Who could forget Brandi?

BrandiBrandi

Perhaps nothing defined the women's movement better than the U.S. team's victory in the Women's World Cup in a thrilling shootout against China in the final. When Brandi Chastain kicked in the winning goal and ripped off her jersey in celebration as her teammates poured onto the field, it was a moment that will last another century.

Ferenc Puskas

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferenc_Pusk%C3%A1s

"During the 1950s he was both a prominent member and captain of the legendary Hungarian national team known as the Mighty Magyars"

"He scored 84 goals in 85 internationals for Hungary,[1] and 511 goals in 533 matches in the Hungarian and Spanish leagues"

"in 1948 he was the top goal scorer in any European league. While playing with Real Madrid, he won four Pichichis and scored seven goals in two European Cup finals. In 1995 he was recognized as the top scorer of the 20th century by the IFFHS"

"They also twice gave England a footballing lesson. In 1953 they stunned England with a 6-3 win at Wembley Stadium, becoming the first continental European team to defeat the English national team on home soil.[16] At their next meeting in 1954 the Magyars gave England a 7-1 hammering in Budapest"

"In 1963 he scored two hat-tricks against FC Barcelona, one at the Bernabéu and one at the Camp Nou"

"In the final itself, regarded by some as one the greatest finals ever, Puskás and Di Stéfano once again ran riot. Real beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3 with Puskás scoring four goals and Di Stéfano scoring three"
