Van Basten Euro 88 final goal

On June 25, 1988, Marco van Basten delivered a goal that would forever echo in the annals of European football history. In the final of the European Championship against the Soviet Union, the 23-year-old Dutch striker stunned the world with an audacious volley that defied belief, skill, and even a bit of physics.

The Dutch team had already taken a 1-0 lead, courtesy of Ruud Gullit, and were looking comfortable. But Van Basten, who had shown brilliant form throughout the tournament, decided to add a little magic. In the 54th minute, Arnold Mühren lofted a long cross from the left side of the pitch. The ball was high and floating, seemingly meant to buy the Dutch some time on the ball rather than set up a scoring opportunity. But Van Basten saw a chance and went for it.

As the ball descended, Van Basten launched into an almost acrobatic move, meeting it on the volley with his right foot at a sharp angle. The shot was struck so cleanly that it soared over Soviet goalkeeper Rinat Dasayev and into the far corner of the net. The crowd erupted as the ball nestled in, and Van Basten, for a moment, could only stand in disbelief. He’d just scored one of the most improbable goals in European Championship history.

That goal sealed the Netherlands' first major international trophy, with a 2-0 victory over the Soviet Union, marking an era for Dutch football and cementing Van Basten's reputation as one of the game's greats. The image of that volley—Van Basten mid-air, striking the ball with perfect technique—has become a lasting symbol of what makes football magical: the perfect mix of timing, skill, and a dash of audacity.

The Momani experience with RUBITIN

Couple of months ago my friend Lars Ørjan Nese asked me to collaborate with him on an app he created for football supporters. This app called RUBITIN derived from Rub It In.

This app is made to make it easier to get in touch and communicate with friends about football. For
example when you post a tweet on Twitter, many people who should see it does not. With this app
it is easy, fast and annoying(!) to post messages to your friends when you want to gloat on their
failure.
Failure is the key point in this. How often have you got a SMS or a Facebook message when your team have failed to get the necessary three points? With this app you can easily treat all the same supporters
of a team alike.
By default there is some standard quotes of each team. You first select the team you want to provoke. Then you select a category - and finally the quote you want to send. The receiver will get instant alert of your message, and hopefully feel a little worse.

I worked with my buddy Sameer Aburezeq to do this RUBITIN commercial. Which is featuring Liverpool captain Gerrard.

I also designed several football stars to promote the app. Check them out:

This is Roy Keane and Haaland

We will keep on posting these cartoons, so it's your time to tell us whom shall we draw :)
Norwegian super hot model Ann Mari Olsen is also a Rubitin fa, so we made her a cool T Shirt for that and gladly talked about Rubitin in her blog:

From version 1.4 (iOS) you may also post pictures of your big smile.
And - it ́s free!

Dutch Master Van Persie overtakes class of legends

Netherlands destroyed Hungary 8-1 in Amsterdam on Friday evening in one of the Oranje's more impressive displays.

Louis van Gaal's side had already qualified for World Cup 2014 but put on a show in front of expectant fans in the Amsterdam ArenA, led by Robin van Persie.

The Manchester United striker has steadily climbed the goalscoring ranks for his country, but finally overtook Patrick Kluivert at the top of the list after he netted a stellar hat-trick against Hungary.

Van Persie celebrated his 40th strike by running to Kluivert - now assistant coach to Van Gaal - before repeating the act of emotion as he went one better than the former Ajax and Barcelona hitman with his third goal on the night.
