The World Cup is a festival of football. People from every corner of the globe coming together to play the world’s greatest and most unifying sport. Something so special that we’re only allowed one every four years. It reminds us why we call it the beautiful game.
Now, imagine scoring at one. Imagine all the hours you’ve put in during your life to reach that moment: scoring for your country. The training sessions as a kid, the long journeys to games in your parent’s car, the dedication needed to get into starting line-ups, the feeling of being called up to the national team for the first time.
When you add it all up, there’s no wonder that some of the most iconic celebrations of all time have come during World Cups. Here’s a rundown of our favourites.
