Good choices. I'm just not sure about one or another, but I guess it is just a matter of personal tast (when it come to goals specially).
Greatest goals: I love Maradona's and Van Basten's goals. They re just works of art indeed. But I wouldn't have included MAradona's goal against Belgium (1986) and I'm not sure about Carlos Alberto's goal on the 1970's finals (the shot and the goal itself weren't so great...), but I can understand their inclusion. Messi'a goal was a great goal, but would it have been included hadn't it been scored just a short time ago? I'm not sure... I would have loved to see Zico's goal in Japan, but I just can't find a good quality video to share with you guys. Here go a poor quality one (the one I could find in a quick searh in You Tube) - it's the second goal in the video
Greatest teams: I would have included Santos (1960s) with Pele and others. Maybe in the top 20. They were just amazing.
It would be kind of interesting to make a list of the greatest nearly scored goals, the ones that for some inexplicable unbalance in the universe, for a trick of fate, didn't get in. In this case I would most certainly rate Pele vs Urugay in 1970 as the greatest one (and I still think it should be included in the greatest goals list nevertheless. It was so great that it should be counted as a goal...  check it out: Pele vs Urugay 1970
