O Campeonato da Europa de futebol australiano decorre em Hamburgo (Alemanha) mas a maioria dos cidadãos do Velho Continente nunca ouviu falar nessa "estranha" modalidade que parece uma mistura de râguebi e futebol. Em competição estão inscritas as selecções da Espanha e Catalunha, Inglaterra, Bélgica, Finlândia, República Checa, França, Alemanha, Holanda, Alemanha, Áustria e Suécia. O futebol australiano, também chamado aussie rules, é uma modalidade desportiva largamente praticada na Austrália e divide com o râgeubi as atenções dos adeptos de desporto australianos. Trata-se de uma modalidade de forte contacto físico com origem no século XIX, em Melbourne. As regras do jogo foram regulamentadas em 1859, porém a primeira partida foi disputada um ano antes com regras improvisadas. As suas origens derivam em parte do futebol gaélico e em parte do râguebi. Em 1877, no estado de Victoria, foi organizada a Victorian Football Association com 12 equipas e em 1897, sempre no mesmo estado, foi criada a Victorian Football League com oito clubes. A Australian Football League surgiu em 1989 após a adesão de formações de outros estados
Ser um dos melhores do Mundo é mesmo assim. Muito brilhantismo, as luzes da ribalta sempre a incidir forte e pouca paz. Desta vez, Cristiano Ronaldo está a contas com a justiça inglesa, depois de um adepto do Everton ter apresentado queixa formal na Polícia de Liverpool, por ter sido, alegadamente, pontapeado pelo extremo dos red devils. O caso remonta ao fim-de-semana passado, durante o embate do Manchester United com os toffees, em Goodison Park, de onde os pupilos de Sir Alex Ferguson saíram vencedores, por 1-0. Carl Lloyd, um carpinteiro de 34 anos, explicou ao “Daily Post” as circunstâncias em que o incidente aconteceu, assinalando que quando se preparava para apanhar a bola de jogo junto a um painel publicitário para a repor em jogo, foi atingido pelos pitons da bota do número 7. “Nem queria acreditar no que estava a acontecer e não entendo a atitude dele. Apenas queria segurar a bola para a devolver”, explicou ao diário britânico. De acordo com o queixoso, as dores no braço direito são “insuportáveis” e obrigaram-no a “ir ao hospital”, afirmando que não deverá regressar ao trabalho “tão cedo”. Um porta-voz das autoridades de Merseyside, condado da cidade dos Beatles, confirmou que Carl Lloyd apresentou uma queixa formal contra o atleta, advertindo que a investigação preliminar vai seguir, com recolha de depoimentos e os essenciais exames às gravações das câmaras de segurança do estádio do Everton.
Foi publicado um estudo nos EUA onde uma em cada três pessoas afirmou que prefere navegar na Internet em vez de estar com os amigos ou fazer sexo. De acordo com o mesmo estudo, apenas um quinto dos entrevistados responde conseguir passar uma semana ser aceder à Rede O inquérito foi realizado pela agência publicitária JWT junto de mais de mil adultos norte-americanos e revelou que a maioria já não consegue passar uma semana sem ir à Internet. Quando questionados sobre quanto tempo conseguiam estar «desligados», 15 por cento responderam um dia ou menos, 21 por cento dois dias e 19 por cento afirmaram alguns dias. À Reuters Ann Mack, responsável pelo estudo, afirmou que «as pessoas disseram-nos quão ansiosas, isoladas e entediadas se sentem quando são forçadas a ficar offline». Outras conclusões apontaram para 28 por cento a percentagem de inquiridos que refere que está a passar menos tempo em relações pessoais por causa da Internet, o mesmo acontecendo com 20 por cento dos indivíduos que responderam que diminuíram a actividade sexual à conta da Web. A responsável acredita que «a Internet está a arranjar espaço entre as actividades offline, como sexo, relacionamentos pessoais e entre o tempo que as pessoas passavam a ver TV e ler jornais e revistas», algo que não deve deixar os seus «parceiros muito felizes», conclui.
TWO of the five escort girls who romped with Cristiano Ronaldo and his Man Utd pals have ripped the pants off what REALLY happens when a team of cheap hookers tackles a multi-million pound midfield.
Tyese Cunningham and Gemma Storey revealed how they teased £120,000-a-week Ronaldo and fellow stars £14m Nani and £17m Anderson with Tesco's finest sexy knickers.
Then they dropped their defences and let the soccer aces score at will.
As they slipped in and out of Ronaldo's pool and Jacuzzi, the girls had an orgy all through the night... stopping only for breathers and fags on the World Cup winker's expensive cream sofa.
"It was huge and L-shaped. I couldn't believe I was there," said 18-year-old Tyese. "I felt like a WAG!"
But WAG stood for What A Git she thought Ron was - after counting the gate money at the end of the lust match... just £2,900 for all five girls which wouldn't cover a footballer's champagne bill in a nightclub.
"They made me feel cheap," she moaned. "I've slept with about 200 clients and I've never been treated with such little respect. They didn't care about our feelings. They didn't even talk. They just moved our bodies into the right positions."
Her feelings were far from her mind however when she got the call from McKenzie's escort agency in Leeds — 60 miles from Manchester where Ronaldo and his pals wanted to celebrate Man Utd's first win of the season against Spurs last week.
"I'd just been with a client so I said I was going out with friends," said the 34E beauty of Jamaican descent.
"But when she told me it was footballers I cancelled my mates!
"I put on a blue and gold mini dress and some really sexy black and white underwear from Tesco's which showed off my boobs brilliantly."
Gemma, 20, went a little more upmarket with her knickers seeing as how it was footballers.
She disclosed: "They were from Debenhams. I wanted to look my best.
"Our boss said if we gave them a good time they'd book us again."
Along with pals Hannah, Julia and Brandy-Lee they went most of the way in a cab before a Merc, driven by "a fat bloke", took them the rest of the way to Ronaldo's home.
Tyese chipped in: "We turned through some gates up to an amazing house. The fat bloke ushered us through the door then said, ‘Which of you is Hannah?' She was the one with the credit card machine."
They went into the living room where Brazilian Anderson, 19, kissed them all on the cheek as Ronaldo — who has an on-off relationship with Hollyoaks beauty Gemma Atkinson — sat on the sofa smiling.
Tyese added: "Then a man I later found out was Nani came in wearing only boxer shorts, swaggering about saying, ‘I am hot, I am hot'. I knew this wasn't going to be simple sex."
The girls were told to help themselves to vodka and Red Bulls. Gemma said: "The only guy I recognised was Ronaldo. I quite fancied him so I asked him, ‘Have you got a pool?'
Soon Tyese and Gemma were in there naked with Ronaldo and Nani. Tyese said: "I knew Nani liked me so I made a beeline for him. We started kissing but I don't think he really gave a s**t about me. He just wanted sex.
"I put my legs around his waist as we kissed and I saw Gemma was kissing Ronaldo. Then Ronaldo turned to me and said, ‘Kiss her'."
When Gemma and Tyese started snogging, Ronaldo rose to the occasion, pulled Gemma out of the pool and took her into the shower room.
Tyese said: "She was having fun, I could hear her screaming!".
Gemma was coming to terms with the Portuguese player's prowess. She said: "He was well endowed. He turned me round and pushed me against the wall.
"Then I was on top of him on a bench. Then we did it over the loo. I had to have a shower to cool down."
Meanwhile Tyese had Nani, 20, in a state in the steam room. She giggled: "It was boiling hot! I remember he had an odd shaped manhood. It lasted four or five minutes. It was so hot it was awful."
Ronaldo and Nani strolled off for half-time so the girls got dressed.
Tyese said: "We had a fag and some vodka. Then we had a snoop into the house. It was funny because all the pictures had been turned around so no one could see them."
After topping up their drinks the girls stripped and dipped back into the empty pool. Then their on-the-game took a turn for the worst.
Tyese said: "Suddenly the man who drove us there came back through in just his boxers. He was awful, fat and bald and he got into the pool. He took Gemma's out and towards the door. She turned to me, pleading for me to come too. But I said No.
"I went to the living room and was on my own for about 20 minutes laid on Ronaldo's sofa drinking Smirnoff and watching TV. It was so amazing. Then Hannah came downstairs and joined me.
"She said, 'I can't believe we are here. I am so shagging Ronaldo before I leave'. I said, ‘Snap!'.
"Then I heard Gemma shouting my name. I knew she wanted me to rescue her from the fat bloke so I laid on the floor and when she came down she couldn't see me.
"The fat man came down and dragged her back upstairs. About ten minutes later Brandy-Lee came down and joined me for a fag outside.
"Then the fat man returned and said he wanted a turn with me. I said, ‘After my fag'. So I smoked mine and then some of Brandy Lee's to prolong it."
But there was no escape. The man took Tyese upstairs to a bedroom and the inevitable happened.
She explained: "After a few minutes I told him I needed a drink. I put my clothes on, ran downstairs and met Gemma for a fag outside."
Ronaldo and Nani were there. "We started talking about bums for some reason and I started feeling Ronaldo's.
"It was great, juicy and big and then he felt my bum. He obviously liked it because he got my hand and led me through to the pool room.
"I thought, ‘This is it, this is where I get to have sex with Ronaldo!'
"He got my dress and lifted it up over my head. I slipped off my knickers. We got into the jacuzzi and he sat down and pulled me onto him.
"We were there for about five or six minutes but he didn't speak to me at all. After a bit he obviously had enough and climbed out. We were being paid to be there but he didn't treat me with an ounce of respect. I put my clothes back on and went for a fag."
Next it was Anderson's turn. "He came on to me and took me into the pool room," said Tyese.
"I liked him. He didn't just treat me like a piece of meat. He was the best endowed too. I put my legs around his waist and we had sex. He kissed me afterwards. I didn't feel cheap with him."
Soon Tyese and Gemma were back in the pool — this time with Nani, Anderson and Ronaldo. "I was kissing Gemma and all the boys and she was kissing me and them too," said Tyese.
"One of the blokes was pleasuring me but I don't know which one. Then her heart sank as the fat man got in too.
"Ronaldo said something to him. He turned to me and Gemma and said, ‘Get out, I want you to have oral sex'.
"So we did and the blokes watched. Ronaldo got out of the pool and pleasured himself. Anderson was perched on the side and Nani was stood over us. They were all watching us."
The lesbian romp signalled the final whistle and Ronaldo went to bed. They had been at it for four hours.
"The fat man said, ‘get your things and leave'. He treated us like s**t. He called a friend of his who drove us home," said Tyese. "I thought having sex with three Manchester United stars would be like a dream come true.
"But I realise now that being a WAG is not all it seems cracked up to be if this is the way they all behave.
"My previous customers have always been polite. But these men had no morals."
A mulher do ex-capitão benfiquista Simão Sabrosa engrossou a lista de vítimas do fenómeno de carjacking. Tudo aconteceu na tarde da passada sexta-feira, no centro de Madrid, onde agora o marido vive, após ter sido contratado pelo Atlético de Madrid. Filipa ficou sem o Bentley Continental GT, avaliado em 250 mil euros, após ter sofrido um toque de outro veículo. Surpreendida, saiu do carro e, sem tempo de reacção, viu o seu carro desaparecer nas mãos de dois desconhecidos de cara destapada. No interior, Filipa tinha documentos pessoais, dos filhos, Mariana e Martim, e também cartões bancários. Num país que não é o seu - apesar de já ter vivido em Barcelona, quando Simão representou a equipa blaugrana -, a mulher do jogador não hesitou em telefonar para o marido e para a Polícia que, de imediato, mobilizou meios para tentar encontrar o veículo e os assaltantes. Ao contrário do que as autoridades suspeitavam, o valioso Bentley não caiu nas mãos de uma rede de tráfico internacional, aparecendo, anteontem, num subúrbio da capital espanhola. O bólide apresentava danos na parte frontal e a traseira amassada. Por identificar estão os autores do assalto. O Bentley, igual ao de Sabrosa, é um modelo cobiçado. E até Cristiano Ronaldo e Sérgio Conceição têm um Continental GT. Filipa Sabrosa encontra-se em Madrid apesar de, para já, não ser sua intenção ficar lá a viver, dado que a filha entra este ano para a escola.
Face aos acontecimentos ocorridos no jogo entre o Leixões e o Vitória Sport Clube, realizado no passado Sábado no Estádio do Mar, jogo esse de apresentação do Leixões aos seus sócios, a Direcção do Vitória entende ser este o momento para tomar uma posição responsável e ponderada ao sucedido. Antes de mais, a Direcção do Vitória Sport Clube enaltece o comportamento de todos os vitorianos presentes no Estádio do Mar em Matosinhos que dignificaram o nosso Clube através de um comportamento irrepreensível, urbano e de grande carácter, demonstrando assim que a grandiosidade deste Clube começa e acaba nos seus sócios. O Vitória S. C. repudia veementemente o ocorrido no Estádio do Leixões, qualificando os actos praticados contra os vitorianos de bárbaros e criminosos. Tanto assim é, que a Direcção do Vitória Sport Clube exige às autoridades competentes a instauração de procedimento criminal contra os responsáveis sendo que se irá constituir assistente nesse processo, de forma a exigir a punição de todos os que directa ou indirectamente participaram em tais actos criminosos. Importa ainda deixar bem claro aos Vitorianos que a determinação do Presidente do Vitória, de não manter a sua decisão de abandonar o jogo ao intervalo, se deveu ao seguinte:
- A Administração da SAD do Leixões ter prontamente tomado uma posição firme de repudio contra aqueles que falsamente se identificavam como adeptos de futebol, manifestando ainda total solidariedade para com o Vitória Sport Clube, quer para com a sua equipa quer para com os vitorianos presentes no Estádio do Mar;
- A Direcção do Vitória Sport Clube, após ter ponderado que apenas e tão só em respeito pelo desporto e em especial por aquilo que deve ser sempre o futebol, não iria contribuir para o que viria a ser uma das maiores vergonhas do futebol português, que poderiam certamente ter repercussões negativas além fronteiras.
Por último, a Direcção do Vitória Sport Clube exige que a SAD do Leixões receba os Vitorianos, na 3ª. Jornada da Liga Bwin, com dignidade, elevado respeito, cortesia e acima de tudo MÁXIMA SEGURANÇA.
Guimarães, 30 de Julho de 2007 A Direcção do Vitória Sport Clube
50 Iain Dunn - HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 3 Lincoln City 2, Auto Windscreens Shield, 1994. Even the keenest Terriers fan might be hard-pushed to recall Dunn's strike, but it claims an important niche in history as the first golden goal to settle a British cup game. Dunn was handed a gold (coloured) football to mark the occasion.
49 Peter Osgood - CHELSEA 2 Leeds 1, FA Cup Final replay, 1970. Ossie makes the list for two reasons. His opening goal helped win the Cup for Chelsea in one of the nastiest sporting duels of recent times. And it made him the most recent player to score in every round.
48 Ruud van Nistelrooy - Newcastle 1 MANCHESTER UNITED 2, Premiership, 2003. The Old Trafford outcast made it into the record books by scoring in his eleventh consecutive league match.
47 Bobby Charlton - Colombia 0 ENGLAND 4, friendly international, 1970. It was the comb-over king's 49th and last goal for England, setting a mark that has yet to be equalled.
46 Oliver Bierhoff - Czech Republic 1 GERMANY 2, Euro 96 final. The man with a name like a German off-licence scored the first golden goal to settle a major international final.
45 - Joe Payne's tenth. LUTON TOWN 12 Bristol Rovers 0, third division (south), 1936. Set the record for most goals in a league match.
44 Gary Lineker - Argentina 2 ENGLAND 1, World Cup quarter-final, 1986. England still went out, but Lineker's sixth in the tournament made him the first and only Englishman to win the World Cup Golden Boot.
43 Pele - SANTOS v Vasco Da Gama, 1969. The match in the Maracana was so obscure no one knows the score, but it witnessed the 1,000th goal of Pele's career. He went on to total 1,282, but admittedly that includes strikes in dubious exhibition games, and early goals scored for the 9th Sao Paolo cubs.
42 David Simmons - COLCHESTER UNITED 3 Leeds 2, FA Cup fifth round, 1971. Scored the crucial goal that sealed one of the greatest Cup shocks of all time.
41 Peter Withe - ASTON VILLA 1 Bayern Munich 0, European Cup final, 1982. The bearded Scouser's scrappy shinner won the big one for Villa in Rotterdam.
40 Eric Bryant - YEOVIL TOWN 2 Sunderland 1, FA Cup fourth round, 1949. Yeovil were in the Southern League, Sunderland the so-called Bank of England club. But the famous Huish slope, the Magic of the CupTM, and Bryant's extra-time winner were enough to create a seismic upset.
39 Alan Sunderland - ARSENAL 3 Manchester United 2, FA Cup final, 1979. The frizzy forward notched the most dramatic winner the Cup Final has seen, after United had pulled two goals back in the last few minutes.
38 Sammy Reid - BERWICK RANGERS 1 Rangers 0, Scottish FA Cup 1967. Reid scored the winner for the second division amateurs that still triggers disbelief around Ibrox.
37 Angelo Schiavio - ITALY 2 Czechoslovakia 1, World Cup final, 1934. Italy became the first European winners of the World Cup in the regrettable presence of Il Duce, thanks to the cramp-riddled veteran Schiavio's extra-time decider.
36 David Trezeguet - FRANCE 2 Italy 1, Euro 2000 final. The Juventus striker rounded off the best international tournament of recent years with a golden goal to sink plucky Italy.
35 Paolo Rossi - Brazil 2 ITALY 3, World Cup group match, 1982. Hat-tricks are a scarce commodity, and it needed Rossi's treble to beat one of the best teams never to have won the World Cup, in one of the best games in the tournament's 76 years.
34 Marquitos - Reims 3 REAL MADRID 4, European Cup final, 1956. It's easy to imagine that Real Madrid were unchallenged in the early years of this competition, but Marquitos scored the winner in the tense inaugural final against the team from Reims to set the pattern for several years to follow.
33 Alcides Ghiggia - Brazil 1 URUGUAY 2, World Cup final match, 1950. The hosts were runaway favourites to win the World Cup for the first time, in front of at least 199,000 in the Maracana, but outside-right Ghiggia scored the key goal ten minutes from time and Brazil had another eight-year wait to claim their destiny.
32 Bobby Stokes - Manchester United 0 SOUTHAMPTON 1, FA Cup Final, 1976. Scored one of the goals that made the FA Cup's reputation as the most compelling sporting competition ever devised, as unfancied second division Saints put it over Tommy Doc's division one glory boys.
31 Helmut Rahn - Hungary 2 WEST GERMANY 3, World Cup final, 1954. Rahn's late strike did more than win a World Cup. It raised the pall of gloom that haunted post-War Germany, and set the nation back on the road to peace and prosperity. Not a bad result from a close-range toe-ender.
30 Stephen Pearson - DERBY COUNTY 1 West Brom 0, Championship play-offs final, 2007. Depending on which paper you read, this goal guaranteed Derby anything between either £20 million and £27 million for a ride on the Premier League gravy train. Whatever the figure, the Scot's goal is probably the most valuable scored in any match.
29 Pele - Sweden 2 BRAZIL 5, World Cup final, 1958. This was the first World Cup final watched by a large audience on TV, and Pele's show did much to entrench football as the planet's top sport. For Brazil's third, he controlled the ball on his thigh, popped it over a Swede's head, and volleyed the ball home.
28 David Platt - Belgium 0 ENGLAND 1, World Cup second round match, 1990. Italia 90 re-ignited the nation's interest in football, beginning with this fist-pumping, heart-stopping moment – Gazza's late free-kick, Platt's athletic swivel and volley, and the celebrations that followed.
27 Morton Peto Betts - Wanderers 1 Royal Engineers 0, FA Cup Final, 1872. Won the first FA Cup Final with what contemporary press reports described as 'a well-directed kick under the tape'.
26 Ronald Koeman - HOLLAND 2 England 0, World Cup qualifier, 1993. But for Koeman's crucial goal, England might have gone on to qualify for the 1994 World Cup, won the final, and Sir Graham Taylor would still be England manager.
25 Carlos Alberto - BRAZIL 4 Italy 1, World Cup final, 1970. The full-back's fulminating shot to round off a perfect flowing move gave us the alpha and the omega of what football is all about.
24 Gary Lineker's third - ENGLAND v Poland, World Cup group F, 1986. Lineker was out of sorts and under pressure for his place from Kerry Dixon and Mark Hateley before getting his skates on against the Poles. His hat-trick revived England's fortunes and set him on the way to being the best striker in England history.
23 Ray Houghton - Italy 0 IRELAND 1, World Cup group E, 1994. The Glaswegian's effort at Giants Stadium set up Ireland's finest World Cup win.
22 Gerd Muller's second - England 2 WEST GERMANY 3, World Cup quarter-final, 1970. Der Bomber's extra-time shocker put the skids under Alf Ramsey's England reign.
21 Gerry Armstrong - Spain 0 NORTHERN IRELAND 1, World Cup group 5, 1982. Armstrong's strike in Valencia set the seal on Northern Ireland's proudest night.
20 Jan Domarski - England 1 POLAND 1, World Cup qualifier, 1973. One Pole goal put England out and laid waste to a generation of talent. The nation endured 12 World Cup-less years thereafter.
19 Don Masson - Wales 0 SCOTLAND 2, World Cup qualifier, 1977. Masson's penalty kick went a long way towards sending the Scots to the finals. But was the hand-ball by Joe Jordan? Of course it was by Joe Jordan.
18 David Beckham - ENGLAND 2 Greece 2, World Cup qualifier, 2001. The draw saved England's place in the finals, and Beckham's last-minute free-kick preserved his status as the team's most important player for a few more years.
17 Pele - BRAZIL 1 Wales 0, World Cup quarter-final, 1958. The 17-year-old scored late in the second half, but if Wales had grabbed the goal they deserved history may have panned out very differently.
16 Nandor Hidegkuti - England 3 HUNGARY 6, friendly international, 1953. It took less than a minute for the Magyars to blow apart the myth of English superiority with the first goal in a performance which changed the landscape of world football.
15 Hector Castro - URUGUAY 4 Argentina 2, World Cup final, 1930. The centre-forward scored in the last minute in Montevideo to confirm the hosts as the first-ever world champions.
14 Steve Chalmers - CELTIC 2 Inter Milan 1, European Cup final, 1967. Celtic's second goal in Lisbon was a victory for attacking football against the negative, anti-football of the Milanese. They became the first British team to win the trophy, and also clinched an immortal Quadruple.
13 Michael Thomas - Liverpool 0 ARSENAL 2, First Division championship decider, 1989. "It's up for grabs now!" gasped Brian Moore in the commentary box as Thomas strode through in the last minute at Anfield to score the goal that gave Arsenal the title in the most dramatic climax to a season in memory.
12 John Robertson - Hamburg 0 NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1, European Cup final, 1980. The Scot's shot was good enough to win the Cup for Forest for a second year in a row. Will a club of that size ever win the Champions League? Unlikely. And retain it? Never.
11 Ian Porterfield - Leeds United 0 SUNDERLAND 1, FA Cup Final, 1973. Most neutrals' idea of the best FA Cup Final upset ever: plucky Division Two underdogs, Jim Montgomery's double save, Bob Stokoe's porkpie hat – and Porterfield's iconic rocket shot into the roof of the net.
10 Xabi Alonso - AC Milan 3 LIVERPOOL 3, European Cup final, 2005. It was a scuffed rebound from a penalty, but it capped the greatest comeback European football has ever seen.
9 Ray Kennedy - Tottenham 0 ARSENAL 1, Division One, 1971. Kennedy's goal two minutes from time in their last League match of the season gave them the title – and the chance to win their first Double five days later at Wembley.
8 Alan Kennedy - LIVERPOOL 1 Real Madrid 0, European Cup final, 1981. The full-back they called Barney Rubble reduced Real Madrid's defence to tiny fragments with a bravura run and crashing shot. Click here to see the goal.
7 Jimmy Glass - CARLISLE 2 Plymouth Argyle 1, Division Three, 1999. Last day of the season, and with seconds left Carlisle are drawing 1-1 and doomed to drop into the Conference. Their on-loan goalkeeper chugs up the field and blasts the winner which saves the Cumbrians. Scarborough go down instead. Click here to see the goal.
6 Tommy Smith - Borussia Moenchengladbach 1 LIVERPOOL 3, European Cup final, 1977. "What a delighted scorer! It's Tommy Smith!" burbled the TV commentator as the doughty defender's howitzer header rippled the back of the net to win Liverpool's first European Cup.
5 George Best - MANCHESTER UNITED 4 Benfica 1, European Cup final, 1968. Extra-time on a torrid night at Wembley, and no-one had an ounce of energy left to give – except the thoroughbred Best. With the score tied at 1-1 he waltzed through the Portuguese defence and scored to fire Busby's men with fresh hope. Click here to see the goal.
4 Stan Mortensen's third - BLACKPOOL 4 Bolton Wanderers 3, FA Cup Final, 1953. Mortensen became the last player to score a FA Cup Final hat-trick, and also put the tin lid on what is hailed as the best match Wembley has ever seen.
3 Dixie Dean's third - EVERTON 3 Arsenal 3, Division One, 1928. Dean needed a hat-trick in the last match to set a record of 60 goals in a season. He scored two early on, and in the last few minutes Dean leapt above the Arsenal defence and headed No 60. Will his record ever be broken? No.
2 Teddy Sheringham - Bayern Munich 1 MANCHESTER UNITED 2, European Cup Final, 1999. Teddy's timely mis-kick saved United from defeat and set them on the way to the Treble – the greatest feat in the history of English football.
1 Geoff Hurst's second - ENGLAND 4 West Germany 2, World Cup final, 1966. England had beaten West Germany once in normal time only to suffer a late equaliser. Now they had to beat them again in extra-time. In the 100th minute Nobby Stiles prods a pass to the indomitable Ball on the right. He skins Karl-Heinz Schnellinger and cracks over a cross into the penalty area. Hurst finds enough energy to steal a yard on his marker, and thumps the ball against the underside of the bar. Russian Linesman Tofik Bachramov says the rebound is over the line, and England are 3-2 up! They think it's all over! It isn't now, but it will be in about ten minutes.
Os italianos, como não podem ver nada, arranjaram logo 10 golos tão ou mais importantes do que a selecção Top 50 feita pelo The Times e publicaram uma contra-lista. Aqui vai:
Diego Armando Maradona Argentina - Inghilterra 2-1, Coppa del Mondo, Messico 1986 Con 11 tocchi di palla supera mezza squadra avversaria e infila il portiere. Il gol più famoso della storia, nella stessa partita della "mano di Dio"
Marco Van Basten Olanda - Urss 2-0, Europei Germania Ovest 1988 In finale, un diagonale quasi dalla linea di fondo: decisivo e strabiliante.
Roberto Baggio Italia - Nigeria 2-1, Coppa del Mondo Usa 1994 Ottavi di finale, l'Italia è sotto a due minuti dalla fine. Precisione e freddezza del "Divin Codino" che rimette l'Italia di Sacchi in corsa verso la sfortunata finale con il Brasile.
Fabio Grosso Germania - Italia 0-2, Coppa del Mondo Germania 2006 Semifinale, tempi supplementari. Il terzino entra nella storia giustiziando i padroni di casa con un colpo da biliardo.
Zinedine Zidane Real Madrid - Bayer Leverkusen 2-1, Finale Champions League 2002 Quando le merengues erano "galattiche". Un tiro al volo di rara bellezza.

Marco Tardelli Italia - Germania 3-1, Coppa del Mondo Spagna 1982 Finale mondiale. L'urlo di gioia più famoso della storia al termine di un contropiede magistrale, guidato da Gaetano Scirea. Il presidente Pertini esulta in tribuna
Alessandro Del Piero River Plate - Juventus 0-1, Coppa Intercontinentale 1996 Intuito e talento: una rete che gli juventini ricordano bene. La Signora è sul tetto del mondo
Francesco Totti Olanda - Italia 1-3 dcr, Europei Belgio-Olanda 2000 Semifinale contro i padroni di casa. Ai calci di rigore, il cucchiaio più irriverente.
Gianni Rivera Italia - Germania 4-3, Coppa del Mondo, Messico 1970 La rete della vittoria: tiro beffardo che prende in controtempo di portiere tedesco. Una partita che poi verrà eletta come la più emozionante della storia del calcio.
