Watch: Hand of God, Zizou's headbutt and more Iconic World Cup moments
The World Cup is a little over a week away so we have taken the opportunity to relive a few iconic moments from tournaments gone by.
From Pele to Zidane, here are some of our favourite moments.
Many consider Pele the best player to ever play the Beautiful Game. In the 1958 final, a 17-year-old Pele wowed the world with two goals in 5-2 victory over Sweden.
Geoff Hurst is still the only player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final. The England legend helped the Three Lions lift the famous trophy in '66, an accomplishment they are still trying to repeat. They still believe...
Sweden were the unfortunate opposition when they came up against an inspired Johan Cruyff. The Dutch genius may have finished the tournament as a runner-up but the tournament will always be remembered for The Cruyff Turn.
Argentina v England. Diego Maradona. Hand of God. We don't have to say anymore.
It was supposed to be a glorious swansong for Zinedine Zidane. But it all went wrong when Zizou saw red, getting sent off for head-butting Marco Materazzi in chest. It was his final game for Les Bleus.
Germany lifted the trophy for the fourth time, but it was their legendary striker who grabbed the headlines.
In the semi-final against Brazil, Miroslav Klose scored his 16th World Cup goal - becoming the competition's all-time leading goal scorer.
