The beauty of football

I was easily tempted to comment about Mourinho's uncalled for and shameful outburst or about Balotelli's arrogant goal celebrations in Inter's game against Roma, which certainly don't put Italian football in a very good light. Instead I'd like to focus on the beautiful aspect of the world's most popular sport, that is spectacular goals which become part of football history.

One of these goals was scored by Mascara from an even further distance than the one scored by
Maradona. Apart from its beauty this goal holds a special significance for Mascara as it was scored against Palermo, Catania's most bitter rivals. Following is a link of this grand goal:

Other memorable goals include Quagliarella's goal against Chievo 2 seasons ago, Vieri's goal against Siena when playing with Atalanta in the same season, Maradona's coast-to-coast goal against England in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, Adriano's bullet freekick against Real Madrid in a summer friendly a couple of years ago, a wickedly curving freekick by Roberto Carlos in a Brazil-Italy Confederations Cup match of 1997 and Beckham's goal from midfield in the beginning of his career against Wimbledon... just to mention a few!

Following are a few links that should appease most football fans with a couple of fantastic goals!
