It’s Sunday and you’re probably catching up on last week’s GoDC posts. Here’s a really quick one for you, and you’ll enjoy this if you’re a soccer fan.

If you’re a casual fan, you may not remember that in 1994 the U.S. hosted the World Cup, and some of the games were held ar our own RFK Stadium. Below is a video of one of the greatest goals in World Cup history. Saeed Al-Owairan sprints across the length of the field to score an unforgettable goal, helping the Saudi team advance to the second round for the first time ever.
