Greatest World Cup Moments of the 21st Century

The World Cup has shaped the imagination of an entire generation, including mine. As someone who turns football moments into cartoons, I always return to the scenes that defined this century. These are the moments that became global symbols — images that still live in our collective memory.

Here are the greatest World Cup moments of the 21st century, the ones that inspired millions of fans and shaped how we remember each tournament:

• Zidane’s headbutt in the 2006 final, a shocking moment that instantly became one of the most iconic images in football history.             

• Brazil’s 7-1 collapse against Germany in 2014, a night that stunned the world and created one of the most unforgettable score lines ever. 

  
  
  

• Emiliano Martinez’s last-minute save in the 2022 final, a moment that saved a nation’s dream and instantly became legendary.

  
  
  

• Luis Suarez’s bite in 2014, a chaotic scene that turned into a global meme within minutes.

  
  
  

• Suarez’s handball against Ghana in 2010, a dramatic and controversial moment that changed the entire tournament.

  
  
  

• Ronaldo’s famous haircut in 2002, a bizarre and unforgettable look that became a symbol of that World Cup.

  
  
  

• Robin van Persie’s flying header in 2014, one of the most beautiful and visually iconic goals of the modern era.

  
  
  

• Andrés Iniesta’s winning goal in the 2010 final and his tribute to Dani Jarque, a moment filled with emotion and meaning.

  
  
  

• The drama of Korea versus Italy in 2002, with Totti’s red card becoming one of the most debated decisions of the century.

  
  
  

• Messi lifting the World Cup in 2022 wearing the bisht, an image that became much larger than football and instantly went global.

  
  
  

These moments are more than highlights. They are stories, emotions, and snapshots of a football era I grew up watching and later started illustrating in my own style.

The World Cup: Heroes and beautiful moments

What makes the World Cup different from any tournament? 

For me I started to watch football in 1990 during Italia 90, believing in Diego Maradona, amazed by Roger Milla's celebration and watching Lothar Matthäus lifting the trophy. 

I felt in love with Italy after seeing Roberto Baggio's skill, style and his boney tail. I forgave his penalty miss in the 1994 World Cup, he is Baggio at the end. Bebeto's celebration and tribute to his baby was unforgettable. Saeed Al-Owairan goal on Belgium gave the Arab world a moment of that they create do miracles too.  

All of these colorful moments continued tournament after tournament. Zidane and Ronaldo were at the top of the world and heroes of a new era. Iniesta's goal at the 2010 final was a big moment for Spain's history, and i have witnessed Klose marking himself as all time world cup top scorer. While Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo I'm preparing myself to see their last dance. Mbappe represent the future for me.

As a fan of course I read and watched moments that happened while i wasn't born from other legends. Pele, Moore, Beckenbauer, Muller, Cruyff, Rossi, Tardelli and much more.
