>The announcers on ESPN Cable television said that the three points scored by Liverpool were the fastest three ever scored. That may be the case but in my book requires qualification! Not to take steam out of Liverpool’s whistle but I was thinking of George (Georgie) Best, when he played for the San Jose Earthquakes. He scored three goals within 90 seconds of playing time and I saw it!

Hi Tom

They were GOALS - not points :-)
Sad George Best - a shadow of his former self, and busy destroying his second liver.
I don't know how much you followed the match but Milan scored 1st within the 1st 50 seconds!

>I like Pele and George Best. July 4th 1977 at the Los Angeles Coliseum the Aztecs (represented by George Best) and the New York Cosmos (represented by Pele) were playing a game of Soccer. I took a number of photographs and one I love is of George Best and Pele both flying through the air in a horizontal position feet first towards a ball about 6 feet in the air. Each one was about 3 feet from the ball when I snapped the photo. Pele got there first!

You wanna hawk that photo around! I imagine that a pic 2 of the best and most famous players ever in the world, in such an action shot, would fetch a tidy sum. I'd be interested in seeing a scan of it if you could (no, I'm not after your royalties).

>The Cosmos had just acquired Franz Beckenbauer (Captain of the 1974 World Cup Champions from Germany. Beckenbauer did not play that day as he had just arrived by plane from Germany moments before the game started. Beckenbauer sat the game out just below where we were sitting.

>Perhaps Soccer will one day be popular in the United States as it is in the rest of the world, but I would not hold my breath on that one! :)

Well the first thing you guys have got to do, is stop calling it "soccer" (short for "Association Football" BTW). It's Football, i.e. a ball kicked with the foot. What you guys play should be called "carry ball".
