Beckham 70 yarder!

kmart6

Not half as good as his one for United...but I'd say the Americans prob think it is the best thing ever.....'oh my god....how can he kick a ball that far'(said in an annoying american accent)

Chong

Xavi6

True True, I suppose its harsh of me to say meh, but Beckhams goal against Wimbledon all those years was magical.

Xavi6

This one is better -

I know that,that's wh I said it in the OP!

That one is nearly identical,give a few yards,he get's better elevation on it though!

Why is one better than the other.

Both shots from distance, into an empty net.

kryogen

simple really, because one came from relatively unknown "common" footballer who everyone loves to see doing well and the other came from football superstar who is easy to hate

bohsman

McCanns is better because everyone knows Beckham is well capable of it while most Bohs fans will have been in shock to see a bad excuse for a footballer do something right.

Harsh but fair

kmart6

Wouldn't say on'es better than another,there practically identical!

estebancambias

The only difference is that the first commentator is a lot better.

Mitch Connor

i think beckham was under less pressure, had more time to steady himself too. easier chance for him imo.

kmart6

Both goals didn't have an affect on the outcome of the game though!

ShaneU

Beckham still plays football?

davyjose

It's the kind of goal the yanks paid their 25 million a year (or whatever) for. It's the kind of goal Americans will love. I don't know what the keeper was at, but it was a ... neat goal.

Sorry, should have phrased that differently: What the f*ck was the keeper at? Thinkin he's Peter Schmeichel???

Lots of keepers do it when their team is losing - i'm sure I have seen van der Sar doing it.

Ok, just to clarify: I knew what the keeper was doing, it was just my way of saying it was the keeper's fault. I'll try to be less obtuse in future. :rolleyes:

Cant really blame the keeper. If a keeper goes up for a corner at the end of the game, the manager would have instructed him to do so.

Has anyone even seen a situation like that were the keeper ends up scoring ?

Era i suppose under the circumstances it wasn't so bad, end of the game and behind so nothin to lose really, other then a slightly heavier defeat. Nothing ventured nothing gained as they say!

Schmeichel has something like 14 career goals

Mark Crossley for Sheffield Wednesday against Southampton to make it 3-3 in stoppage time!

Palop scoring in extra time against Shaktar D in the UEFA cup, levelling the game at 2-2, forcing extra time, in which Seville went on to win 3-2... They then went on to win the tournament....

Dave!

bah, I feared it would be an open goal when I heard about it....

I'd say the Americans will eat it up though!

Corben Dallas

That boy still has it.

Ah now here...hitting the target from 70 yards takes precicion and accuracy which is great skill. Could easily have gone wide. GK or not, thats impressive.

Said target is a good 24 foot wide though. If you don't panic and have a strong leg, there's no reason why you should miss.

It's much like getting on the green with your first shot on a par 3.

Not going to seem like 24 feet from that far away!

Alonso has scored from his own half twice for Liverpool. Whats particularly impressive is that it was with different feet.
