In 1986 Argentina won 2-1 after two of soccer history's most famous

-- to some the greatest soccer goal of all times (http://

To the first, I respond, "well if that's how you want to win, on you
go boy. May cheating bring you immense happiness." To the
second...the moves aren't much. Just poor defending. A great goal,
a great moment in any sport is when you go, "how on earth did he/she
do that"?
I'm ready. Cable t.v. guy came and did his stuff today. Like the
rest of the West, we now have umpteen channels of nothing. Now the
only question is: which English players will miss the second and
third shots in the penalty kick shootout against the Germans?
