Some score headers, some curl it from out of the box, but some make it look like magic.

There are few things that bring football fans more joy than seeing the ball hit the back of the net, or more devastation than when the opposition score against your side. Goals ultimately decide success and failure. At the FIFA World Cup, these joys and sorrows are heightened ever still, magnified on the global stage.

In the fabled 90-year history of the World Cup, nearly 2,400 goals have been scored. Not all of them have been spectacular, but some of the most beautiful or dramatic goals are remembered by generations of football fans.

In the new "Hyundai Anatomy of a Goal" series, FIFA closely analyses some of the most memorable goals in World Cup history. Have fun watching!
