This calendar year of soccer has been one of the craziest ones that has ever been seen. From the heartbreaks to the surprises, it had everything that you could have imagined. Here are the five craziest matches to watch again in 2016.
5. Chile 0-0 Argentina (Chile won 4-2 on Penalties)
Chile and Argentina faced off in a rematch of the Copa America final last year when Chile triumphed on penalties, and all the headlines was on whether Lionel Messi would finally win a trophy with Argentina in his 5th attempt at a final. While the scoreline may reflect the game was boring, it was actually very intense. Both teams had a player sent off in the first half and Gonzalo Higuain missed a clear one on one chance with the goalie to win the title. Both teams were fighting with Chile goalkeeper Claudio Bravo forced to make a stunning save from Sergio Aguero. The tie could not be broken after 120 minutes which forced another penalty shootout. History repeated itself as Chile triumphed again in a penalty shootout sending Messi into tears, and for the third consecutive year Argentina failed to triumph in a final.
4. Borussia Dortmund 8-4 Legia Warsaw
This matchup is the highest scoring match in Uefa Champions League history. It started with Legia Warsaw scoring in the opening ten minutes before Dortmund scored three goals in quick succession before Legia struck back again. By the 32nd minute Dortmund were leading 5-2 and it was the game of who could get more goals. With the last kick of the game Dortmund got their eigth goal setting a new record of most goals in a single Champions League game with twelve goals between the two sides.
3. Chile 7-0 Mexico
This match is considered one of the darkest days in Mexican soccer history. In the quarterfinal of the Copa America there was a lot of hype for both teams coming into the game. Mexico were twenty two games unbeaten in all matches, while Chile were the defending the title. The game was completely one-sided with Chile pressing really high and Mexico struggling to string passes together leading to one of the largest victories in Chilean soccer history and one of the most embarrassing defeats in Mexican soccer history with Mexico's coach Juan Carlos Osorio calling it "the biggest accident in football".
2. Liverpool 4-3 Borussia Dortmund
This game is full of drama with the first game ending in a 2-2 draw Liverpool were in big trouble when Dortmund went 2-0 up in the first ten minutes and Liverpool looking all but out. Marco Reus scored the third goal in the 57th minute that all but sealed the game, or at least that is what most people thought. Liverpool got two goals back from Phillipe Coutinho and Mamadou Sakho. Then in the the 91st minute with the last kick of the game Dejan Lovren headed in the winning goal sending the Anfield crowd from jeers of hopelessness to tears of joy.
1. Chelsea 2-2 Tottenham
Tottenham needed a win in this game otherwise Leicester City would be winning the Premier League title and completing one of the greatest stories in Premier League history. Tottenham took control of the game going 2-0 up at half time and it looked like the city of Leicester would have to hold their celebrations another week. Gary Cahill of Chelsea then scored in the 58th minute giving Chelsea hope at a comeback. Eden Hazard, the man who won player of the year last season, scored in the 83rd minute erupting Stamford Bridge and the city of Leicester into celebration.
