Dr. Doug Beilstein of Ohio originated this
open-pollinated seedling of H. 'Glory' and it was registered by
Mark Zilis of Illinois in 2006. The plant grows
into a medium size hosta about a foot in height by
two feet in width with slightly unruly foliage. The leaves are
heavily corrugated and moderately wavy. It bears pale purple
flowers starting in late June. According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Its name stems from the "sudden-death", winning goal
scored in overtime of a
'World Cup' soccer game."
