World Cup Crazy Wall: MLS Players’ Greatest World Cup Goals (Bale, Cahill & Messi)

Put your favorite MLS World Cup goals in the comments! It's another World Cup Crazy Wall thanks to our partnership with ⁨@YouTube⁩ ! #ad

We've received another dispatch from Travis, who’s deep in the #FIFAWorldCup archives, compiling historic FIFA World Cup goals scored by players who have played in MLS

We break down three picks:

Gareth Bale’s late penalty equalizer vs the USA at Qatar 2022—sparked by a foul from Walker Zimmerman and highlighted for its “topknot-on-topknot” moment—plus Bale’s clutch reputation and Wales’ first World Cup since 1958.

Next is Tim Cahill’s iconic 2014 group-stage volley vs the Netherlands, discussed for its long diagonal ball, off-foot technique, rapid response after conceding, and signature corner-flag boxing celebration.

Finally, they analyze Lionel Messi’s 2014 group-stage goal vs Bosnia and Herzegovina, focusing on the give-and-go, tight angles, and precise placement over power, with an anecdote about Carlos Vela’s shooting advice.
