Too many.

There is Ronaldo against Holland in 98, Ronaldo against Turkey in 02.
Zidane against us, Brazil both in 98 and 06. Favourite international player ever.
Del Piero against Germany in 06.
Ronaldinho against England in 02.
Muller against Argentina and England in 10 - I feel bad he didn't develop much since then.
Laudrup against us in 98 - gotta love the guy.


Honorable mention to Marcos and Rivaldo for the whole work in 2002. They deserved the best GK and best Player of the Cup that tournment. Rivaldo deserved co-Golden Ball with Ronaldo, the very least.

Honestly, no one besides Kahn deserved best GK honours at that world cup.
It was basically Ballack, Schneider and a band of runners that played for Germany and if it weren't for Kahn and his insane saves there would've never been that run to the final.

No one besides Kahn choked in that WC Finals. Ronaldo is thanking his bad rebound until now. Not only Marcos was great, but he was also clutch.

Quite a few but ones of the top of my head:

Zidane against Brazil in '06
Oliver Kahn during the entire '02 WC
Grosso against Germany in '06
Beckham PK against Argentina in '02
Ronaldinho against England in '02
Tshabalala (sp?) in the opening game of '10

Gosso/Del Piero vs Germany may forever be my most beloved WC moment.

Aside from Italy I loved the France & Croatia '98 squads;
and Turkey & USA in 2002 (which was the worst tournament possibly ever)

thuram not being a goal scorer and scoring those 2 vs croatia was awesome. Watched a short france 98 documentary that came on tv a couple days ago.

1) Maradona vs England (Best goal ever - 1986)

2) Italy vs Germany (4:3 - 1970)

3) Roberto Carlos vs France (I know it was a WC pre-tournament.. but it was worth it - 1997)

Didnt Robbie Keane also score in stoppage time against Spain? Big shame they couldnt carry that momentum in the Penalty Shootout.
Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, Toni Kroos, Pep Guardiola, Ernst Happel, Joachim Löw.
