The feat mimicked a goal by Diego Armando Maradona 20 years ago, 2-0 against England in Mexico's World Cup of 1986. Many have held this goal to be the best in the history of football. That's open to discussion now, and you may judge by yourselves thanks to Internet, and the flash video players that abound on the web.
Both stadiums where those goals were scored, Nou Camp in Barcelona and Estadio Azteca in Mexico DF are quite visible in the satellite views, so we just drawed the routes both players actually run over the field to score those goals... This is Messi's race towards the goalkeeper and this is Maradona's.
In the standard view that opens, it's a pity, but the automatically calculated zoom level is too close, as the routes are quite tiny by earthly standards, but if you just zoom out one level, you'll see the green fields.
You may also open the KML link below the maps to see it in Google Earth. Of course, there was no need for this mashup to be created, a geographical representantion of the best goals ever, but sometimes it's fun to have a casual friday.
BTW, we've introduced a new way to add lines/routes to your Tagzania account. The option above the maps, that checkbox to "add an item on click", when used, will now prompt two options on the map, post a new item (for points) or post a new route.
Some tech difficulties don't let us yet use that option on route maps, but you may try with tags, user pages or individual point locations.
