South Africa, 01 July 2010: In Pictures Top 10 Goals of World Cup 2010 so far, with details.

10. THOMAS MULLER
Thomas Mueller scored his first international goal with aplomb after wisely stopping his run to get rid of two Australian defenders and then unleashing a lethal shot to make it 3-0 for Germany.

 

9. INIESTA
One of the most deft touches seen in the World Cup saw Andres Iniesta place the ball beautifully behind the net from outside the box against Chile.

 

8. CARLOS TEVEZ
A power shot from the Manchester City striker from the edge of the box against Mexico is Argentina’s goal of the World Cup so far.

 

7. WESLEY SNEIJDER
Wesley Sneijder’s powerful right-foot shot could allow Japan goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima only a deflection into the net.

5. MESUT OEZIL
A left-footed killer shot when Germany was under tremendous to score to qualify makes Mesut Oezil’s goal perhaps one of the most important goals of the World Cup.

 

4. ARJEN ROBBEN
It was the first start of the tournament and the first goal for Robben. The Bayern Munich player ran on to a long through ball from Wesley Sneijder, turned and slammed in a left-footed shot past Jan Mucha in the Slovakia goal.

 

3. KEISUKE HONDA
The free kick of the tournament came from Japan’s enigmatic striker Keisuke Honda who drove the ball from 30 yards into the back of the Danish goal.

1. MAICON
Brazil’s first goal of the World Cup and so far the best there has been. The full back ripped one from almost a zero angle to score one of the most unbelievable goals that you will ever see.
