The Battle Of Santiago
When: Chile 1962
Chile squared up against Italy in thie first-round encounter, quite literally. The BBC's David Coleman was appalled, and did little to hide it in the intro. The first foul came after just 12 seconds and the first sending-off, accompanied by the police, after just eight minutes. Referee Ken Astor was inspired to invent red and yellow cards to keep track of cautions on the back of this. Watch out for the flying kick to the neck!

It was indeed Dennis Bergkamp scoring the game winning goal in the 1998 WC quarter finals against Argentina. The 75m spot-on pass came from Frank de Boer.

Mobutu actually threatened the lives of the Zaire players an their families should they lose by more than three clear goals, so my guy was scared shiteless and just trying to waste time.

Pelé is the only who is remembered for his goals and his misses (near legend goals), despite scoring more than a 1,000 goals in his career.

No offense cause this list is ok but lose your boner to italy. Also how can you not put zidane in the 06 world cup final as the most badass moment? He snipes probably the most clutch/nicest pk in the history of the world cup and then headbutts materazzi, still winning the Golden Ball. Then just straight up quits soccer. Thats the definition of badass.
