[TAL]

He scored.

[Helvete]

He scored.

Yeah, it was a good penalty.

[Echewta]

I'm lost. What about this is amazing?

That song makes me want to pour hot coffee on myself.

He kicked it with his foot and it went into the goal.

[Guy Incognito]

(y)silky skills, not sure he would have tried it at 0-0 though. soft penalty mind you.

[TurdBerglar]

what's so great about it

[abcdefz]

Add me to the list of folks who don't get it.

[TurdBerglar]

i think it's just the amazing fact that it's soccer and a point was actually scored?

a point? are you winding me up.

its not clear what he does until you see the replay. He kids the goalkeeper into thinking he was striking it with his right foot and then flicks it with his left in the same movement. Has to alter his step pattern and balance. Very difficult skill, i havent seen anybody try that before. Very cool.

[TurdBerglar]

so he broke his ankles

big deal

if some NFL kicker did that kicking a field point you would have creamed your knickers

well something tells me that you wouldnt have been impressed unless he scored the penalty with his little fella.

[TurdBerglar]

i'd be more impressed if he did that on the fly in actually game play.

instead he got to plot and think about it and take his time.

probably easier to do on the run. penalties are lot harder than they look and he would have looked a right twat if he'd have fluffed it. penalties are about making your mind up quickly and he's got big balls to decide to do that

[TurdBerglar]

ok

[Guy Incognito]

ok

tremendous

[checkyourprez]

defiantly a sick pk. nasty degree of difficulty. ive seen guys try it and do it fucking around in practice but in a game its a different story.


people who don't get it also wouldn't get whats so sick about a lot of subtle football touches. people who really know whats going on notice and appreciate a sick deft touch in a game where it would just go over a persons head who is new or unfamiliar to the game.


while on the topic of cool football acts here's guti's finest moment in a real madrid uni (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDJljxCOb44). this is so dirty. its not only the sick skill needed to do this, but the vision, imagination and creativity all coupled into 1 that separates footy from more pedestrian sports.

[Planetary]

haha that's sick. the best thing about that video though is thomas graveson...

people who didn't notice, watch the replays. if you still don't get it, i guess that's why football's not for you.

ha for real i defiantly did a double take when i was watching that. i was like wtf oooo yeaaa tg did play for madrid. funny to think it.

[Planetary]

yeah i forget it sometimes. the manager used to play him in defensive midfield though. maybe he was meant to sign lee carsley (http://img.skysports.com/08/05/218x298/Lee_Carsley_857780.jpg) from the same club but accidentally got gravesen

liquid football

[Freebasser]

Shit! Did you see that?!

[Echewta]

I creamed my knickers before seeing it. My bad.

premature celebration.
