Best soccer game I've ever seen:
On TV: USA Men over Brazil in a Gold Cup tournament game. Kasey Keller stood on his head in goal and even got a handshake from Romario after one of his saves. Preki scored the only goal of the game when he used his famous cut back move to free himself for a 20 yard shot and the USA beat Brazil for the first and still only time 1-0 at the Coliseum in LA.
In Person: 17 matches at the 1994 World Cup in the USA including the Brazil versus Holland game in Dallas that ended 3-2 to Brazil. Soccer Bowl 1982 when the Chicago Sting beat the New York Cosmos in a shootout up in Toronto for the first of their 2 NASL Championships. Thanks to my parents for letting me take a bus up to Toronto for the game.
