WHY did Muller, still only 28 years old and in the most devastating form of his prolific career, decide to call it quits after this match? Just think of how he could have improved those amazing international goal statistics. Pele retired from international duty after '72 because he felt he felt he was a spent force. What were Muller's reasons? Does anyone know?

He wanted to spent more time with his wife and his little daughter!

England seem to have a problem with German players wearing 13 and called Müller.

This is one of the greatest goals in the history of football.

The movement of Muller, who instead of going towards the middle of the area leads suddenly towards his teammate onto the right confuses his direct marker; then he slips through another and goes towards the center; there he gets the ball and stops, confusing a third defender. Then all he has to do is a simple shot. Only people who know nothing of football may think this was just a trivial goal. This is the goal of an immense striker.

@virtue08mofo you're welcome. adieu.

[virtue08mofo]

@vagadellestelle Thank you.

[vagadellestelle]

@virtue08mofo yes yes, ok, you're right. Bye.

[virtue08mofo]

@vagadellestelle This goal wouldn't even get in the top 10 goals of the month on match of the day.

[vagadellestelle]

@virtue08mofo ok you didn't say it but you said you did 30 better than this, right? again, besides the fact that you cannot prove your point someone who reads your comments still thinks that you are very likely self delusional. Bye.

PS this is a great goal not just for the movement he does but also because 99% of the strikers of the world would have shot to the first post, not to the farthest one as he did

[virtue08mofo]

@vagadellestelle Where did I say who is this guy Muller? Did I say he's not a great player? I don't care if I can't prove it because I don't have videos of my goals but I think it's obvious to anyone that this isn't one of the greatest goals ever.

[vagadellestelle]

@virtue08mofo you can agree or not, it's a matter of tastes and competence, ok, but if you say "oh yes i did 30 better than this, who is this guy Muller?" besides the obvious fact that nobody can verify this, so it should be pointless to remark it, but do you realize what is the impression that you make on others about yourself?

[virtue08mofo]

@vagadellestelle Only retards think this is one of the greatest goals in the history of football,it's a good goal in a big game nothing more. Judging it on skill wise alone I have scored about 30 goals better than this in 11 vs 11 competitive matches.

[vagadellestelle]

@virtue08mofo Yes it is. Sorry for you who cannot understand it.

[virtue08mofo]

@vagadellestelle na it's not
