the headline of German football magazine Kicker the day after this magnificent game by Euro 84 hosts France and their brilliant captain Michel Platini. The congenial midfield duo Platini/Giresse scored four of the five goals. Platini after the game “We are stronger than in 82.” They sure were. 48 VfL WOLFSBURG 5-4 MAINZ 05 11 June 1997, Stadion am Elsterweg, Wolfsburg, Bundesliga II, matchday 34 Another second division promotion thriller, this time a battle between two direct competitors. 47 PORTUGAL 5-3 NORTH KOREA 23 July 1966, Goodison Park, Liverpool, World Cup quarterfinal They don’t make games like this anymore.

Cup semi final Apparently a great game. 44 REAL MADRID 0-5 FC BARCELONA 17 February 1974, Estadio Bernabeu, Primera Divison, matchday 22 One of the most memorable games in the history of Spanish league football. This “magic Sunday” is still well-remembered in the club annals of Barcelona and claimed to symbolize the breakdown of Franco’s absolutistic dictatorship. 43 BAYERN MUNICH 4-2 FC NUREMBERG 1 May 1982, Waldstadion, Frankfurt, German Cup final Bayern were trailing Bavarian rivals Nuremberg 0-2 at half-time but then staged a great comeback to win 4-2. The picture of bloody Dieter Hoeness at the start of this thread is taken from this game. 42 KARLSRUHE SC 7-0 FC VALENCIA 2 November 1993, Wildparkstadionm Karlsruhe, UEFA-Cup, second round, second leg Excuse me, but this was really an awesome game. 41 IVORY COAST 0-0 (11-10 pens) GHANA 6 January 1992, Stade de L’Amitie , Dakar, African Cup, final The mad penalty shoot-out alone makes this a worthy entry. 40 BORUSSIA MO"NCHENGLADBACH 12-0 BORUSSIA DORTMUND 29 April 1978, Rheinstadion, Du"sseldorf, Bundesliga, matchday 34 39 WEST GERMANY 2-1 HOLLAND 25 June 1990, Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Milano, World Cup, round of last 16 …or was it Inter vs. AC? When the two arch rivals stepped on the pitch that evening, the duel for many players and spectators had an ever more serious dimension. Brehme, Klinsmann and Mattha"us plying their trade for Internazionale at that time while Gullit, Rijkaard and van Basten kicked for the local rival Milan. Inter won 2-1 in one of the best yet most controversial games in World Cup history. 38 DORTMUND 11-1 BIELEFELD 6 November 1982, Westfalenstadion, Dortmund, Bundesliga, matchday 12 At half-time the score was still 1-1 … 37 LIVERPOOL FC 0-2 ARSENAL FC 26 May 1989, Anfield Road, Liverpool, First Division, matchday 32 The game had been postponed to the end of the season, due to the Hillsborough catastrophe in Sheffield, when 96 Liverpool fans died. Thus it came to a real showdown, Arsenal had to win at least 2-0 at Anfield to win their first title since 1971. Arsenal were up 1-0 seconds before the end of the game, then Michael Thomas scored the all-deciding second in the 92nd minute and Liverpool were toppled. “They kept their powder dry until it really mattered” said the BBC commentary. For Liverpool it was a nightmare. They had lost the championship and -- what hurt far more -- 96 supporters. 36 ARGENTINA 2-1 ENGLAND 22 June 1986, Azteca, Ciudad de Mexico, World Cup, quarterfinal It’s often a fine line between genius and madness. People had Diego Maradona down as a football criminal after he scored with his hand, but six minutes later he proved that he was more than a mere criminal. He was an ingenious criminal. 35 CELTIC 2-1 INTERNAZIONALE 25 May 1967, Estadio Nacional, Lisbon, European Cup final Celtic Simpson - Craig, W.McNeil, J.Clark, Gemmell -- Murdoch, Auld -- Johnstone, Wallace, Chalmers, Lennox Inter Sarti -- Burgnich, Guarneri, Picchi, Facchetti -- Bedin, A.Mazzola, Bicicli -- Domenghini, Cappellini, Corso Outside of Scotland, this European Cup final seems to be quite underrated. Not that it was such a high class game (well, it was), but because eleven low-brow home boys (only outside left Lennox was not born in Glasgow) overpowered a seemingly unbeatable opponent. Inter was at that time the best side in Europe. But blokes like Billy McNeil, Jimmy Johnstone or Tommy Gemmell refuted every cliche about Scottish football by wrestling Inter down with astoundingly civil means. Unforgettable the statement of one Celtic hero “They all looked like filmstars while some of our players had already gaps in their dentures.” And thus the spectators in Lisbon witnessed a collectively sacrificial game by the Celtic XI. Celtic became the first British winners of the European Cup that day. Until now, no other Scottish side has managed to equal the feat of the “Lisbon Lions”.

Michels had returned to the place of his bitterest humiliation and at the end celebrated his greatest triumph. The great highlight of this final is of course van Basten’s spectacular volley, arguably the finest goal ever scored in a major international final. 32 VfB STUTTGART 4-3 a.e.t.

They were still leading 3-0 after one hour. Then Rufer scored Bremen’s first goal 25 minutes from time. It looked like a mere consolation goal, nothing more… 29 BRAZIL 1-2 URUGUAY 16 June 1950, Estadio Jornalista Mario Filho (Maracana), Rio de Janeiro, World Cup final game Brazil Barbosa -- Augusto, Juvenal -- Bauer, Danilo, Bigode -- Friaca, Zizinho, Ademir, Jair, Chico Uruguay Maspoli -- M.Gonzales, Tejera -- Gambetta, Varela, Andrade II -- Ghiggia, Perez, Miguez, Schiaffino, Vidal Brazil’s national tragedy.

For these two clubs, it couldn’t get better than that. It was the ultimate contest for them to determine who was the top dog. After a marvellous game, Eintracht had decided the outcome in their favour but their road to glory was not over yet. A year later they would impress all of Europe and it took a legendary Real Madrid side to stop them from winning the biggest prize of all. 27 BAYERN MUNICH 3-4 HAMBURG SV 24 April 1982, Olympiastadion, Munich, Bundesliga, matchday 29 Bayern Junghans -- Beierlorzer, Weiner, Augenthaler, Horsmann -- Dremmler, Breitner, Du"rnberger, Kraus -- D.Hoeness, K.H.Rummenigge Hamburg Stein -- Kaltz, Hieronymus, D.Jakobs, Groh -- Hartwig, von Heesen, Magath, Wehmeyer -- Hrubesch, Bastrup This was Hamburg’s finest game ever in domestic league history, they were already down 1-3 in Munich to reigning champs Bayern but than managed an inspired comeback in the last 20 minutes that ultimately decided the championship race in Hamburg’s favor. More on that game here. 26 EVERTON FC 4-4 LIVERPOOL FC 20 February 1991, Goodison Park, Liverpool, F.A.

Four times Liverpool was in the lead, four times Everton managed to equalize. A rollercoaster for the fans. Radio commentator Jimmy Armfield remembers “I was looking around at the Evertonians around me and felt like I was at a funeral, then only few minutes later I felt like I was in a madhouse as Everton had again equalized.” Everton won the second game 1-0. 25 EINTRACHT FRANKFURT 5-1 FC KAISERSLAUTERN 29 May 1999, Waldstadion, Frankfurt, Bundesliga, matchday 34 Frankfurt Nikolov -- Janssen (86 Westerthaler) -- Bindewald, Kutschera, Zampach -- B.Schneider, Schur, Sobotzik, R.Weber -- Yang, Fjo"rtoft K’Lautern Reinke -- Ramzy -- Koch, Schjo"nberg -- Buck, Ratinho, Sforza, Riedl, M.Wagner -- Ro"sler, Marschall This game is only the tip of the iceberg of the Bundesliga’s most thrilling ever relegation finish. Here’s the complete story and time table how things developed during those 90 minutes in various stadia. 24 SWEDEN 2-5 BRAZIL 29 June 1958, Rasunda-Stadium, Stockholm, Sweden, World Cup final Sweden Svensson -- Bergmark, Axbom -- Bo"rjesson, Gustavsson, Parling -- Hamrin, Gren, Simonsson, Liedholm, Skoglund Brazil Gilmar -- D.Santos, Orlando, Bellini, N.Santos -- Zito, Didi -- Garrincha, Vava, Pele , Zagalo The game that founded the Brazilian hegemony in world football and the game that made 17-year old Pele the star of international football. Brazil also ignited a tactical revolution by introducing the 4-2-4 system at the world stage. 23 FC BARCELONA 4-3 (a.e.t.)

The team’s iron will to help Matt Busby finally win the European Cup was the foundation for Manchester’s fairytale comeback in the second half. Bill Foulkes scored his only ever goal in international competition in the second half. 21 CHELSEA FC 4-2 FC BARCELONA 8 March 2005, Stamford Bridge, London, Champions League, round of last 16, second leg Chelsea Cech -- Ferreria (51 Johnson), Carvalho, Terry, Gallas -- Makelele, J.Cole, Lampard, Duff (85 Huth) -- Kezman, Gudjohnsen (79 Tiago) Barca Valdes -- Belletti (84 Giuly), Puyol, Oleguer, van Bronckhorst (46 Sylvinho) -- Xavi, Gerard, Deco, Iniesta (86 Maxi Lopez) -- Ronaldinho, Eto’o You all remember that game. 20 BORUSSIA MO"NCHENGLADBACH 2-1 a.e.t.

At half-time Weisweiler told Netzer that he’d play in the second half, but Netzer refused. The score was still 1-1 after 90 minutes when Netzer decided that it was now time for him to enter the pitch for extra-time, he informed his coach coolly by saying nothing else than “now I’m playing”. Two minutes after subbing himself into the game, Netzer scored the game-winning goal with a left-footed strike that is still the stuff of legend in Germany. You can watch the first 6 minutes of that extra-time in this youtube video http //www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuxcFq_e6fg 19 SUNDERLAND FC 1-0 LEEDS UNITED 5 May 1973, Wembley stadium, London, F.A.

Cup final. Hardly has there ever been a more overwhelming favourite than Leeds in that game. Sunderland’s keeper Jimmy Montgomery pulled off one of the most amazing double saves in the history of the sport. You can check that here 18 BORUSSIA MO"NCHENGLADBACH 5-4 (a.e.t.)

It didn’t look like they could pull it off this time, as Germany’s most important players, those from Bayern Munich, were going through a crisis, having lost 1-5 at Cologne, 0-3 at Duisburg and 0-2 at Rangers in the weeks before this game. Then quite a number of important players of other clubs were missing due to injury, like Berti Vogts, Jupp Heynckes and Karl-Heinz Schnellinger. Thus overall there were very little hopes in Germany regarding this tie with England. One can imagine the joy and bliss felt throughout Germany while watching Germany unexpectedly take England apart in their own sacred Wembley stadium. 10 MANCHESTER UNITED 2-1 BAYERN MUNICH 26 May 1999, Nou Camp, Barcelona, Champions League final United Schmeichel -- G.Neville, Johnson, Stam, Irwin -- Beckham, Butt, Scholes, Blomquist (67 Sheringham), Giggs -- Yorke, A.Cole (81 Solskjaer) Bayern Kahn -- Mattha"us (80 Fink) -- Babbel, Linke, Kuffour -- Basler (89 Salihamidzic), Effenberg, Jeremies, Tarnat -- Jancker, Zickler (71 Scholl) Gregoriak is offline 9 ITALY 3-2 BRAZIL 5 July 1982, Estadio Sarria, Barcelona, World Cup second round Ita Zoff -- Gentile, Scirea, Collovati (34 Bergomi), Cabrini -- Tardelli (75 Marini), Antognoni, Oriali, Conti -- Graziani, Rossi Bra Valdir Peres -- Leandro, Oscar, Luizinho, Junior -- Cerezo, Socrates, Falcao, Zico -- Serginho (69 Paulo Isidoro), Eder High quality game, big hero Paolo Rossi, fallen superstars of Brazil. 8 REAL MADRID 7-3 EINTRACHT FRANKFURT 18 May 1960, Hampden Park, Glasgow, European Cup final Real Dominguez -- Marquitos, Pachin -- Vidal, Santamaria, Zarrago -- Canario, del Sol, di Ste fano, Puskas, Gento Eintracht Loy -- Lutz, Hofer -- Weilba"cher, Eigenbrodt, Stinka -- Kress, Lindner, Stein, Pfaff, Meier 134,000 spectators watched in awe how Real Madrid took apart a talented Eintracht side that had beaten Rangers 12-4 on aggregate in the semi final. The greatest European Cup final of all? The compilers of this countdown don’t think so… 7 LIVERPOOL FC 5-4 (a.e.t.) DEPORTIVO ALAVES 16 May 2001, Westfalenstadion, Dortmund, UEFA Cup final LFC Westerveld -- Babbel, Henchoz (56 Smicer), Hyypia", Carragher -- Gerrard, Hamann, McAllister, Murphy -- Heskey (65 Fowler), Owen (79 Berger) Alaves Herrera -- Contra, Eggen (23 Ivan Alonso), Karmona, Geli -- Tomic, Desio, Tellez, Astudilo (46 Magno Mocelin) -- Cruyff, Javi Moreno (65 Pablo) Remarkable score, considering that Liverpool had a very good defense that year, hardly ever conceding more than two goals. LFC were up 2-0 pretty fast and then possibly underestimated the Spaniards. They managed the equalizer in the 89th minute (4-4) and then even scored a goal in extra-time, which would have decided the game, but it was not given due to off-side. Then Alaves collected two sent-offs and Liverpool scored the golden 5-4 goal. In fact, it was Alaves that scored Liverpool’s goal. A heart-breaking own-goal! 6 WEST GERMANY 3-2 HUNGARY 4 July 1954, Wankdorf-Stadion, Bern, World Cup final Ger Turek -- Posipal, Kohlmeyer -- Eckel, Liebrich, Mai -- Rahn, Morlock, O.Walter, F.Walter, Scha"fer Hun Grosics -- Lantos, Buzansky -- Bozsik, Lorant, Zakarias -- Czibor, Kocsis, Hidegkuti, Puskas, M.Toth The most legendary game in German football history and one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history. 5 BORUSSIA MO"NCHENGLADBACH 7-1 INTERNAZIONALE 20 October 1971, Bo"kelberg, Mo"nchengladbach, European Cup second round, first leg B.M.G. Kleff -- Vogts, L.Mu"ller, Sieloff, Bleidick -- Bonhof, Netzer (83 Wittkamp), Kulik -- Wimmer, Heynckes, Le Fevre Inter Vieri (46 Bordon) -- Oriali, Giubertoni, Burgnich, Facchetti -- Fabbian, Bedin, A.Mazzola, Corso -- Boninsegna (28 Ghio), Jair A game not counted by UEFA due to a can thrown at Boninsegna by a Gladbach fan. If it had counted, it would have gone down as one of the greatest examples of offensive football crushing defensive football. Arguably the greatest performance by a German club side in a European game. The brilliant Gu"nter Netzer at the peak of his powers in command of a magnificently brilliant Mo"nchengladbach side. What a great game a European Cup final between Cruyff’s Ajax Amsterdam and Netzer’s Mo"nchengladbach could have been, but instead the catenaccio masters of Internazionale made it to the 1972 European Cup final where they were without a chance against Ajax. Mo"nchengladbach would have been a far more worthy opponent for Ajax and I’m pretty sure the two sides could have produced one of the finest spectacles of offensive football in the history of the sport. Too bad they never met. 4 FC SCHALKE 6-6 (a.e.t.) BAYERN MUNICH 2 May 1984, Parkstadion, Gelsenkirchen, German Cup semi final S.04 Junghans -- Kruse, Dietz, M.Jakobs, Schipper -- Opitz (106 Berge), Dierssen, Thon, Abramczik (73 Clute-Simon) -- Stichler, K.Ta"uber Bayern Pfaff -- Beierlorzer, Augenthaler, Grobe (109 Kraus), Pflu"gler -- Du"rnberger (77 D.Hoeness), Lerby, Mathy, Nachtweih -- K.H.Rummenigge, M.Rummenigge FC Schalke 04 was a second division side at the time of this legendary game. This game made young Olaf Thon an overnight sensation. This boy had just celebrated his 18th birthday the night before and would be the big star of this game, scoring not one, not two, but three goals against the overwhelming favorites from Munich. Just check the goal sequence to see what a brilliant match this was to be at 0-1 K.H.Rummenigge 3 0-2 Mathy 12 1-2 Kruse 13 2-2 Thon 19 2-3 M.Rummenigge 20 3-3 Thon 61 4-3 Stichler 72 4-4 M.Rummenigge 80 4-5 D.Hoeness 112 5-5 Dietz 115 5-6 D.Hoeness 118 6-6 Thon 120 What an utterly amazing game this was in front of 70,000 boiling spectators (it is available on tape for anyone interested). The tie had to be repeated, this time in Munich, Bayern won 3-2. 3 ITALY 4-3 (a.e.t.) WEST GERMANY 17 June 1970, Estadio Azteca, Mexico City, World Cup semi final Ita Albertosi -- Burgnich, Cera, Rosato (91 Poletti), Bertini, Facchetti -- Domenghini, de Sisti, A.Mazzola (46 Rivera) -- Boninsegna, Riva Ger Maier -- Vogts, Schnellinger, Schulz, Patzke (66 Held) -- Seeler, Beckenbauer, Overath -- Grabowski, G.Mu"ller, Lo"hr (52 Libuda) I assume most everyone checking out this thread has seen this game anyway, so no need for me write anything. 2 LIVERPOOL FC 3-3 (a.e.t.) AC MILAN 25 May 2005, Atatu"rk Stadium, Istanbul, Champions League Final LFC Dudek -- Finnan (46 Hamann), Traore, Hyypia", Carragher -- Riise, Gerrard, Luis Garcia, Xabi Alonso -- Kewell (23 Smicer), Baros (85 Cisse ) Milan Dida -- Cafu , Stam, Nesta, Maldini -- Seedorf (85 Serginho), Gattuso (112 Rui Costa), Pirlo, Kaka -- Shevchenko, Crespo (85 Tomasson) Still fresh in everyone’s memory I guess? 1 BAYER UERDINGEN 7-3 DYNAMO DRESDEN 19 March 1986, Grotenburg Kampfbahn, Krefeld, Cup Winners Cup quarterfinal, second leg Uerd. Vollack - Herget - Da"mgen, W Funkel - Buttgereit, Bommer, Feilzer, F Funkel, Raschid (52 Klinger) - Gudmundsson (72 Loontiens), Scha"fer Dynamo Jakubowski (46 Ramme) - Do"rner - Trautmann, Doschner - Minge, Ha"fner, Stubner, M Sammer (28 Gu"tschow), Pilz - Kirsten, Lippmann So here it is, the number one game of all time, according to "11 Freunde". Bayer Uerdingen won the German Cup in a 1985 upset against Bayern Munich. Here they were facing East German Cup winners Dynamo Dresden. Uerdingen had lost the first leg 0-2 at Dresden. At half-time of the second leg, Dynamo was up 3-1, or 5-1 on aggregate. Uerdingen now only needed to score five goals in the second 45 minutes to advance to the semi final. There were no signs early in the second half that such a miracle was about to happen. After one hour, the aggr. score was still 1-5. But then Bayer Uerdingen exploded. What followed were the greatest 30 minutes of all time? Maybe! 0-1 Minge 1 1-1 W Funkel 13 1-2 Lippmann 36 1-3 Bommer 41 own goal 2-3 W Funkel 58 penalty 3-3 Minge 62 own goal 4-3 Scha"fer 66 5-3 Klinger 78 6-3 W Funkel 81 penalty 7-3 Scha"fer 86

第５節 あの音に耳を傾けなさい。 若く無垢な者たちの奏でる音です。 神の子らのなかで、最も年少で最も純真な者たちです。 【天使の合唱（１）】 高い所（天）におられる最も神聖な人に賛美を、 そして深いところ（陰府）にも賛美がありますように。 この上なく素晴らしい全ての彼の言葉に、 このうえなく確かな全ての彼の道に。 彼は古い種族を我々に与えました、 戦って勝つために、 苦痛の罰を受けることなく、 罪に汚れることなく。 彼は若い息子に生誕の 不思議を行わせました。 神霊と人間が彼の両親。 天と地が彼の住まい。 永遠なる神は彼の子を祝福し、 武装させ、遠くに送り出しました。 根本的な戦いの 優勝者となるため、 物質と精神の世界の 総督となるために、 国境における、敵に対する、 堅固な守り（とするために。） 【天使】 我々はいま、門を過ぎ、 裁きの家の中に入りました。 and whereas earth Temples and palaces are formed of parts Costly and rare, but all material, So in the world of spirits nought is found, To mould withal and form into a whole, But what is immaterial; and thus The smallest portions of this edifice, Cornice, or frieze, or balustrade, or stair, The very pavement is made up of life— Of holy, blessed, and immortal beings, Who hymn their Maker’s praise continually. SECOND CHOIR OF ANGELICALS PRAISE to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise In all His words most wonderful; Most sure in all His ways! Woe to thee, man! for he was found A recreant in the fight; And lost his heritage of heaven, And fellowship with light. Above him now the angry sky, Around the tempest’s din; Who once had angels for his friends, Had but the brutes for kin, O man! a savage kindred they; To flee that monster brood He scaled the seaside cave, and clomb The giants of the wood. With now a fear, and now a hope, With aids which chance supplied, From youth to eld, from sire to son, He lived, and toiled, and died, He dreed his penance age by age; And step by step began Slowly to doff his savage garb, And be again a man. And quickened by the Almighty’s breath, And chastened by His rod, And taught by Angel-visitings, At length he sought his God And learned to call upon His name, And in His faith create A household and a fatherland, A city and a state. Glory to Him who from the mire, In patient length of days, Elaborated into life A people to His praise! 【魂】 あの音は勢い良く吹く風のようですが。 高い松の木々の間を吹き抜ける夏の風のようです Swelling and dying, echoing round about, Now here, now distant, wild and beautiful; While, scattered from the branches it has stirred, Descend ecstatic odours. 【天使の合唱（３）】 PRAISE to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise In all His words most wonderful; Most sure in all His ways! The Angels, as beseemingly To spirit-kind was given, At once were tried and perfected, And took their seats in heaven. For them no twilight or eclipse; No growth and no decay ‘Twas hopeless, all-ingulfing night, Or beatific day. But to the younger race there rose A hope upon its fall; And slowly, surely, gracefully, The morning dawned on all. And ages, opening out, divide The precious and the base, And from the hard and sullen mass, Mature the heirs of grace. O man! albeit the quickening ray, Lit from his second birth, Makes him at length what once he was, And heaven grows out of earth; Yet still between that earth and heaven— His journey and his goal— A double agony awaits His body and his soul. A double debt he has to pay— The forfeit of his sins The chill of death is past, and now The penance-fire begins. いつも真実と正義で統治する彼に 栄光がありますように。 彼は魂をその容器から引き離し、 その汚れを焼き払います。 【天使】 彼らは、あなたが近づきつつある苦悩を歌っているのです、 あなたが熱心に質問をした（苦悩を）。 It is the face of the Incarnate God Shall smite thee with that keen and subtle pain; And yet the memory which it leaves will be A sovereign febrifuge to heal the wound; And yet withal it will the wound provoke, And aggravate and widen it the more. SOUL THOU speakest mysteries; still methinks I know To disengage the tangle of thy words Yet rather would I hear thy angel voice, Than for myself be thy interpreter. ANGEL WHEN then—if such thy lot—thou seest thy Judge, The sight of Him will kindle in thy heart, All tender, gracious, reverential thoughts. Thou wilt be sick with love, and yearn for Him, And feel as though thou couldst but pity Him, That one so sweet should e’er have placed Himself At disadvantage such, as to be used So vilely by a being so vile as thee. There is a pleading in His pensive eyes Will pierce thee to the quick, and trouble thee. And thou wilt hate and loathe thyself; for, though Now sinless, thou wilt feel that thou hast sinned, As never thou didst feel; and wilt desire To slink away, and hide thee from His sight; And yet wilt have a longing aye to dwell Within the beauty of His countenance. And these two pains, so counter and so keen,— The longing for Him, when thou seest Him not; The shame of self at thought of seeing Him,— Will be thy veriest, sharpest purgatory. 【魂】 私の魂は私の手中にあります。恐れはありません。 In His dear might prepared for weal or woe. しかし、耳を傾けなさい、堂々とした神秘的な和音を。 それは深く荘厳な水音のように 私を満たします。 ANGEL We have gained the stairs Which rise towards the Presence-chamber; there A band of mighty angels keep the way On dither side, and hymn the Incarnate God. ANGELS OF THE SACRED STAIR FATHER, whose goodness none can know, but they Who see Thee face to face, By man hath come the infinite display Of Thine all-loving grace; But fallen man—the creature of a day— Skills not that love to trace. It needs, to tell the triumph Thou hast wrought, An Angel’s deathless fire, an Angel’s reach of thought. It needs that very Angel, who with awe, Amid the garden shade, The great Creator in His sickness saw, Soothed by a creature’s aid, And agonised, as victim of the Law Which He Himself had made; For who can praise Him in His depth and height, But he who saw Him reel in that victorious fight? SOUL HARK! for the lintels of the presence-gate Are vibrating and echoing back the strain FOURTH CHOIR OF ANGELICALS PRAISE to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise In all His words most wonderful; Most sure in all His ways! The foe blasphemed the Holy Lord As if He reckoned ill, In that He placed His puppet man The frontier place to fill. For even in his best estate, With amplest gifts endued, A sorry sentinel was he, A being of flesh and blood. As though a thing, who for his help Must needs possess a wife, Could cope with those proud rebel hosts, Who had angelic life. And when, by blandishment of Eve, That earth-born Adam fell, He shrieked in triumph, and he cried, “A sorry sentinel; “The Maker by His word is bound, Escape or cure is none; He must abandon to his doom, And slay His darling son.” ANGEL さあ、敷居です。我々がそれを横切ると、 堂々とした歓迎の聖歌が始まります。 【天使の合唱（５）】 高い所（天）におられる最も神聖な人に賛美を、 そして深いところ（陰府）にも賛美がありますように。 この上なく素晴らしい全ての彼の言葉に、 このうえなく確かな全ての彼の道に。 愛情に満ちた我々の神の英知！ 全てが罪悪と恥辱の時に、 戦いと救出のために 第二のアダム（イエス）がやって来ました。 この上なく賢明な愛よ。 アダムにおいて失敗した血肉は、 再び敵と戦うでしょう、 戦って打ち勝つでしょう。 そして慈悲よりさらに高潔な贈り物が 血肉を純化するでしょう、 神の存在、神そのもの、 そして神聖なる本質が。 寛容な慈愛よ。人の内なる敵を 人のために打ち負かした者は、 人の内なる苦悩の倍の量を 人のために経験するでしょう。 そして庭園で内密に、 高い所の十字架で、 彼の同志に教えるでしょう、 苦痛を受けて死ぬことを。 FIFTH PHASE …Hark to those sounds! They come of tender beings angelical, Least and most childlike of the sons of God. FIRST CHOIR OF ANGELICALS PRAISE to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise In all His words most wonderful; Most sure in all His ways! To us His elder race He gave To battle and to win, Without the chastisement of pain, Without the soil of sin. The younger son He willed to be A marvel in his birth Spirit and flesh his parents were; His home was heaven and earth. The Eternal blessed His child, and armed, And sent him hence afar, To serve as champion in the field Of elemental war. To be His Viceroy in the world Of matter, and of sense; Upon the frontier, towards the foe, A resolute defence. ANGEL WE now have passed the gate, and Are within the House of Judgment; and whereas earth Temples and palaces are formed of parts Costly and rare, but all material, So in the world of spirits nought is found, To mould withal and form into a whole, But what is immaterial; and thus The smallest portions of this edifice, Cornice, or frieze, or balustrade, or stair, The very pavement is made up of life— Of holy, blessed, and immortal beings, Who hymn their Maker’s praise continually. SECOND CHOIR OF ANGELICALS PRAISE to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise In all His words most wonderful; Most sure in all His ways! Woe to thee, man! for he was found A recreant in the fight; And lost his heritage of heaven, And fellowship with light. Above him now the angry sky, Around the tempest’s din; Who once had angels for his friends, Had but the brutes for kin, O man! a savage kindred they; To flee that monster brood He scaled the seaside cave, and clomb The giants of the wood.

And quickened by the Almighty’s breath, And chastened by His rod, And taught by Angel-visitings, At length he sought his God And learned to call upon His name, And in His faith create A household and a fatherland, A city and a state. Glory to Him who from the mire, In patient length of days, Elaborated into life A people to His praise! SOUL THE sound is like the rushing of the wind— The summer wind among the lofty pines; Swelling and dying, echoing round about, Now here, now distant, wild and beautiful; While, scattered from the branches it has stirred, Descend ecstatic odours. THIRD CHOIR OF ANGELICALS PRAISE to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise In all His words most wonderful; Most sure in all His ways! The Angels, as beseemingly To spirit-kind was given, At once were tried and perfected, And took their seats in heaven. For them no twilight or eclipse; No growth and no decay ‘Twas hopeless, all-ingulfing night, Or beatific day.

A double debt he has to pay— The forfeit of his sins The chill of death is past, and now The penance-fire begins. Glory to Him, who evermore By truth and justice reigns; Who tears the soul from out its case, And burns away its stains! ANGEL THEY sing of thy approaching agony, Which thou so eagerly didst question of It is the face of the Incarnate God Shall smite thee with that keen and subtle pain; And yet the memory which it leaves will be A sovereign febrifuge to heal the wound; And yet withal it will the wound provoke, And aggravate and widen it the more. SOUL THOU speakest mysteries; still methinks I know To disengage the tangle of thy words Yet rather would I hear thy angel voice, Than for myself be thy interpreter. ANGEL WHEN then—if such thy lot—thou seest thy Judge, The sight of Him will kindle in thy heart, All tender, gracious, reverential thoughts.

SOUL MY soul is in my hand I have no fear,— In His dear might prepared for weal or woe. But hark! a grand mysterious harmony It floods me, like the deep and solemn sound Of many waters. ANGEL We have gained the stairs Which rise towards the Presence-chamber; there A band of mighty angels keep the way On dither side, and hymn the Incarnate God. ANGELS OF THE SACRED STAIR FATHER, whose goodness none can know, but they Who see Thee face to face, By man hath come the infinite display Of Thine all-loving grace; But fallen man—the creature of a day— Skills not that love to trace.

FIFTH CHOIR or ANGELICALS PRAISE to the Holiest in the height, I And in the depth be praise In all His words most wonderful; Most sure in all His ways! O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame, A second Adam to the fight And to the rescue came. O wisest love that flesh and blood Which did in Adam fail, Should strive afresh against the foe, Should strive and should prevail; And that a higher gift than grace Should flesh and blood refine, God’s Presence and His very Self; And Essence all divine. O generous love! that He who smote In man for man the foe, The double agony in man For man should undergo; And in the garden secretly, And on the cross on high, Should teach His brethren and inspire To suffer and to die.
