20 Bizarre moments of the World Cup

[post_page_title]The original ghost goal – England, 1966[/post_page_title]
A ghost goal refers to two scenarios: the first, the ball doesn’t cross the goal line but a goal is given and the second, the ball crosses the line but a goal isn’t given. There have been several incidents in soccer history, but the first one of real significance was during the World Cup final in 1966. English player, Geoff Hurst, smashed a shot against the crossbar and the ball bounced down close to the line. It is unclear if it went over or not, but the referee gave the goal anyway.
