Rosana netted an absolute beauty against Australia in the group stage. Displaying great touch and concentration, the Brazilian forward volleyed the ball to herself over the Australian defender and then rocketed a shot past the helpless keeper.

The goal turned out to be decisive as Brazil wound up winning the match 1-0.

love the france vs england goal where the goalie dives a good while after the ball is already in the goal.

fifa needs to consider having a penalty for excessive celebration after a goal

Watching Brazil dismantle Norway just shows how big the US Teams victory over Brazil was. The US shut them down (a terrible call on the PK, and a freak deflection) considering how much fire power Brazil had.
