Top of the Tops !!

Top Matches : (in order they were played)

Germany Vs. Costa Rica (4-2) :
The best opening match EVER !! it was a thriller , a roller coaster ride , a perfect way to kick off things.

Italy Vs. USA (1-1)
Crazy Match No. 1

Sweden Vs. England (2-2)
One of the best goals, Late drama, End to end stuff, Joy to watch for the nuetrals.

Argentina Vs. Mexico (2-1)(ET)
Argentina had to sweat it out against a bold Mexican team , it took one of the best world cup goals ever by Rodriguez to finally jump the mexican hurdle !

Portugal Vs. Holland (1-0)
Crazy Match No. 2

Spain Vs. France (1-3)
A brilliant come-from-behind victory by France, Heartbreak for the underachieving Spanish. The ageing French superstars announced their arrival led by Zizou !!


Top Goals :

Torsten Frings Vs. Costa Rica , 4-2
A stunning unstoppable 40 yard drive was a joy to watch. The 87th minute strike also took off the pressure and put the game beyond Costa's reach.



Cambiasso Vs. Serbia , 2-0
A mersemerising 24 pass move by the argentines saw one of the best ever team goals in world cup finals, brilliant one touch football before Crespo's cunning backheel proved to be the killer pass that Cambiasso finished off.


Joe Cole Vs. Sweden , 1-0
A breathtaking 30 yard , diagonal volley from the young england star looped over as the goalkeeper stretched as fr as humanly possible only to brush the ball which went into the top-right corner. UNSTOPPABLE !!

Maxi Rodriguez Vs. Mexico , 2-1 (ET)
This has got to be the best Goal , not just quality wise but also because of the context in which it was scored. 8th minute of extra time and both teams were too tired to create anything when suddenly the genius in Rodriguez took over as he chested a lose ball and let in a scorcher from the corner of the penalty box and the whole world missed a heart beat as they saw the ball loop in over the goalkeeper's stretched hands in to the top left corner of the goal.
