The best of the best from the World Cup have come together and put on a show over the last month. Incredible passing, defending, movement off the ball, tactical application, and of course, scoring goals. The end of the World Cup is close, but that hasn’t stopped us from bringing the best goals from the past week. Here are the best World Cup goals from week four.
5. Catalina Usme – Colombia

Colombia was the Cinderella team of this year’s tournament, getting farther than everyone expected. This was the goal that helped them reach the quarterfinal. It was pure class from Catalina Usme under pressure.
The cross comes into Usme from at least 30 yards across the field. Usme’s awareness is elite because she knows the defender will over-pursue after missing the ball, and her first touch to beat her was perfect. By the time Blackwood turns around, it’s over. Usme calmly curled the ball into the far corner, and individual plays like those were the difference for Colombia in this tournament.
4. Alessia Russo – England
What a clinical…
