WC Photo break - Keepers

This is René Higuita, Columbian famous keeper getting the ball ahead of Jorgen Klinsmann in 1990


Four years later, you have no idea why a keeper is running behind a striker


The way he runs reminds me so much by the famous legend, the Pirate Jack Sparrow : )





This was the photo of the year in 1989 in Maracana stadium. Brazil was about to be ruled out of the world cup qualifications because Rojas, Chile keeper pretended that this fire work hit him, and Chile withdrew from the game.


This one is when German keeper Schumacher broke Battiston ribs, few teeth and caused him to go into coma. Platini said that he thought Battiston is dead. After the game, Schumacher refused to give an apology, and said I can only pay his dentist fees.

That was semi-final 1982 Germany - France
