Whistling To Their Own Tune (1982)
One of the strangest FIFA World Cup moments was during the Kuwait-France match in 1982. With a 3-1 lead, French player Alain Giresse, scored a fourth goal as Kuwaiti players didn’t budge from their defensive positions. The team then protested that they had heard a whistle blown and therefore didn’t react. The referee disallowed the goal after the Kuwaiti FA president ordered his team off the field. In the end France won 4-1.

Going, Going, Gone! (1994)
American singer and actress, Diana Ross, was given the golden opportunity to score a goal at the opening of the FIFA World Cup in USA. Jogging up to the penalty spot, mike in hand, she pushed forward, shot… and MISSED! But it didn’t prevent the star from continuing on and gracing the packed stadium with her vocal performance.
