"A Goal That Has Stuck In Your Mind"

This may fail, as personally, I can't really remember one to be honest.
Well, there is one actually, but the details of it are pants.

Anyway.

It doesn't necessarily need to be aesthetically pleasing, or a stunning 40 yard top corner screamer.

But has there been a goal that has stuck in your memory in ages, whether it be for the sheer suspense under which it was scored, eg, 90th minute cup final goal, or whether it was just a phenomenal goal.

One I can remember was near the beginning of this season - Tacchinardi for Juve against can't remember who.
All I remember is that it was the utmost driving snow, and it was one hell of a shot.
Some fair distance out, he just smacked it, and it rose up and up without dipping, and flew into the top corner.

Magnifíque. Dunno the Italian for it.

So, gogogo.

Would you like to explain to me how this was impossible to do? Was there a wall blockking his pathway to the ball? You get the idea...how was it impossible?

This is not the besy goal ever, and not even Beckham's best either. This was a hit and hope. He thought it might go in but he didn't expect it too.

His best ever , and in my mind the best goal ever, was the free kick in the dying moments of the world cup qualifier in 2001 against greece. Not exactly the most specactulergoal but he was under so much pressure and doctors and scientists have reported that his kick of the ball was practically impossible to do.

Oh my word. Just seen it before. How hard did he hit that?

The Beckham half way goal.

And a series of goals when Man U in the champ league came from behind to win. It was 0-1 and they won 2-1 or summet I cant remember!

Thing with Carlos though is that he misses with his shots/freekicks over 90% of the time. He's bound to score an amazing goal every few years just down to averages. But there is no denying the bend on that ball was a bit special.

Bending a ball is one of those things some people just have a knack for. When I was younger and used to play footy with mates, I could score direct from corners quite often.

That Giggs goal was amazing, coming from an Arsenal fan that is impressive. But my own personal favourite has to be either the worlds fastest goal, from kick off, 3 seconds; or one scored by.. um... it was in a European match, it was an Italian club and the goal was an overhead kick from 40 yards out.

just a few words.

henry. highbury. man u. swivel-volley. BACK OF THE NET.

:D

technically brilliant. still remember it after years. thought i'd just remember neo and a few others.

How can we so-easily forget Roberto Carlos' halfway-around-the-world-and-back free-kick against France back in Le Tournoi of '97/98???

Absolutley incredible! He can bend a ball like no-one else!
How he did that, though... I still don't think anyone's quite managed to "suss" it...!

He hits the ball like there's no tommorow, but even with such an intense amount of power in the strike, it's incredible to think that a ball can bend like it did AND end-up between the 2 posts.


Maybe it was wind-assisted? But, I bet even gale-force winds would struggle to 'grab' one of Carlos' strikes!


I'd like to see him do it again, sometime... I doubt anyone else will ever be able to!
