Flying Scorpion Kick In Romania Is Latest Puskas Contender In Week Of Absurd Goals

While 2020 has been subpar at best, the one positive has been that insane goals have been abundant this year. And in recent days we've been spoiled, to say the least.

93rd Minute Game-Winning Bicycle Kick From End Line Is Unlike Anything You’ve Ever Seen

One big-man soccer player from Palestine’s second division has given physics the middle finger after he scored an impossible end line bicycle kick goal on Tuesday.

With his team Alarabi Beit Safafa stuck in some nervy final minutes tied at 1-1, a hero was needed. Who in all of Palestine could emerge from the shadows and answer the desperate call for a game winner? This one man who has been mocked on the internet as “Marco Fat Basten” knew that it was he, and only he, who had the wit, tenacity and audacity to attempt an unthinkable move.

This Trivela From Pulga Rodríguez Shows Why He’s Football’s Best Kept Secret

The year is 2009. Argentina, under the direction of Diego Maradona, is on the verge of missing the 2010 World Cup after back-to-back-to-back defeats to Ecuador, Brazil and Paraguay. The loss to Brazil had been particularly horrifying — a 3-1 humbling in Rosario that clinched the Seleção’s place in South Africa and left midfield warrior Javier Mascherano disconsolate in the dressing room.

Benjamin Pavard Hits A Volley For France That Has Shades Of His World Cup Golazo

Olivier Giroud bagged a double as he showed his worth for France again to help the world champions beat Sweden 4-2 at home in the Nations League on Tuesday.

Giroud scored either side of Benjamin Pavard's first-half strike as Les Bleus recovered from Viktor Claesson's early opener. Sweden, who reduced the arrears through Robin Quaison before France's Kingsley Coman wrapped it up in stoppage time, were relegated into League B.

Maradona, An All-Time Great

Few players create a lasting impact on the game like Maradona has. Once the greatest player in the world, Maradona has imprinted his moments of genius on the pitch into the memories of his fans. Off the pitch Maradona finds himself frequently in questionable health, but he always manages to recover.

Watch Mahrez Put Zimbabwe’s Defense On Skates To Secure AFCON Qualification

Riyad Mahrez scored an absolute stunner in Algeria’s 2-2 draw with Zimbabwe to ensure his country’s qualification for the African Cup of Nations on Monday. The Mahrez goal vs Zimbabwe even has some people daring to utter the word “Puskás.”

This goal might not be the best of 2020, but you won’t see a better goal scored this week.

With Algeria leading 1-0 midway through the first half, the Desert Foxes only needed one long ball to their star player to spring the counterattack. The rest, and one Zimbabwe defender’s ankles, is history.

Dries Mertens’ Sublime Free Kick The Highlight Of Belgium’s Win Over England

Early goals by Youri Tielemans and Dries Mertens earned Belgium a comfortable 2-0 victory over England as they strengthened their grip on top spot in Nations League Group A2 in Leuven on Sunday.

England needed a win to put themselves back in the frame for a place in the Nations League finals, but Gareth Southgate's side found themselves chasing the game after Tielemans put the hosts in front after 10 minutes.

Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan Scores Straight From Kickoff

To Group C4 of the UEFA Nations League we go for a meeting between promotion hopeful Albania and relegation candidate Kazakhstan. 

Sokol Cikalleshi opened the scoring in the 16th minute for Albania before Ardian Ismajli doubled the advantage in the 23rd, but Kazakhstan’s response was literally immediate. Straight from the ensuing kickoff, Aybol Abiken pulled one back with a spectacular effort that left Etrit Berisha — a 31-year-old veteran with 59 caps who’s played for Lazio, Atalanta and now SPAL — flailing between the posts. 

You’ve Seen Crazy Goals, But How About A Self-Assisted Volley From A Bicycle Kick Off The Crossbar?

We have ourselves a potential Puskás candidate. An insane moment took place in the Danish Cup on Wednesday when Lyngby defender Nicolai Geertsen scored a goal that words can not describe.

OK, maybe words can describe this goal. Geertsen defied all the odds as he self-assisted himself with a bicycle kick that hit off the crossbar which he then volleyed into the goal. Quite a mouthful, no?
