Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

[Majestic]

you're right about zidane's goal, the way i see it that was much harder to score than cris's, i think people are easily impressed with the overkick, to each his own i guess... i agree it's a great goal i just don't believe it's THAT great, might be biased though

and which one is cristiano the overkick scoring machine or the rugbying a sitter 10 mins later ?

Ronaldo's goal was harder to score than Zidane's volley. When it comes to over bicycle kicks, majority of people miss hit the ball, when they do hit the ball they hit it to the ground, many lose sight of the ball and in effect don't connect with it well. Volleys are hard but much easier to do. Zidane's volley was legendary but the space he had allowed him to time to watch the ball, perfect his stance and hit it cleanly. Ronaldo managed to score a bicycle kick with way less space than Zidane's volley.

i know this is from last week but barca's defending was beyond awful

 

[dem bath salts]

They are both top 2 for me. Perhaps even 1a and 1b

We are blessed.

I think it's 1a and 1b. Its really what aesthetically pleases you. Both GOATS

This still pisses me off.

Sevilla had so many chances to put them away, and couldn’t get it done

Ronaldo is my sporting hero

Fergie the GOAT, would be walking the league if he was still around

I don't understand how it's not THAT great. Ronaldo ran back towards his own goal to get in position to bicycle the damn ball out of the air first time with perfect placement. That shyt aint suppose to happen because momentum aint on your side. Factor in who is in goal and the team he is playing and it makes it THAT great.

Actually the momentum is on your side since he's meeting the ball.
I honestly think this goal is harder to score:


A scissor kick When the ball is coming from the same direction youre running in is harder than meeting the ball. Great goal nonetheless

Zizou's goal was harder because it was on his weaker foot. Zizou was a 2 footed player but was primarily right footed. So to do that with his left foot to the top corner. It was also the winning goal of a CL final which speaks to its importance and being on the biggest stage.

 

[phillycavsfan]

The Ronaldo goal was great, don't get me wrong, but was it even better than the Mandzukic goal from last year?

 

[Bboystyle]

Why does it matter if its better then so and so goal? Why u nikkas always comparing and complaining?

It was a great goal from one of the goats in a big game. Leave it at that

Zlatan v. England goal will forever be GOAT

Zlatan v. England goal will forever be GOAT

It's is a great goal, but...

It loses points for being in a friendly, tbh. Now if he had bought that same energy vs England a few months earlier in the Euros, then yeah, but nah.
