Yeah I knew it was gonna be this one, just goes to show one guy can win you a game. Luckily there are not too many of these type of guys around.

I still like Suarez the most though!

simpsons did it

Just saw this too. Sick.

This is probably the best end to an inauguration game ever.

he is definitely the master :)

fukken bicicleta

Caulker goes off, England concedes 3 goals in 30 mins.

qatar buy ibra Paris ))) zlatan win )

Just saw it on tv, it had everything! Backflip, well executed, def guy not able to stop it :D he may not be Messi but he certainly is master of scoring memorable goals.

Also, the ball doesn't hit the ground before crossing the goal line :-)

Yeah, either that was the result of raw prediction or luck but probably both!

pff.. he'll be the reason why Austria won't qualify for 2014

only him? :P

yes I actually believe so

Austria has 10 top players who play important roles in their clubs (not unlike 1998), only missing a really good goalie, but finally having a great coach was a big step for the team

before we got Koller, the strong old-schooler fraction always wanted one of "them" as a manager, but the only achievement those guys have was being decent [bold]player[/bold] in 1970

am i the only one who doesnt value this goal

assuming this is the backflip no goalie in the goal meh goal

fgt

I'm with you, didn't find it that incredible

yeah it's a standard goal

ok

it's not standard, but nothing I value much

Well, just look at how high he goes with his foot, the perfect power to address the ball into the goal(30 meters!), nontheless the fact he's moving in the opposite direction of the ball and that it doesn't bounce.

I mean, if you played football you'd know it's extremely difficult to score this goal.

I'm curious now, could you post a goal that has value for you?

dont think it's extremely difficult, just rare to get a chance to try it + he almost even missed the goal :D!

watched only the first frag but probably all of the goals in that one > zlatan meh-one!

well but you are comparing it with some of the best goals.
i mean, you can't divide them only between "best" and "meh", don't you? :)
I don't think this is one of the best goals but surely it's very good because it's something new and difficult to execute.

yea this goal was ok but doesn't deserve the hype it's getting

at first i was underwhelmed aswell, but i think we've been spoilt by fifa and pes more than most of us want to admit.

the cool thing about ibra's goal is that...

a) he was under pressure and had to react quickly. the keeper basically made a baseball move: head ball somewhere and run like hell, plus there was a defender already closing in.

b) ibra had his back to the goal and still calculated everything perfectly. a bit shorter and the defender would have caught the ball, a bit to the right and it would've went out, if the ball touches the ground it might've bounced somewhere else too.

c) i saw people posting youtube vids of other bicycle kick goals, but this one is different. it wasn't a straight volley (like that famous rivaldo one) but a perfectly timed looping ball that made its way directly into the goal. that's kind of hard to do standing on both feet facing the goal, but pretty intense to do like this.

He probably hasnt touched a ball in his whole life otherwise you would know how fucking hard it is to pull something like that off. Especially over that distant ...

you may value it a lot but I don't, I think it's cool but overrated =)

you ever played football in your life? :/

10 years back, yes! watched every game of wc 2001 or 2000 :* brazil won and there was this quickest goal of the history! was it 11 or 14 seconds?

Fastest goal? Check out this:

mood killer for white dudes =8D

you are WRONG!

well, obviously because it's getting the hype, huH? :LLL

The goal is amazing and deserves the hype, because it shows great gamesense from Zlatan.
You could put many players in similar spot and they couldnt pull even a try like that I think.
And ofc its even more awesome, that it goes in as well!

goes in barely xD

he shot all 4 goals in one game ... so this beeing the 4th does deserve the hype.

he solo'd the match. ibra cadabra

so boss :p

Well the goal was sure great and all that but when it comes to such goals, i think this one demanded way more skill and technique + there's a goalkeeper in goal and defenders around..

and this one? :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHhbmp80yC4

That one is incredible not only because of the goal itself, but because it was the last minute of the last match of the season and Barça needed that goal to secure a spot in the Champions League.

Yeah, that makes it way more remarkable.

Not available in my country?!?!??!?!?!?! fuck you england!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lucky fucker, now his ego is twice the size of the moon :x

nice goal.

Well it's not just the goal its the fact that it's the 4th of the match he scored... :D

is this fifa or pes?

these are what i consider crazy:

also add this to the mix

yeah, of course. i was linking more recent/underlooked stuff

here's Seedorf's ballistic missile in decent quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRFnsRPOQu8 (for some reason, even on TV this goal was shown in abysmal .gif quality, i'm glad that's not the only recording available with this insane shot)

Ibrakadabra!!!

A different kind of crazy goal:



edit: also, this happened yesterday :p
