Port Said Red Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 The more I see of this goal, the more I fail to understand how it was not given as goal of the tournament. Three touches, at speed, without breaking stride! When you watch it in slow motion you can see how perfect the touches are, but it's only at full speed you can appreciate how fantastic it is, from left thigh to right foot and a volleyed touch to take it just wide enough to make room for the sublime finish. God I am missing football.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider-manc Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 In fairness I think Pavard's goal against Argentina won it, and that was a hell of a goal - running onto a half volley and hitting across the bottom of the ball to rifle it into the top corner with Roberto Carlos-esque laws of physics.* *probably wasn't quite that good - but thats how I remember it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back spin sends it way off into the distance compared to the straight drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Have to agree on Pavard. On first viewing it doesn't seem that special, but the the angle from behind is a thing of absolute beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
