It's a fair cop; that's up there behind Ibby's imo

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

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:

  • keeper off line →easy
  • went in middle of goal →shank
  • hit with leading foot →aesthetically displeasing
  • scored in friendly →actually shite

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

five years pass...
