rolling amazing goal thread

ooooh

altho it does look a tiny bit flukier from the other angle

bergkamp v newcastle is still the only goal i'd call sinister though (just in case jordan doesnt know it)

like neymar's is more to do with how he managed to make that calculation at that speed whereas bergkamp's is (still to this day!) just... how do you even do that, on your left foot, in that position

the dismissive fait accompli finish then only underlines the sinisterosity

That Begkamp goal my favourite goal EVAH!!

i like how the defender's all HEY NOT FAIR.

Crikey - it turns out what happened next is Ronaldinho scored a hat trick as Flamengo came back to win 5-4.

Game had everything. We're watching the wrong league.

Neymar > Bergkamp, in this one instance.

Bergkamp on that Newcastle goal, recently:

Is it your favourite goal?
No.
Why not?
There's a lot of luck. If the defender takes one step back then it's finished. So it's not pure. The Leicester and Argentina goals were pure: when the pass came I knew what I want to do: control, ball inside, finish. With this one there was luck.

I'm with Dennis on that tbh.

Still doesn't say whether he meant it or not

If the first thought is 'I want to control the ball and pass', then I would never make that turn. But my first thought was 'I want to go to the goal and I'm going to do whatever it takes to go to the goal, no matter how the ball comes to me'. Ten yards before the ball arrived I made my decision: I'm going to turn him.
Did you think about where Dabizas was?
I knew where he was. I knew.
Did you calculate his reaction?
No, not that. But you know where the defender will be and that his knees will be bent a little, and that he will be standing a little wide, so he can't turn. And he won't expect it. The thought was, 'just flick the ball and see what happens.'

Yeah, he didn't mean it

lol what else does calculating dabizas' reaction involve other than everything he then goes on to say? knowing which eye a single tear would fall from afterwards?

i guess i get what perfectionist dennis is saying though, a gamble is still a gamble even if it's the best-gauged one ever

ha, that bergkamp goal is pretty sick -- i had never seen it before

it's so lol in that neymar goal when he goes to give his teammate that really sissy dual hi five

also, i had never heard of neymar, so i looked him up. is he gonna start at strike for brazil in the 2014 world cup, or is he still a bit too young for that?

also in reading his wikipedia, i found out that his agent sold interest on his eventual transfer fee, which i didn't know happened. pretty brilliant tho.

I was just trolling. Bergkamp made it on to my favourite players ballot, he'll be pleased with that i'm sure

I guess there's a slight chance Neymar's final touch is unintentional - he intended to send the ball around the opposite side then meet it there, but it struck his left foot while he was feinting left, and fell perfectly in his path. But I don't think so.

pretty sure he's gonna start

Brazil in 2014 will probably use some combination of Pato and Neymar up front i would have thought. They don't have much else going on at the moment

How I know the whole game clip hasn't been viewed: nobody's mentioned the penalty incident (7:07 to 9:05). Worth a watch imo.

yeah i just came back to lol at that! that second goal with the comedy neymar assist is great too. <3 neymar

fuck a beautfiul game if it means defending as bad as santos though, seriously

In June 2010, Santos rejected a £12 million bid from English Premier League team West Ham United for his services.[3]

god i forgot about this, would have been so appalling

I still lol at West Ham having Masch + Tevez at one point and being unhappy about it.

also, i had never heard of neymar, so i looked him up. is he gonna start at strike for brazil in the 2014 world cup, or is he still a bit too young for that?

Neymar is already part of the Brazil team. Front rolling four have been spoken of as being Ganso, Lucas Piazon, Pato and Neymar come 2014 but the likes of Robinho will still be in contention.

I thought Ganso was a midfield player

yah, more of the centre of the 3 in a 4-2-3-1 iirc. Def not a frwd as such.

Yeah forward in the same way that Kaka or VDV might be described as.

there's a lucas piazon now?

I hope he's alright :(

Only in the frame for .1 second on the replay = definition of poacher

Wasn't it a similar wet patch of grass that gave Torres his first Chelsea goal?

Welbeck scored a beaut at the u21s v. Israel

Wait, surely Welbeck is injured at the moment?
