Honourable mention: Gyan in 2010. It’s even more dramatic when juxtaposed with Abreu’s panenka a few minutes later to eliminate Ghana.

Honourable mention to Luis Suarez vs. England in 2014. To eliminate England while playing basically playing on 1 leg and dangerously rushing his recovery from surgery. It’s still baffling to me. His 2 goals to eliminate England is something that would’ve seemed cheesy if written for a movie.

Luis Suarez vs. Norwich. 4 goals and an assist + a ton of Maradona level plays. The announcers were nearly laughing because it all felt like watching a FIFA match on amateur mode.

For fans and players where international football is always great (ie: South America), the international break is treated like Christmas.
