Which mistake baffled YOU the most? Let us know below!

I'm a simple italian,
I see Zidane vs Materazzi in the thumbnail, I click.

Cameroon's forward is named 'Roger' not Robert.

Zidane's heabbutt is iconic. So many memes were done around it. Also, #10 was fixed because Stoine got tired of his money laundering scheme. Also, it's called "football".

Zidane’s headbutt is so iconic. Thanks WatchMojo for the videos.

Roger Miller was 38 when he win the duel again Higuita, this goalkeeper always wanted to be the show himself again the safety of team. It was one of saddest matches of Colombia.

It's not a mistake to batter someone for mouthing off about your family.
Also, congratulations on getting the name of the sport right.

Luis Enrique not including Ramos and Degea in the squad?

France had already lost world cup final 2006 when Zidane did that move on Matarazzi, the match could have done in a totally different way

[ARIXANDRE]

The dumbest mistake remais calling it "soccer", but I digress.

I used to be a football waterboy for my high school football team back in East Tx and, while I had a great time being one, I can confirm that even they made silly or dumb mistakes.

Love the way you pronounce the "R" in the latin or hispanic names

[whyk]

Materachi... At that time, I was truly stargazing... It is Zidane's curse that he has not been able to advance to the finals since winning the 2006 World Cup in Germany...

The reason why USA had outplayed England for 72 years? USMNT consists of highly diversed young players from outside the US and they are so energetic and fearless that they bring the upsets to the top-ranking FIFA nations.

[northnick]

Not only not taking first place, but the fact that Andrés Escobar's Own Goal didn't even get mentioned here is kind of an insult. It literally cost him his life. That's how big his mistake was!

[BlenderStudy]

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! Zidane's rage incident was indeed shocking.

[hilmikyazimov]

Number 10 was actually not a mistake, the match was actually fixed so they relegate and the owner can dissolve the club, the player being foreign didn’t know about that and wanted to take the penalty so he can score. In case the penalty was scored, they would avoid relegation and the owner would not be able to dissolve the club.

[liamgrech]

I was soo happy when I saw Zidane's headbutt during the final! Almost as happy as when Italy won the World Cup

[michaelmontgomery]

I love your voice. Do you do Fructus as well?

Nah the interview where the guy gives out a shout out to his girlfriend and his Mrs 😂😂😂
