Nogomet je nedvojbeno najpopularniji sport na svijetu, a svake četiri godine oko Svjetskog prvenstva paralizira pola čovječanstva. Svaki od igrača postaje heroj koji bez prestanka trči za loptom, ali samo rijetki to uspiju nadmašiti i ući u povijest kao najbolji. Danas slavimo nogometni festival prisjećajući se nekih od njegovih najvećih ličnosti.
