The Beautiful Game

You don't have to be a football fanatic or support Tottenham Hotspurs of the English Premier League, but you will enjoy this piece of animation of English player Gareth Bale's goals over two legs in the Champions League round of sixteen against Inter Milan, the defending champions. As a result, Tottenham are through to the quarterfinals.

The animation is by Richard Swarbrick.

* Tottenham has the African players Steven Pienaar, Sebastian Bassong and Benoit Assou-Ekotto under contract.
