And one more time I return to the topic of the World Cup 2010 as it is doubtlessly the biggest sport event in the world. Now when the epic tournament is over, it is time to remember the Bet sand the Worst moments that have been spotted so far.
Before the tournament Nike launched an ad that resulted a sort of curse, or at least they say that now. The point is every football player featured in the ad was a huge disappointment on the tournament. Among them there were Ronaldinho who didn’t even make the Brazilian squad, Drogba, Rooney with no goals, Cannavaro, Kaka, totally adrift and others.
Another video presents a truly masterful strike for South Africa. Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s 40-yard screamer that ended up in the top corner of the net was doubtlessly the most jaw-dropping goal of the tournament.
What can be considered the worst moment for a football team, their fans and the whole world that is watching the tournament? That is miss! But even among misses there are the worst ones. A vivid example is the match between Nigeria and Korea. Nigeria’s Yakubu Aiyegbeni misses a wide-open tap-in from 2 yards away. And yet how effortless he made it all look! Now the video is on the Internet with the title “World Worst Miss Ever”.
Horrible refereeing is a fixture of any World Cup. While 2006 was darkened by an absurd amount of yellow cards, 2010 World Cup was the victim of too many good goals being disallowed and too many bad ones being allowed to stand. The most shocking case was during Argentina vs Mexico match. Carlos Tevez’s goal was considered as offside. The question is how many feet was Carlos Tevez offside against Mexico? I wonder if the referee could answer this simple and evident question.
