- caseysoftware 10y agoThanks for the clip. That was great. You can see everyone briefly relax when the keeper deflects the initial shot. They thought the pressure was gone.. and then BOOM.
- ptaipale 10y agoOf course, yes, but about nine times out of ten a better attempt would have been made with a simple header or by passing the ball downwards. Football is a team sport. It's great to be able to score from a difficult position. But it's much better to keep your eyes open, know where your teammates are, and pass to someone who is in a better position.
- thom 10y agoWhich, nine times out of then, means not crossing the ball in the first place. Although now I look upthread, that's pretty much what you're advocating.

- Bartweiss 10y agoI enjoy any technique that looks that absurd when it goes slightly wrong. Flying headers are particularly beautiful - you just get a player sailing across the field into nothing in particular.
