This is the goal that billions of people around the world will talk about for years to come.

After conceding the first goal in the game, Robin van Persie led the comeback and opened the scoring for the Dutch team with an unorthodox header as Netherlands went on to destroy Spain 5-1 .

After the match, Van Persie said, "Considering the circumstances, it must be the goal of my career."

The Internet certainly thinks so.
