Amazing Goals

Sunday League Bicycle Kick Is So Good That It Spreads Contagious Joy

Not all overhead kicks are created equal. The greatest differentiator has to be that moment of posterization — when the foot meets football at its absolute zenith and the body’s parallelism with the ground seems to foreshadow certain death. 

On one end of the scale there's the footballer who’s simply throwing their leg at the chance and falling over. The result is still a great goal, but the lasting effect isn’t much more powerful than watching a somersault. 

Messi Applies Mysterious Magicks To Ball For Unusual Goal vs. Uruguay

Few left feet in the history of the game have been as magical as Lionel Messi’s. But the Messi goal vs Uruguay on Sunday night was something uniquely supernatural. It was as if the Argentine put some sort of forcefield around the ball as he sent it toward goal.

Messi’s strike in the 38th minute sent Argentina on its way to a 3-0 win over Uruguay in World Cup qualifying, maintaining a comfortable second place in the CONMEBOL table behind Brazil. La Celeste barely remain in the top four guaranteed World Cup positions with seven matches left to play. 

El Fabuloso Gol De Benzema A España Merecía Mucho Más Que La Irrelevante Nations League

Francia reparó un poco la pobre imagen que dejó en la última Euro, luego de conseguir el título de la Nations League, derrotando a España por 2-1. Uno de los goles de la victoria fue obra de Karim Benzema y merece verse en eterno loop.

El tanto del delantero fue todo lo que queremos ver en una final. Fabuloso, mágico, sublime. Es una lástima que haya sido en la intrascendente Nations League y no en un torneo de mayor prestigio.

Alexander Isak’s Wonder Goal Keeps Sweden On Path To Overtaking Spain

UEFA Group B in FIFA World Cup qualifying continues to deliver after both Sweden and Greece secured victories on Saturday to put pressure on leader Spain with only three matchdays remaining.

Antonio Rüdiger Brutally Nutmegged In Maradona-Esque Solo Goal By Ianis Hagi

Anyone who came of age in the 80s and 90s knows the name: Gheorghe Hagi. Nicknamed “Maradona of the Carpathians,” the Romanian icon was good enough to play for both Real Madrid and Barcelona while retiring as his country’s all-time leading goal scorer. His son has been on the soccer radar since joining Fiorentina at the age of 17, and on Friday the Ianis Hagi goal vs Germany showed this youngster has a touch of his father’s abilities in him.

Son Heung-min Hits 89th-Minute Winner To Keep South Korea On Path To Qatar

HONG KONG - Son Heung-min struck with less than two minutes remaining to earn South Korea a dramatic 2-1 win over Syria in Ansan on Thursday as Paulo Bento's side maintained their unbeaten start in Group A in the final phase of Asia's World Cup preliminaries.

Son swept the ball home from close range in the 89th minute, five minutes after Omar Khribin looked to have secured a share of the points for the Syrians in a game dominated by the hosts.

Sam Kerr Scored A Worldie — Then The Match Went Wild

Wednesday’s Chelsea-Wolfsburg matchup in the UEFA Women’s Champions League was one of those games you just didn’t want to end. Thrilling action on either side of the pitch ended in a 3-3 draw featuring stunning golazos, horrifying mistakes and a late, late equalizer.

Chelsea, last season’s runner-up, opened its UWCL campaign on fire, scoring 12 minutes in through a Sam Kerr stunner only to concede the next three goals on howlers. But the reigning FA WSL champs dug deep to earn a draw to share the spoils in Group A. 

Mario Balotelli Becomes First Player Ever To Foul The Tactical Fouler

As José Mourinho once explained, Mario Balotelli occasionally starts playing his own game with its own set of rules out on the pitch.

In the 62nd minute of Friday’s Süper Lig encounter between Balotelli’s Adana Demirspor and home side Antalyaspor, the 31-year-old striker sprinted through the midfield on a counter attack that was quickly looking like a three-on-two for the visitors. With the score level at 1-1, this represented a huge moment for Adana Demirspor.

América Le Dice A Pumas Quién Es El Jefe De CDMX Con Dos Fantásticos Golazos

Siempre es especial ganarle a un rival clásico. Aún mejor, sin embargo, es vencerlo con un par de golazos que se repetirán, se repetirán y se repetirán por décadas.

Y ese es seguramente el dulce sabor de boca que quedó entre los aficionados del América, luego de que su equipo venciera a Pumas en el clásico capitalino: satisfechos con una victoria siempre necesaria en sus libros y que los devuelve a la cima del Apertura 2021, pero también en éxtasis con las fantásticas conquistas de Richard Sánchez y Mauro Lainez.

Is It Time To Crown Mohamed Salah As The World’s Best Footballer?

Liverpool and Manchester City stood toe-to-toe at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, exchanging haymakers and glorious bits of skill in an end-to-end classic that ended 2-2 after an exchange of four second-half goals. 

City carved the best opportunities of the first half with Phil Foden tormenting stand-in right back James Milner and Bernardo Silva at his freakish best. This dribble from Silva in the 20th minute deserved a finish from Foden.
