Top 25 Goals From Europeans, South Americans & Africans That You Don't Know
The Sun (UK) recently ran a piece about the best goals in football history. Yes, that's football as in soccer (I'm working to improve America's image abroad).
But it must have been a pretty busy day over at The Sun- Posh Spice's nipples must have made an appearance- because they neglected to include video for all of the goals. That's just some shoddy journalism from my favorite Limey tabloid. Maybe you guys need a refresher course; it's all YouTube videos nowadays.
So I reviewed The Sun's list and decided that it was a little- not surprisingly- pasty English guy heavy. And since I'm an American, own FIFA for my Xbox and watch the World Cup every four years, I feel more than qualified to augment The Sun's list and put together a list of the Top 25 Goals in History. Because American involvement makes everything better. Even soccer.
