#10 Ronaldinho vs England [2002]

2002 World Cup - Quarter-Final | Brazil 2-1 England

Goal Scorer - Ronaldinho

Samba magic by the magician himself...

It is a pity that this Brazilian legend has not played more at the world cup arena than many would have expected him to, but that did not leave him troubled for long as he made the most from his presence in 2002.

Brazil faced England in the quarter-finals. After an early Michael Owen goal for England, Rivaldo equalized it in the dying minutes of first half to make it 1-1. What followed next was a piece of ambiguous magic from Ronaldinho. Realizing that the English goal keeper was out of his line, he made the most of it by scoring an amazing 40-yard free kick to give Brazil the lead and eventually the win. Howbeit the pre-goal scenario, once the ball dipped under the crossbar into the top corner there was not much anyone can argue about the beauty of that strike.

People have argued for a decade about the intent of the strike being a normal cross. The error in judgment by English goalie David Seaman and Ronaldinho’s celebration clearly suggest the Brazilian had a plan and had taken a calculative risk that worked to perfection.  It is one of the greatest world cup goals.
