#3 Robin van Persie (Netherlands) vs Spain

Robin Van Persie - flying Dutchman

The Flying Dutchman is not just a ghost ship. Robin Van Persie's header against Spain should fetch him a title equivalent of that.

A truly one of a kind goal, RVP's diving header got him a Puskas Award nomination, and deservedly so.

What started as a great assist from Daley Blind, caught Van Persie in the perfect position, he chipped in the goal from a diving header from almost 15 yards out.

The strike left one of the best goalkeepers of his generation, Iker Casillas, dumbstruck. Unique is just an understatement to describe how awesome the goal was.

Here is how the incident went.
