    BBC Sport counts down 100 of the greatest World Cup moments, as the 2014 tournament in Brazil draws nearer.

    Today looks back to one of the most controversial incidents in World Cup history, when West German goalkeeper Harald Schumacher fouled France's Patrick Battiston during the 1982 semi-final in Seville.

    The defender was knocked unconscious and had to be given oxygen on the pitch, but referee Charles Corver only awarded a goal kick to the Germans rather than a penalty to France.

    Schumacher did not receive a booking from the referee and went on to play a decisive role in the penalty shootout as West Germany reached the final. Watch the video here (UK users only).

    Manchester United were comprehensively outplayed for 85 minutes as Liam Brady pulled the strings for Arsenal, who surged into a two-goal lead thanks to first-half strikes from Brian Talbot and Frank Stapleton. When Gordon McQueen bundled home an 85th-minute goal for United it looked like little more than a consolation, but remarkably Sammy McIlroy ended a mazy run with a cool finish to equalise in the 88th minute. However, that was not the end of the drama as Arsenal's shattered players picked themselves off the turf and launched one last attack, which saw Brady cross to the far post for Alan Sunderland to slide in an 89th-minute winner.

But I think, understandably, it is time to start to look towards the future. I know people have said it is a gamble but I think it is brave from Roy."
