Which was Diego Forlans fastest goal:

Belgium 1990
Venezuela 2006
France 2002

I have searched and searched and I think the answer may be Venezuela in the qualifying rounds of the 2006 world cup where he scored against them in 2 minutes but can someone please confirm thanks.

Crin, I still cannot find that match I was searching this morning for at least 20 minutes, and got seriously fed up. I think Dawny Lou is partly right. He didn't start playing for Uruguay until 2002 (wiki) but only played 2 games, one against senegal and the other against saudi arabia. So, on that basis, it has to be Venezuela 2006. I don't like this competition any more

Today's question:
WHAT IS THE FASTEST SEA ANIMAL?
Sailfish (wiki says it's our good old friend the sailfish - 68mph)
Pinguin (I presume this is a penguin - top speed 25mph)
Delphine (I presume this is a dolphin - top speed 20mph)

Today's question:
WHAT MINUTE DID THEOFANIS GEKAS SCORE HIS FASTEST GOAL FOR GREECE?
15th minute against Hungary in the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifier.
4th minute against Lativa in the 2010 World Cup qualifier. (Greece vs Latvia (5:2) - in Athens.
1:0 (Theofanis Gekas 4))
25th minute against Israel in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

*Slightly off topic but nevertheless related. Found this whilst googling for the answer:
In the match between England and Croatia at Wembley, Tony Henry made a comical error whilst singing the national anthem of Croatia. He meant to sing "Mila kuda si planina" which roughly tanslates into English as "You know my dear how we love your mountains." He incorrectly sang "Mila kura si planina" which can be interpreted as "My dear, my penis is a mountain."

WHEN DID I SCORE MY FASTEST GOAL FOR SWITZERLAND? (video is Johan Volanthen, striker for Switzerland)
In 2004 against France. (scored in the 26th minute)
In 2004 against Faroe Islands. (Volanthen scored a hat-trick, but can't find times of goals, but one of them must be before 26 minutes (?))
In 2008 against Czech Republic. (didn't score)

He scored his first goal in 10 mins in the Switzerland v Faroe Islands game so I agree with plush.
