Goal of the Season??

How is Ronaldo's a far better goal? Figueroa's was nearly twice the distance out and flew higher into the net. The only thing favouring Ronaldo's was that he was running with the ball rather than it standing still, but IMO Figueroa's was a more spectacular and difficult to execute goal, and you're less likely to see an effort like that again than Ronaldo's.

:rolleyes:

Have you ever seen Crossbar Challenge on Soccer AM? Every week, almost every player from the lower leagues hits the ball either on target or very close to the goal. I've even hit the crossbar from 50 metres myself, while trying the same thing.:cool: This was from further out, but the same general lobbing type shot. The keeper was running back to his line.

If you got every top premiership striker and midfielder, and told them to score from 40 yards, with the keeper on the line, I sincerely doubt there'd be a similar percentage of successful shots.

Yes because the crossbar challenge replicates the middle of an EPL game to a tee :rolleyes: Figeuora had a split second to see that the keeper was off his line. Only one shot would work, and he executed it perfectly. Ronaldo's goal was brilliant, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't way better than the other. Let's just say they were equally as spectacular and equally as rare! :pac:

Indeed. I have seen many other goals i prefer to this one. Technique makes a better goal than distance. Something like that zidanesque volley darren fletcher scored earlier on in the season is infinitely more difficult a skill to pull off.

You're biased towards your own team mate. Tut tut.

Great goal by Duff, and nice lay off by Zamora. Fulham played some lovely stuff yesterday.

Yes fair play to Murphy for not overdoing it with the celebrations for first goal Scholes gave ball away so I think he was very gracious there.

It was a cracking goal alright, but it was last season

Seedorfs was better.

Clint Dempsey's from the other night was fairly special. I think it's the best goal so far this season.

Gotta agree, that was a fantastic goal last night.

CR 7 · 10-03-2010 1:24am

Two more brilliant goals from tonight,

Nasri v Porto,

And Robben v Fiorentina.

Nasri's should easily win the 'Puskas Award', it'll take something special to beat that. Obviously:rolleyes:

If they're not happy then they know nothing about football. Santos is the one club that I'd believe Robinho if he said he loved them.

Great finish.

Some technique to be able to catch a ball that sweet when its coming over your shoulder at that pace.

Nah keeper could've saved it.

Magnificent effort but there will be plenty more goals better tbh.

gingelion · 15-04-2010 1:46am

Crackin strike but goals against Almunia shouldnt count. He's just too ****.

DazMarz · 15-04-2010 2:42am

Beaut of a goal... Still, could have been stopped, in fairness... But cracking strike.

GLaDOS · 15-04-2010 2:45am

Can't help but smile watching him celebrate, on top of the world at that moment

Same as that, great debut for a young lad in such a fired-up, important game:)

Pedro for Barcelona last night.

OK, the goal was open but it was a great first time hit.

Pepe LeFrits · 15-04-2010 11:22am

Missed the game last night as I was on a flight. Great strike alright.

But Almunia.

Diego Forlan's from the other night wasn't bad:

And, The One(v1.0) scored a stunning goal the same night I believe:

This is hands down the goal of the season for me. Messi couldn't even pull this off...

Agree Ronaldinho was the master of the ''stop and go''

Would take it around a player, stop put his foot on the ball flick it around a player. Pure skill

eZe^ · 15-04-2010 11:03pm

It's actually the little drag backwards that impresses me the most, the entire motion is so fluid that he basically leaves 3 defenders who are within two feet of him completely dumbfounded. Beautiful piece of individual brilliance, the kind of goal that Guapa was invented for.

And the confidence/ability to finish like that with his weaker foot after doing all that.:eek:
I don't care what anyone else says, that is a more difficult goal technique-wise than Figueroa's.
