[HeathDavisSpeed]

In case anyone is wondering why I nominated Saeed al-Owairan, this would be why:

YouTube - World Cup '94 -- Al Owairan -- Saudi Arabia vs Belgium

Remember that goal clearly.

Will also nominate Paul Gascoigne for the tears in 1990.

I'll also nominate Jose Batista of Uruguay for being sent off within a minute of taking to the field in (I think) 1986. Classic. (#8 in this youtube countdown - YouTube - 10 maiores curiosidades da Copa do Mundo)

Finally, Sergio Goychochea (sic.) for all those saved penalties. Don't remember the year.

 

[Agent TBY]

Second Stoichkov, Suker and Klinsmann.

 

[Simon]

Second Schwarzer and Matthaus

 

[Uppercut]

I'll nominate Ronaldinho- was no one watching in 2002?

I'll also nominate Marco Tardelli.

 

[Jarquis]

I'll nominate Ronaldinho- was no one watching in 2002?

Is why I was thinking of nominating Seaman tbh.
