167 is the number of goals scored till now in the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2014,4 short of France World Cup 1998 to equal the most number of goals scored in a single world cup tournament.
We can hence conclude that there has been a goal fest.
As we look at some of the best goals scored in the tournament,let us also spare a moment for the pass of the World Cup 2014.
It was Argentina vs Belgium, World Cup Quarter Finals- While Gonzalo Higuain’s ultimately deciding goal was pretty tasty, the real moment of undoubted magic was a sublime pass pulled off by Lionel Messi to Angel di Maria in the match against Belgium.
With Belgian players closing him down, Messi managed to shift his weight, get the ball onto his magic left foot and curl a perfect 40-yard pass around the remaining defender to set Di Maria in on goal. As a combination of vision and precision, we’ve seen nothing better in this World Cup.
It was a pity that it did not result in a goal,but the pass from the little magician has captured our hearts. We are used to seeing such passes from him every now and again in the La Liga,but to deliver it at the ultimate stage shows the greatness of the 4 times Ballon D'Or Winner.
