| Top Ten Game 3rd Degree would have liked to have seen in person. | ||
| 1 | 1970 World Cup Final | Pele’s wins his 3rd World Cup, Brazil 4 Italy 1. |
| 2 | 1st European Cup | June 13, 1956, 1st of 5 straight for Real. Real Madrid CF 4-3 Stade de Reims-Champagne, Parc des Princes, Paris |
| 3 | USA vs. England | 1950 World Cup: USA 1 England 0. Perhaps the greatest upset in World Cup History. 6/29/50 |
| 4 | 1974 Dutch | The Clockwork Orange at its peak, Any of the Final Round games really. 4-0 over Argentina might be the first choice. |
| 5 | Allies vs Germany 1944 | The French crowd singing French National Anthem, while awaiting the PK after time had run out stirs the heart. And what grit by Pele, playing with broken ribs. |

| 7 | Inter vs. Benfica | 5/27/65. Inter win the European Cup. (My third favorite team) Internazionale FC 1-0 SL Benfica, Meazza stadium, Milan. |
| 8 | 1930 World Cup | The three USA games of 1930: 3-0 over Belgium or 3-0 over Paraguay, or the 6-1 loss to Argentina in the Semifinal. |
| 9 | 1954 Final | The Magical Magyars [unbeaten from May 1950; 31 games: 27 wins and 4 draws] which includes Ferenc Puskas, Jozsef Boszik and Sandor Kocsis, lose 3-2 to Germany. |
| 10 | Inaugural MLS Cup | Oh yeah! I was there. Nah ha… Sitting between team benches at the touchline officials’ table for the first cup was a little wet… but well worth it. |
