In which our very own World Cup Wyatt peers at everyone’s favourite 5 kilos of gold and malachite, and asks: “What’s your favourite World Cup goal?”

I’d have thought it would be hard to look past the magical realism of Diego Maradona against England, but Owen is a Dennis Bergkamp fan and England fans clearly have fond memories of Geoff Hurst and Michael Owen.

I bet there are plenty more candidates that someone without an extremely heavy cold could think of. Give us your faves in the comments…

If you take the view that some England defender ought to have stopped Maradona, then it has got to be Marco Tardelli, if only for the celebration…

I think the most memorable game was Italy Ireland in the USA 94 world cup!!

Hwang Bo Kwan of South Korea show a direct free kick from outside the large box in the Italy 1990 WC. Amazing distance, spin and curve around the wall. Amazing!!!

Maradona’s second against England, no contest. God’s left foot that was.

I think the best goal was the fastest goal in WC history. Hakan Sukur in the 3rd place game in South Korea/Japan 02.
