the first one was brilliant the second one a very rare dick-goal

Jermaine Jones goal was awesome.

But since, the thread is entitled World Cup Goal of the tournament...that goal is not even top 5.

1. Tim Cahill volley v the Netherlands
2. Van Persie Header
3. Messi late 90th minute goal
4. Robben destroying one of the fastest Centre Backs in the world Sergio Ramos and breaking the top sprint speed ever recorded by Fifa.
5. Marchisio's goal because of Pirlo mastermind

I am not even biased, but , two of the top 5 goals came from the same game.

messi first due to long range,importance and everything that happened in that game

Not the best goal of the tournament but one that I thought was impressive was from Granit Xhaka. The game was already lost but it was still an impressive volley.

Skip to the 3:37 mark.

I'm Italian so the Pirlo dummy play was extra sweet for me to watch but I actually think the Jones goal might be more impressive. Such a cracker...

Tells you how bleh the tournament has been so far.

You can't rate a header over a volley coming from behind you while being delivered from the half way line. It's so much harder to control the volley, and not to mention on your wrong foot. I just don't see it.

RvP's header needed much more control and coordination than Cahill's volley.
It is far more difficult to control the direction and power of a header rather than a volley, considering they were delivered from similar distances and the header came while diving.
Add that RvP never looked at Casillas while the ball was coming, so it's a big plus for the peripheral view/instinctive feeling on Iker's position.

PS Most modern players don't have a weak foot. Sure there is a favourite one, but had Cahill's left foot really been weak, he'd have never even tried that.
