The World Cup: Heroes and beautiful moments



What makes the World Cup different from any tournament? 

For me I started to watch football in 1990 during Italia 90, believing in Diego Maradona, amazed by Roger Milla's celebration and watching Lothar Matthäus lifting the trophy. 
I felt in love with Italy after seeing Roberto Baggio's skill, style and his boney tail. I forgave his penalty miss in the 1994 World Cup, he is Baggio at the end. Bebeto's celebration and tribute to his baby was unforgettable. Saeed Al-Owairan goal on Belgium gave the Arab world a moment of that they create do miracles too.  
All of these colorful moments continued tournament after tournament. Zidane and Ronaldo were at the top of the world and heroes of a new era. Iniesta's goal at the 2010 final was a big moment for Spain's history, and i have witnessed Klose marking himself as all time world cup top scorer. While Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo I'm preparing myself to see their last dance. Mbappe represent the future for me.

As a fan of course I read and watched moments that happened while i wasn't born from other legends. Pele, Moore, Beckenbauer, Muller, Cruyff, Rossi, Tardelli and much more.

K2 - Klose and Klasnic


Miroslav Klose and Ivan Klasnic formed a superb partnership at Werder Bremen and as both their surnames begin with the letter 'K', they were nicknamed after the famous mountain.

Germany call Lahm & Klose after Argentina defeat

World champions Germany sank to a 4-2 international friendly defeat to Argentina on Wednesday night, in a rematch of the World Cup final.

Angel Di Maria was the star of the show, scoring once and assisting three times as Joachim Low's side were impressively dismantled by Argentina, who were without talisman Lionel Messi.

Germany of course were beginning life without Philipp Lahm and Miroslav Klose following the duo's retirement from international football, and the duo were certainly missed as Argentina gained a modicum of revenge.

Germany crush Brazil’s dreams

The hopes of a nation were left in tatters on Tuesday evening as Germany crushed Brazil to reach the World Cup final.

Luiz Felipe Scolari’s men were left stunned after Joachim Low’s side picked them apart in the first half, scoring five goals in the space of 18 minutes.

Andre Schurrle netted twice after the break to complete the demolition, and to add insult to injury, Miroslav Klose broke Ronaldo’s record to become the all-time record scorer in the World Cup.

Klose equals Ronaldo's World Cup record

Germany striker Miroslav Klose hit the headlines yet again on Saturday as he bagged his 15th World Cup goal and a place in the history books.

The 36-year-old came off the bench to level the scores against Ghana, in an entertaining 2-2 draw, with a goal that sees him equal Ronaldo’s record that has stood since 2006.

Next up for Germany is their final group game against USA, with Klose able to move clear at the top of the standings should he find the target again.

Last chance! Deadline day targets exit through transfer window

The clock is ticking and the January transfer deadline is fast approaching - could there be some late moves before the window closes?

Arsene Wenger has ruled out the signing of Julian Draxler, but Arsenal are in talks to sign both Lazio striker Miroslav Klose and Spartak Moscow midfielder Kim Kallstrom.

Southampton look set to say goodbye to Dani Osvaldo, who is in Turin for a medical with Juventus ahead of a loan move.

Dimitar Berbatov is also on the move. Tottenham looked favourites to re-sign the striker after Lewis Holtby moved to Fulham, but Monaco have stolen ahead in a move for the Bulgarian.

Plenty of moves have been confirmed and there are a lot more expected before the deadline - stay with Goal for all the latest updates!

Klose and Ronaldo become striker masters

Cristiano Ronaldo and Miroslav Klose etched their way into the record books on Friday after netting for their countries once again.

In Belfast, Ronaldo hit his first international hat-trick to surpass Eusebio’s record and become Portugal’s second highest goalscorer as Paulo Bento's men beat Northern Ireland 4-2 in a chaotic match.

The Real Madrid star has now scored 43 times for his country, and is just four goals behind Pauleta who is Portugal’s leading goalscorer.

Meanwhile, over in Munich, Klose’s 33rd minute strike, ensured he became Germany’s joint highest goalscorer.

The forward bagged his 68th international goal, in a 3-0 win over Austria, equalling Gerd Muller’s record.

Rampant Germany hit Ireland for six

Even the most optimistic of Republic of Ireland fans may not have been expecting to defeat Germany, but the 6-1 hammering in Friday's World Cup qualifier certainly wasn't part of the plan for Giovanni Trapattoni's men.

Doubles from Marco Reus and Toni Kroos, alongside goals for Mesut Ozil and Miroslav Klose, ensured Joachim Low's men secured a rampant win at the Aviva Stadium.

And while Andy Keough may have grabbed a late consolation goal, there is no denying that the Irish were smashed out of the park by their German counterparts...
