The World’s Sport: The World’s Fastest Goal

Nothing to debate or defend here. No controversial claims to be made. Just want to show off what is arguably the most remarkable thing to happen in soccer in a generation:

Yup. 2 seconds. That’s how long it took Nawaf Al Abed to score in the Al Hilal-Al Shoalah match, which Al Hilal ended up winning 4-0.
Where does this rank on the list of stupidest goalkeeping blunders of all time? Or should we put it with Beckham’s or Xabi Alonso’s mid-field shots in the best shot of all time ranking?
That’s up to you.
(Oh, and I’ll leave you with this, making sure I add in my normal England-hate)
