Stay tuned for the Round of 16 folks. It's coming up next. As before, it will be 30 minute matches with most votes being declared the winner and progressing to the quarter final stage. Any tie-breakers will take reasons into account. The draw will be made randomly.

My vote is for Carlos, build up is a bit slow but good team goal and the dribbling in the middle part is very good

Reberetta · 13-09-2020 7:10pm

Carlos Alberto

BonnieSituation · 13-09-2020 7:15pm

Maxi. As sweet a take and stroke as you can see.

Love the the final pass and finish for Carlos Alberto, but as a goal it gets too much Kudos just because it was Brazil.

Irish Aris · 13-09-2020 7:17pm

Vote for Maxi Rodriguez.
I really like this stop control and shot straight away, all in one go

Carlos

ArnoldJRimmer · 13-09-2020 7:22pm

Gonna go Carlos Alberto, its a little over-rated, but still a wonderful team goal

dubrov · 13-09-2020 7:24pm

Has to be Rodriguez.

It's easy to look good in the searing heat when you are already 3-1 up with only a few minutes left

Kolido · 13-09-2020 7:25pm

Maxi for me, brilliant control and strike and looks f#### class

The Brazil goal was all about the build up, Italy had all but given up, 3-1 down with 5 mins left.

Voting Maxi

Mention of team goal validates the point. 2-2

This isn't a reason for Rodriguez but it does actively say why the Brazil goal is lesser. So a point can be awarded. 3-2 to Maxi

Rounded off with another validated point for Maxi. 4-2

Maxi Rodriguez wins.

We are gonna go from one Rodriguez to another here and this really is a Battle of the Thunderbastards. I implore you to watch both in their entirety as both looks awesome from various angles. I'm very invested in this match coming up...

Dario Rodriguez (Uruguay vs Denmark, 2002)

Tim Cahill (Australia vs Netherlands, 2014)

ArnoldJRimmer · 13-09-2020 7:44pm

Cahill, two great goals, but that pass and finish is fantastic

Kolido · 13-09-2020 7:44pm

Both very similar, but voting Cahill as I think it was the more difficult one to score

13-09-2020 7:56pm

Dario Rodriguez the finish is top class, but the 2 keepy ups and pass are just filthy

Omackeral · 13-09-2020 7:58pm

10 minutes to go

Irish Aris · 13-09-2020 7:58pm

I'll vote for Tim Cahill too, the angle that the ball comes to him seems a bit steeper and makes it a bit more impressive

Reberetta · 13-09-2020 8:04pm

Cahill

Omackeral · 13-09-2020 8:11pm

Dario Rodriguez 1-4 Tim Cahill

cdeb · 13-09-2020 8:12pm

Dario is like Cahill but with extra volleys. More is better, so it gets my vote

Omackeral · 13-09-2020 8:12pm

The Aussie blasts into the last 8. Next up is a bit of civil warfare as we have two stars from the same nation going head to head. Which effort do you think is better?
