Amazing Goals

When we were 12 years old, we were just satisfied with putting the ball in the back of the net, no matter how it happened. Honestly, we were six years away from playing soccer like bees play tag. In the rare instance that one of us scored something that took any amount of skill, we we’re f***ing pumped.

Sometimes you just gotta take it and run, whatever “it” may be, and that is what Michail Antonio did when he picked up the ball around midfield against Walsall. Only, instead of, you know, making himself look like a douche by running past one defender only to get shut down by the next, he went all the way and scored an absolutely brilliant goal. 

A moment of real inspiration is hard to come by. The factors that go into making your mind light up and burn with the energy of a new idea or realization are so enigmatic that people spend their entire lives searching for them; the driving thought being that eternal success has at its heart the ability to be constantly inspired. This chase is as present in soccer as it is in any other vocation.
