Bayern Munich 4-0 Paderborn: Gotze at the double for brilliant Bavarians


Mario Gotze scored twice as Bayern Munich returned to winning ways with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Paderborn on Tuesday night.
Pep Guardiola's side may have been unspectacular in the opening four games of their title defence, yet Bayern never looked like losing at the Allianz Arena against Paderborn, as Gotze's double, Robert Lewandowski's half-volley and Thomas Muller's close-range finish late on secured victory and top spot in the table.

Real Madrid make it 1,000 European goals with thrashing of Basel


The Spanish giants opened the defence of their Champions League crown with an emphatic win at the Bernabeu - and made history in the process
Real Madrid have become the first side to score 1,000 European goals, reaching the landmark during Tuesday's 5-1 thrashing of Basel.

Madrid were in complete command by half-time, establishing a 4-1 lead thanks to an own goal from Marek Suchy and efforts from Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and James Rodriguez. Derlis Gonzalez's goal was of little consolation to the Swiss.
The game drifted in the second half but Madrid's night was capped by a fifth goal - the club's 1,000th in continental competition - from Karim Benzema 11 minutes from the end.
The France striker played a lovely one-two with Ronaldo before hammering a left-foot strike in off the bar.
The result will come as a huge relief to a Madrid side who have won just one of their opening three La Liga fixtures.

Madrid must rebuild again after a Real debacle


The Blancos' 4-2 defeat at Real Sociedad has highlighted major flaws throughout the team, just three months after they won La Decima
By Ben Hayward | Spanish Football Writer

The fuchsia looked bright. Real Madrid were all pretty in pink as they cruised into a two-goal lead at Real Sociedad in their new away strip on Sunday, but what came next was anything but that as the home side struck four times without reply to leave the visitors in utter chaos.

Madrid were without Cristiano Ronaldo as the Portuguese takes time out to fully recover from his knee problem, but barely noticed early on as Sergio Ramos headed home the opener and Gareth Bale added a superb second. Impressively, Carlo Ancelotti's side were making light of one of La Liga's most difficult fixtures.

But then it all went wrong. First, Inigo Martinez finished from close range at the far post from a corner and then David Zurutuza was left all alone to head home and level the scores before half-time. All of Madrid's good work was undone by the interval - and it was all their own fault.

Instead of reasserting themselves after the break, however, they collapsed. Zurutuza got in front of Dani Carvajal with Ramos in no-man's land to fire home a third for the Basques from a Sergio Canales cross with 65 minutes gone and Carlos Vela compounded Madrid's misery by blasting in from a corner after appearing to control the ball with his hand. Whether he did or not was irrelevant, though, because the visitors were well beaten by then anyway.

The four goals came from four crosses, two from set-pieces - an old problem for this Madrid team. And each time, goalkeeper Iker Casillas was rooted to his line. "We were negative in everything we did," the club captain said afterwards. "Horrible."

That was no exaggeration. But the dead-ball debacle is nothing new for Real and the skipper still seems to be suffering with fragile confidence from the Jose Mourinho era, when he was dropped, injured and then benched for the remainder of the Portuguese's final season at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Now, there appears little or no communication between Casillas and his defenders at set-pieces and, given the team's inability to protect themselves in such situations, surely now is the time to try out summer signing Keylor Navas - La Liga's best goalkeeper last season and a man much more comfortable at dealing with crosses into his area.
As bad as Madrid were in defence, however, matches like this one are won and lost in midfield. And without Xabi Alonso and Angel Di Maria, respectively sold to Bayern Munich and Manchester United last week, Ancelotti's men were overrun. The Argentine's boundless energy would have been useful at both ends of the pitch, while the Basque would have brought better balance, provided protection and also attitude on his old stomping ground.

"This isn't a problem with just one player or another, but a general problem," Ancelotti said afterwards. "The team lost after a fantastic first half-hour. When there isn't a good attitude, it makes no difference if Xabi Alonso is there or not."

Alonso, however, is the type of leader who would not have allowed his team-mates to fold like they did on Sunday. In his absence, Toni Kroos looked uncomfortable in the role of defensive pivot, while Luka Modric and Isco offered little in the way of protection to their back four.

Further forward, Bale worked tirelessly and scored a wonderful goal, but James Rodriguez flattered to deceive once again and is still struggling to fit in following his summer move from Monaco, while Karim Benzema endured one of those nightmare nights when nothing at all goes right for him.

The transfer window slams shut on Monday and Madrid now look set to bring in Javier Hernandez on loan from Manchester United, a player who is unlikely to improve the team but should sell a few shirts and help the club in the Mexican market. Or that's the idea, anyway. No more arrivals are expected, but none should have been needed. Now they probably are.

If it ain't broke, the saying says, don't fix it. But Florentino Perez can't seem to help himself. Kroos and James are top players, but both will take time to settle into this team. With Di Maria and Alonso still at the club, they could have been eased in gradually. Instead, they have been thrown in at the deep end and Ancelotti has to find the balance again after fanning the flames from the Mourinho era to lead the club to their holy grail last term: La Decima.

The Italian's debut campaign was the club's most successful season in over a decade and should have brought stability, strength and calm. As chairman of a construction company, Perez should know all about the importance of firm foundations, but Madrid's movements in the transfer market mean they now have to rebuild all over again. The future, all of a sudden, isn't looking as bright at it should have.

The World Cup was not staged again until 1950 because of the Second World War. Played in Brazil, this edition of the Mundial saw one of the biggest upsets in football history when the host country lost to the Uruguay football team.
Brazil was highly favored to win in the final match with Uruguay, which was lowly rated after not qualifying in the two previous World Cups. The Brazilians scored two minutes into the second half and everything seemed to be going well for them. However, Uruguay tied on the 66th minute mark and scored anew on the 79th to steal the 1950 World Cup trophy.

However, West Germany equalized within the first half and, just five minutes before the end of regulation, broke away with another goal to win 3-2.

1962 FIFA World CupBrazil National Football Team, 1962 World Cup
Winner: Brazil
Runner-up: Czechoslovakia
Final score: Brazil 3-1 Czechoslovakia
Host country: Chile

In the 1962 World Cup, Brazil faced Czechoslovakia in the final match without its goal-scoring genius, Pele, as he was injured in the first round.

Runner-up: Italy

Winner: West Germany
Runner-up: Netherlands
Final score: West Germany 2-1 Netherlands
Host country: West Germany

The Dutch scored first over the Germans but saw themselves fall behind by 2-1 when halftime ended. Holland never broke through the German defense and the score stood still until the final whistle of the 1974 World Cup.




1978 FIFA World Cup
Winner: Argentina
Runner-up: Netherlands
Final score: Argentina 3-1 Netherlands (Extra time)
Host country: Argentina

The 1978 World Cup was won by host Argentina over Netherlands with a 3-1 overtime score. However, Argentina finished the tournament amidst a huge scandal.
Having tied with Brazil in a group stage game, Argentina needed to win by at least four goals over Peru to progress to the next stage. That game ended with a 6-0 score and pushed Argentina to the final stages. The result created wide rumors of match-fixing and still remains one of the biggest controversies in football.


1982 FIFA World CupNational Football Team of Italy, 1982 World Cup
Winner: Italy
Runner-up: West Germany
Final score: Italy 3-1 West Germany
Host country: Spain

The 1982 World Cup title is the third of Italy. It was not an easy one, as the Italians barely survived elimination in the first round. The first half of the final game did not prove to be inspiring either, as Italy missed a penalty that would have opened the scoring.
However, Italy managed to squeeze a goal on the 56th minute and followed it up with two more goals to lead 3-0. West Germany scored a goal in the 82nd minute to finish the game honorably, 3-1.




1986 FIFA World CupArgentina National Football Team, 1986 World Cup
Winner: Argentina
Runner-up: West Germany
Final score: Argentina 3-2 West Germany
Host country: Mexico

The 1986 Copa do Mundo belonged to Argentina and the finest Argentinean footballer ever, Diego Maradona. With his exceptional playing skills, he led his country from the opening round all the way to the final. However, he also brought his team into controversy by scoring a goal against England in the quarter-finals with the use of his left hand.
Nonetheless, Maradona has proven his brilliance beyond any doubt and led Argentina to a 3-2 final victory over the strong-willed Germans for the 1986 World Cup trophy.



1990 FIFA World CupGermany National Football Team, 1990 World Cup
Winner: West Germany
Runner-up: Argentina
Final score: West Germany 1-0 Argentina
Host country: Italy

The 1990 World Cup title was the third of West Germany, which they took at the expense of defending champion Argentina. The only goal in the final game was made by the Germans through a penalty kick.
The final match was criticized for its cynicism and hyper-defensive plays by both sides, which can be considered as anti football. The 1990 Mundial is widely regarded as the poorest ever.





1994 FIFA World CupBrazil's National Football Squad, 1994 World Cup
Winner: Brazil
Runner-up: Italy
Final score: Brazil 0-0 Italy (3-2 pen)
Host country: United States

The 1994 World Cup, held in the United States, is the fourth occasion that Brazil would rip the highest honor in football. In the final match, neither Brazil nor its opponent, Italy, scored in the regulation and extra periods so the game was forced into a penalty shootout.
Both sides missed on their first attempt but Brazil converted its following shots while Italy suffered two more misses to lose 3-2 in the shootout. The biggest disappointment came to Italian football hero Roberto Baggio, who led his team throughout the tournament only to miss his chance from the penalty spot in the final game.


1998 FIFA World CupFrance National Football Team, 1998 World Cup
Winner: France
Runner-up: Brazil
Final score: France 3-0 Brazil
Host country: France

The final belonged to French football legend Zinedine Zidane who scored two goals in regulation to make victory imminent for the host country. His efforts were complemented by Emmanuel Petit, who added another goal in stoppage period. The match ended 3-0 for the first World Cup title in France’s football squad history.



2002 FIFA World CupBrazil's National Football Squad, 2002 World Cup
Winner: Brazil
Runner-up: Germany
Final score: Brazil 2-0 Germany
Host country: South Korea & Japan

The 2002 World Cup was the first to be held in Asia and saw Brazil become the winner once again. Ronaldo scored both of Brazil’s goals to surge pass Germany 2-0 in the final match. The brilliant striker finished as 2002 top scorer but it was the football goalkeeping legend Oliver Kahn of Germany who bagged the award for the tournament’s best player, the Golden Ball. (This World Cup, with Korea and Japan as hosts, is the first to be hosted by two nations.)




2006 FIFA World CupNational Football Team of Italy, 2006 World Cup
Winner: Italy
Runner-up: France
Final score: Italy 1-1 France (5-3 pen)
Host country: Germany

Held in Germany, the 2006 World Cup was the fourth that the Italians reigned supreme. They saw France take the lead in the first half via a penalty shot but managed to equalize immediately.

The Italians won the penalty shootout on a 5-3 score to gain the fourth championship in Italian football team history.




2010 FIFA World CupNational Football Team of Spain, 2010 World Cup
Winner: Spain

Host country: Brazil
