The 2014 FIFA World Cup put the world’s best players on show, and they did not disappoint. With the pressure of national pride on the line, countless players stepped up, providing some truly timeless strikes.
Tim Cahill gave Australia a reason to believe after his quick-fire response against the high-flying Netherlands levelled the match at 1-1. His left-footed volley off a long, high entry ball made one of the most difficult kicks in football look effortless.
With the Dutch a goal down in their opening match against Spain, Robin van Persie launched himself into World Cup history with a creative diving header, opening the floodgates for the Netherlands who went on to win the match 5-1.
Although Brazil stumbled in the knock-out stage, David Luiz’s free kick to open the scoring against Colombia gave the host nation something truly inspiring to cheer about.
Colombian young-gun James Rodriguez took home the Golden Boot, and also a potential claim for goal of the tournament for his stunning volley against Uruguay.
After losing the final is devastating fashion, it will take some time for ‘player of the tournament’ Lionel Messi to look back and draw enjoyment from his World Cup highlight reel. This doesn’t change the fact that his last-gasp winner against Iran will go down as one of the most memorable strikes of the tournament.
Then there is Mario Gotze’s well controlled effort in the 113th minute of the World Cup final. His enterprise, chesting the ball down to a tight angled volley, caused heartbreak for Argentina and elation for Germany.
