I’ve just seen the highlights of this game from last night. It just sorts of rumbles along, with comedy defending for the first 11 goals, and then what a finish for the equaliser! A missed penalty as well. Also a lesson on why you should never leave a game early even if you 6-2 down.

You want more Mexico 86? Here they are, the top 20 goals from the BBC. Dreamy stuff.

Not sure how Lineker’s tap-ins get in there mind.

Congratulations to Inter on reaching the European Cup final last night. Here’s a quick reminder of the time Jose Mourinho really made his mark on British football by sprinting down the touchline to celebrate with his Porto players against Man United.

In the 89th minute Phil Neville conceded a soft free-kick 25 yards out and when Benni McCarthy’s strike was flapped at by Tim Howard, Costinha smashed home the rebound to make it 3-2 on aggregate to send Porto into the second round and on their way to winning the trophy.

Have you ever wondered what happened to John Gregory?

No, well here he is anyway cooly celebrating his goalkeeper scoring a last minute equaliser for Israeli side Maccabi Ahi Nazareth.

Albanian-Danish striker Bajram Fetai was booted out of his old Danish side Silkeborg back in 2006 after getting involved in a fight with his team-mates. Having left under a bit of a cloud, Fetai was clearly delighted to score against his former club for his new side FC Nordsjaelland and pull out this well rehearsed goal celebration. This should be added to FIFA or Pro Evo as some sort of finishing move.

From The Guardian’s excellent ‘The Knowledge‘ section is an entry this week about Oxford United v Leyton Orient on the final day of the 2005-06 season.

“Orient needed to do at least as well as Grimsby, who were at home to Northampton, to be promoted, while Oxford needed to win to stand a chance of avoiding relegation to the Conference,” writes Csaba Abrahall. “It was a mad afternoon, and the game was poised at 2-2 going into stoppage time. With Grimsby ahead against Northampton, a draw was no use to either team, leading to a bizarre conclusion in which both sides threw everything into attack. Just as Orient broke up an Oxford attack, Northampton equalised at Grimsby, meaning that a draw would do for the Os. But the news wasn’t relayed to the players in time to prevent Luke Steele from scoring a winner in a five-against-one situation. So Orient went up, Oxford went down, and fans looked forward to the summer to recover.”

Just listen to the commentary…

“RAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHAGUIBEGYIBSDLGVNSODGVNJ”

Just in case you missed this at the weekend or even if you didn’t and you fancy watching it again. And again… It’s the Brazilian defender Maicon cracking a spectacular volley against Juventus to take Inter back to the top of Serie A. For a brief time anyway, until Roma’s win over Lazio on Sunday. Exciting times in Italy.

This is Tomislav Bosec of Inter Zapresic scoring against NK Zadar in the Croatian first division. Apparently he was trying get to the VIP box where his family was sitting but still, don’t do it in front of the home fans eh?

Clarence Seedorf scores a last minute screamer. Italian commentator goes off on one with this little rhyme:

“Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka,
E’ il re del cioccolato,
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka,
E’ sempre il più acclamato.”

Basically translates as:

“Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka,
Is the chocolate King,
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka,
Is the most acclaimed.”

I don’t know where this comes from but I hope it’s not from the er Borat school of thinking – “A real life chocolate face” [/Borat]

We showed a video here of Messi as 5 year old running rings round all the other kids. Fast forward a few years and here he is as a 13 year old still running rings round everyone.
