Worldie

British slang for a world-class goal. The kind that makes you stop what you're doing and rewatch it five times. Usually involves long range, insane technique, or both - think volleys from 30 yards, bicycle kicks, solo runs through entire defences. A true worldie ends up in highlight reels for decades.
Zinedine Zidane's volley in the 2002 Champions League final is the ultimate worldie - meeting Roberto Carlos's looping cross with a perfectly-timed left-footed volley that flew into the top corner from outside the box.
