There was a time when, if you asked us what someone meant when saying that a #6 passed to a #10, who then slotted a #9 through to goal, we would have been able to explain it about as well as we could the plot of a vintage French film noir.

Looking back as 2014 draws to a close, it's hard to pick a favorite moment in soccer.

There is nothing like seeing kids meet their idols. These six young goalkeepers arrived for what they thought to be an interview for a position to be goalkeeper for a soccer club. But what they ran into was one of the best goalkeepers in the world. 

Iker Casillas joined in on the prank as he interviewed the little goalkeepers and in one instance was competing for a spot on the club against the little tykes.
