[edit] Golden Goal / Bierhoff
The text says: As the game went into extra time, it was Bierhoff who scored the Golden Goal (after a mistake from the Czech goalkeeper, and the first Golden Goal in the history of international football) to give Germany another major tournament success. As far as I know, this is not correct (or, at least, misleading): according to the German-speaking Wikipedia-article about the Golden Goal, the first Golden Goal in FIFA-history was shot in the quarterfinals of the 1993 FIFA World Youth Championship. It was Australia's 2:1-victory over Uruguay, the goal was shot by Anthony Carbone. Thomasnimmesgern 20:54, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- International football would suggest senior matches though, as opposed to Youth matches. Maybe it could be worded a little clearer - although it may still be incorrect even if you discount the Youth match. blankfrackis 14:10, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
