Four Great Goals

Diego Maradona (Argentina), 1986 World Cup vs England: runs across half the field, leaving half the English side in his dust

Michael Owen (England), 1998 World Cup vs Argentina:
runs across half the field; fakes three Argentines out of their shoes.

Diego Maradona (Argentina), 1986 World Cup vs England: The Hand of God goal. Actually, it was the hand of Maradona that put the goal past the keeper.

Pelé (Brazil), 1970 World Cup vs Czechoslovakia: deliberately overruns the ball, making the Czek keeper look stupid. [Note: Pele missed the resulting shot, eclipsing some of the brilliance of the move.]
