Topic: Goal of the Century


  
  Goal of the Century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Goal of the Century, also known as "Greatest Goal in FIFA World Cup History", was an award given for the greatest goal ever scored in a FIFA World Cup finals.
The winning goal was the second goal by Diego Maradona in the 1986 FIFA World Cup quarter-final match, for Argentina against England on June 22, 1986, at the Azteca stadium, Mexico City; it came shortly after Maradona's infamous Hand of God goal.
On the goal, English striker Gary Lineker said "[it was] probably the one and only time in my whole career I felt like applauding the opposition scoring a goal."[3] Lineker scored the only English goal of that match.

 Ronaldinho one goal off half century   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Ronaldinho's goal against Werder Bremen means he's now the leading scorer in the Champions League on 5 goals, one ahead of Trezeguet of Juventus, who failed to get onto the score sheet against Bruges last night.
Add that to last Saturday's goals in the win against Madrid, the classification for the next round of the Champions and the chance to make it 50 goals on Sunday and this could be a great week for the magic Brazilian.
That was another great goal, but really just the aperitif for last Saturday's exhibition when he scored two of the most memorable goals seen on the ground in yet another show of strength, skill and speed.

But it is precisely in the sphere of education that the twenty-first century is inferior to the oligarchical, class-divided, slave-holding, poverty ridden societies of the past, in which the possibility of making a good life was open only to the very few.
In the course of the centuries, human institutions have been greatly improved, and they might be further improved without limit, as William Graham Sumner once remarked, were it not for folly and vice.
Twenty-first century America has no monopoly on folly and vice, nor do the critics of the twentieth century have a monopoly on conscience-stricken reactions to human folly and vice.
