Lionel Messi is live proof that Argentinians are goal-scoring machines. But an incredible football fact is that on December 26, 1998, one day after Christmas, Ricardo Olivera created history by scoring a goal in 2.8 seconds. To put it in context, a regular human can speak 7.5 words in 3 seconds. "We just had the kick-off," the commentators must have exclaimed, as the scoreboard read 1-0. Olivera beat the mark set by English footballer Colin Cowperthwaite in 1979, when he scored in 3.5 seconds against Kettering.
