The World Cup is football's mythology generator. The goals it produces aren't just goals — they're moving images people remember 40 years later. Here are seven that defined the tournament.
The "goal of the century". Maradona collects the ball in his own half, beats five England players, finishes past Peter Shilton. 55 yards. 11 touches. 10.6 seconds. It's still the highest-effort dribble goal ever recorded at international level.
Bonus: the first goal of that same match (the "Hand of God") was his other goal. Two of the most famous goals in history, same striker, same 4 minutes.
Brazil 4-1 Italy. The fourth goal: nine players touch the ball before Pelé rolls it sideways into Carlos Alberto's path. Carlos Alberto, sprinting from right-back, fires it into the bottom corner. Considered the most beautiful team goal in World Cup history.
Netherlands 2-1 Argentina, quarter-final. 89th minute. Frank de Boer hits a 60-yard pass to Bergkamp at the corner of the box. Bergkamp's first touch kills it. Second touch around the defender. Third touch volley into the far corner. Three of the most perfect touches in football history, back to back.
Italia '90. Baggio collects in midfield, runs at the defence, slaloms through three defenders, finishes off the goalkeeper. The first goal that announced Baggio as the next global star.
England 4-2 West Germany after extra time. Hurst, exhausted, picks up a long ball, beats one defender, fires from the edge of the area. Forty seconds later, the final whistle. England's only World Cup, and the only World Cup final hat-trick ever.
Belo Horizonte. James chests down a clearance 30 yards out, swivels, fires a volley into the top corner. Won Goal of the Tournament. He was 23 and unknown outside Colombia before this. A month later, he was on Real Madrid.
Saudi Arabia's outsider goal. Al-Owairan beats five Belgian players in a 60-yard run that's almost a copy of Maradona's. Saudi Arabia win 1-0 and advance from the group. Often missed by Western retrospectives, but it's a top-five Cup goal.
Three traits:
2026 will produce its own goals — and a few will join this list.
