But luckily, some random South American dude (I'm just guessing, I have no idea) had one of the best goals I've ever seen in any sport at any level the other day. And I am not one easily impressed by soccer goals. I mean, I do everything I possibly can to keep soccer off of this home page.
But this could not be passed up. Watch it once quickly. Then take a good look at where the ball is coming off of. Yes, that's his back heel.
Maybe I'm just slow (shut up!) but I can't see it coming off of his heel. Looks like his toe to me. I need a slow mo close up.
I'm not doubting that he did it. It's just missing the awe inducing moment for me. I NEED MORE COWBELL!!
just pay attention to his momentum. The only way he can kick that ball is by flinging his leg backwards as he's falling forward. Probably the most amazing goal I've ever seen. Total luck, but amazing nonetheless.
