I'm just stat padding tbh
tbh I can't say for sure, like I can with the mexico goal. Could be a couple more than 2 simply because he was far out and the ball curved a lot and just barely stayed in front of goal. If I were to try, I'm sure out of the first few that most would either not curve enough, not stay in net, or stay in, but not veer far enough right to barely stay in.
It's a combination of both, tbh. The setting it happened in certainly elevated the goal, but it wasn't as unspectacular as you portray it to be.
It's not like he bicycle kicked the goal into an open net, he was able to beat both the goalie and 2 defenders on the line. This makes the goal better even though the setup for the kick itself was relatively 'easy'.
All you have to do is listen to the commentator.. to say it's not a great goal is dumb, of course it's a great goal.. it was off a corner ... and it was deflected, he really didn't have that much time to think about it.. even with the ball taking that arch.
Anyways I'll just go ahead and end this thread:
[/thread]
The fact that it was off a corner adds nothing.
The fact that it was deflected also adds nothing. The deflection allowed the ball to arrive to him more slowly, which actually helps.
Honestly resistanze is probably most accurate when he said:
I admit I initially portrayed it as slightly below it's true value (lol), but the amount of value added to the goal given the background exceeds the amount I underrated it by (lol...if that makes sense).It's a combination of both, tbh.

tbh, I made 3 (or was it 4?) of those in just one game. No big deal really.
When you said this:
was it in reference to Rooney's or Mexican Player's?That was a great goal... this one was better though, IMO:
Altintop's goal that won goal of the year:
Looks like a POS compared to Hallenius' goal imo (2nd place), but still a cracker.
now, seriously, you can't tell me you never scored a goal like this one.
When you get the ball coming down and you nail the volley just right AND ends up going into some ridiculously perfect corner of the net (completely unintended to put it there, but I digress).
Yeah this kind of goal is pretty common (in terms of spectacular goals).
Out of 20 tries: 12 times this shot sails over the crossbar, 3 times the player whiffs, 4 times the ball gets kicked into the ground, and 1 time you score Altintop's goal.
Basically.
Not really. In 20 tries you don't score Altintop's goal. Maybe in 100 or 200, but if you're only attempting 20, the few ones that do go in surely wouldn't be line drives right to the exact corner.
Right now, at 37 and balding, it probably would be 1 in 200...
Back in the day though, 1 in 20 sounds about right... he really wasn't that close to the post, and he really didn't aim to put it where it went anyways.
BTW, did any of you guys played professionally in here?
Man, 37 and balding has nothing to do with being able to finish that goal, only to actually compete to be the player (Altintop) to have the chance to finish it. Being overweight on the other hand mayRight now, at 37 and balding, it probably would be 1 in 200...
Back in the day though, 1 in 20 sounds about right... he really wasn't that close to the post, and he really didn't aim to put it where it went anyways.. The analysis I gave though relates to what my first 20 attempts would likely be like, but I'm not too skilled anymore as I haven't played compe ively since I was in 5th grade.
I stopped playing once a week with friends about 5 years ago, a little after I got married (surprise
I wish I kept up with it..eh, well I guess there's pros and cons. I remember I grew tired of it when I was about 11, but it had less to do with the actual sport than other factors, such as going to practice, none of my friends played, and generally not very popular in the US. I was already getting more and more into basketball at the time and that became the rout the took, playing basketball and American football.
It took me away from the game, but it's not a big deal because I'm still young and can play pick up games for years to come. At least this way I got exposed to more sports. The only regret I have is not being able to see myself reach my potential, but I don't think I had great chances of playing professionally so it's not a huge issue
My dad wanted me to do school and what not. I recall seeing the writing on the wall when I tried out for River. Delem was in charge, and there were easily 150 kids there just one day. I still remember the tryout was in the mini stadium in Ramsay & Blanco Encalada, a few blocks away from El Monumental. Gallardo was trying out that day.
At any rate, dads from the kids were swarming Delem pitching their sons. My dad wasn't even there
And now for the king of bicycle kicks (seriously, I can't recall any other striker with as many "makes" in the professional ranks)...
The guy was simply an unparalleled striker...
None other than Hugo Sanchez
Even Cristiano Ronaldo recognizes Hugo's choice strike...
for comparison's sake...
As was this one...This one was pretty good...
In honor of Jurgen making his coaching debut for the US tonight:
