The break just after in Bakambu 83 is perfect

You don't want perfection though imo, you want a goal you can't see coming. Zlatan is king of these.

veselinovic is the one i came here to post. very smoothly done by veselinovic. has no right to stick that in.

sorry.
would like to see the bastos free kick again, technique seemed v unusual.
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Saturday, 23 March 2013 20:36 (eleven years ago) link
that hassli one needed andy gray
bastos fk definitely a goodun, he had a few decent cunts last year

3, 2, 1,
"a few decent cunts" - starring michel bastos

the music and the lack of replays really makes this like having goal after goal rammed into your face
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Saturday, 23 March 2013 20:39 (eleven years ago) link
yep, i thought for the first few i'd want replays but no it keeps you on your toes

belhanda!

proto nevillegasm in the oscar goal at 8.50
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Saturday, 23 March 2013 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
i've scored that allesandrini goal too btw gfy
― mister borges (darraghmac), Saturday, 23 March 2013 20:45 (eleven years ago) link
that oscar goal is my fave epl one tbh
like all of these bicycle kicks are dangerous play
― mister borges (darraghmac), Saturday, 23 March 2013 20:46 (eleven years ago) link
that last sideways shuffle from neymar at #32 is something
― mister borges (darraghmac), Saturday, 23 March 2013 20:49 (eleven years ago) link
34, sorry
― mister borges (darraghmac), Saturday, 23 March 2013 20:50 (eleven years ago) link
he shuffled into the next goal, special talent imo
that's that done - now what?
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Saturday, 23 March 2013 20:51 (eleven years ago) link
idk i'm watching em again
jo has some cheek running off celebrating after #17
― mister borges (darraghmac), Saturday, 23 March 2013 20:53 (eleven years ago) link
Oscar goal was CL, you wouldn't get anything that sublime in the epl. Maybe from Suarez.

best commentary is #78 obv
― mister borges (darraghmac), Saturday, 23 March 2013 20:59 (eleven years ago) link
who's this kid meza at 73
― mister borges (darraghmac), Saturday, 23 March 2013 21:00 (eleven years ago) link
yamada at 69 is the one tho, callin it
― mister borges (darraghmac), Saturday, 23 March 2013 21:02 (eleven years ago) link
belhanda is the best. can't remember what number tho.
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Saturday, 23 March 2013 21:04 (eleven years ago) link
no 56, i had it down when i started thread above but i've changed my mind
― mister borges (darraghmac), Saturday, 23 March 2013 21:07 (eleven years ago) link
concur that trying to plough through this whole thing and then pick a fav is completely numbing. On a third viewing, and my #1 is changing every 3 or 4 goals right now. Jozy Altidore at 70 is a fucking doozy, he really makes a mug of that second defender
― Windsor Davies, Saturday, 23 March 2013 21:37 (eleven years ago) link
actually that's 71, soz
I know what you mean WD, I'm watching that YouTube while trying to compile a Miles Davis ballot by skipping through spotify, and it's basically the same thing. I feel like I'm single-handedly proving that modern life = no room for contemplation.
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 23 March 2013 21:42 (eleven years ago) link
There was none of this at the White Horse Final, they had two goals and only Abide With Me to sing, and they were happy.
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 23 March 2013 21:44 (eleven years ago) link
Gotta try not to gripe though, most def. would not trade these enlightened times w/ youtube, spotify and the like for the days when I only owned Up The Bracket, Enema of the State and the 8 Mile OST on CD and my footy highlights came from my VHS copies of Gary Lineker World Cup 11 and Aston Villa - '97-'98 in review. These are the days of miracle and wonder, my friend.
― Windsor Davies, Saturday, 23 March 2013 21:53 (eleven years ago) link
ok, just saw them all again. mealla (#2) the best one. just...how. why.

oofters, touch of the PES about that
― cozen, Sunday, 24 March 2013 23:17 (eleven years ago) link
It's a fair cop; that's up there behind Ibby's imo
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 24 March 2013 23:18 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, definitely a stunner. Like Ibra's bicycle kick, it has that element of joyful spontaneity about it. Dunno how I feel about it as goal of the season tho. Rare as a hen's tooth and clearly a wonderful physical feat, but perhaps lacking a little of the wtf magic of some of those others? idk. not so open to that criticism as ur average bifter from the halfway line, which just happens too often to be worth anything more than a shrug these days, but i don't think it beats some of the higher-ups on that other vid
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 25 March 2013 00:24 (eleven years ago) link
would it effortlessly sum up the spirit of ILF if I said my prevailing thought (esp in the first half of the vid) was that there are a lot of crappy keepers out there

WD otm tho, this is still a numbing watch... starts feeling a bit trippy after a while. when you see this many at this rate you (or I) start to break them down into genres (long range cuntings/ridic pinpoint multiple passing moves/unrepeatable circus tricks) and it seems kinda off to try and compare one type to another. this prolly says more about me tho

Feeling that. Also, you look for ever-flimsier excuses to discount them:
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 26 March 2013 10:51 (eleven years ago) link
yeah it's like what I imagine handling hopelessly oversubscribed job applications to be like, where you end up shitcanning candidates on the basis of a displeasing signature
