Best Sporting Event of the Decade (Voting end 2/1)

[forbes]

• Last matchday of the 11/12 Premier League season; May 13th, 2012; Manchester City beat QPR 3 - 2, Sergio Agüero scoring 90+4', winning Man City the league.

Last 8 minutes of the game

• 2nd leg of the Champions League Semi-final of the 18/19 season; May 7th, 2019; Liverpool beat Barcelona 4 - 0 at Anfield, after losing 3 - 0 to Barcelona in Camp Nou in the first leg. Liverpool went on to win the Final.

• 1st leg of the Champions League Quarter-final of the 17/18 season; April 3rd, 2018; Real Madrid beat Juventus 3 - 1 at Lo Stadium (a notoriously tough stadium), Cristiano Ronaldo scored a ridiculous bicycle kick goal against Buffon and the Juventus fans gave Ronaldo a standing ovation. Real Madrid went on to win the Final, their record 13th title.

• La Liga Matchday 13 of the 10/11 season; November 29th, 2010; Barcelona trash Real Madrid 5 - 0, the midfield trio of Iniesta, Xavi and Sergio Busquets were dictating play, Lionel Messi in his new "false nine" role was creating havoc. It was a Pep Guardiola masterclass.

• Africa Cup of Nations Final 2012; February 12th, 2012; Zambia beat Côte d'Ivoire 8-7 on penalties after drawing 0 - 0 in regulation, the game itself wasn't anything special, it was the events surrounding it. The final was being held at a site near the 1993 Zambian national team plane crash, so it was emotional for everybody.

• European Championship Final 2012; July 1st, 2012; Spain outlcass Italy 4 - 0, this was the cherry on top for probably one of the greatest soccer teams to have ever existed. If you ever doubted they were the best, this game was your answer.

To me, it’s gotta be the Falcons/Patriots SB.

Biggest most shocking SB comeback ever, by far. Only SB to ever go to OT. An all time great clutch catch by Julian Edelman. Tom Brady being the first QB to get 5 rings and cementing his status as GOAT.

Golden State vs. Cavs Game 7 has got to be it.


The back-and-forth drama of the game all the way through
The first ever 3-1 lead to be given up in a Finals
The fact that the winningest team in bball history gave up that lead and became the first ever 70+ win team to be beaten
The game going down to the wire
LeBron's block becoming the most famous block in NBA history
Kyrie's shot
That it was all revenge for the loss the previous year

And having ALL of that have to happen for Cleveland to get their first championship ever

Not to mention all the narratives that it added to LeBron's career, Steph's career, the way Draymond called KD from the fukking parking lot on the way out and how that changed the scope of the NBA for the next three years....nothing had an impact like that game.
