The FIFA World Cup, sometimes called the football World Cup or the soccer World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international football competition contested by the men's national football teams of member nations of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) (the sport's global governing body). The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946, due to World War II. However, the event is often ongoing, as the qualifying rounds of the competition take place over the three years preceding the final rounds. Since 1991, FIFA has also held the Women's World Cup on a similar four-year schedule. The tournament's final phase (often called the "World Cup Finals") involves thirty-two national teams competing at several venues (within the host nation or nations) over a period of about a month. It is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world, with 1.1 billion people watching the 2002 tournament final.[1] In eighteen tournaments held, only seven nations have won. Brazil is the most successful World Cup team, having won the tournament five times. The current Cup holder, Italy, follows with four titles, while Germany holds three. The other former champions are Uruguay and Argentina with two titles each, and England and France with one title each. Of the ten World Cups staged in Europe, only one saw victory by a non-European team, that being Brazil in 1958. When held outside Europe, the competition has only been won by South American teams. Only two teams from outside these two continents have ever reached the semi-finals of the competition: the USA (in 1930) and South Korea (in 2002). The most recent football World Cup Finals were held between June 9 and July 9, 2006 in Germany, where Italy were crowned champions after beating France 1-1 (5-3) in a penalty shoot-out

XABI ALONSO!!! Deadly marksmanship once again (He Scored from similar distance again Luton in an FA Cup Tie) from the best passers in the premiership.
He Reminds me of the great Jan Molby....
Put a bet to get a hat trick of these at 16/1
