Zlatan Ibrahimovic: THE Goal

He's definitely the best England has to offer right now.

Rob Green? Yikes.

 

Joe Hart is the Mutombo of soccer. Except not so Mutombo. But definitely a Mutombo.

 

Obviously this wasn't a bicycle kick... but I'm reminded a little bit of this:

An oldie but a goodie. Crazy Columbian goalie with the most rediculous save ever.

Not sure how to put the video on the thread, so to see it you will have to folow the link.

 

Higuita was an idiot. Keepers like him and Jorge Campos cost their teams wins with their stupidity way more than they entertained a few with their tricks. I play with a keeper that loves to come out of the goal. He makes the occasional great save...but he gives up the more than occasional stupid goal because he won't stay back.

 

The best goal I've seen. Ranks up there with Eric Hasli's goal against Seattle (being MLS doesn't discredit how mind-blowing that goal was).

 

the goalie was out of position. All Ibra wanted to do was get it on target, he wasn't aiming it or anything.

Cisse was from an impossible angle and he intentionally wanted it to curve. Cech was in decent position and even he was astonished by the heavy curve of the ball that he couldn't save it.

I think that about 60% of pro strikers could have done what ibra did in that situation, about 5% could do what cisse did in about 100 tries

 

Barca will get him next year, just watch

 

Best goalkeepers in the world:

Casillas, Neuer, Buffon (in no particular order)

Hart is nowhere near that list.

Even in the Bundesliga, we have 8 more keepers who are better than Hart:

Adler, Ter Stegen, Zieler, Leno, Trapp, Baumann, Ulreich, Weidenfeller

 

I don't think Hart is near Casillas, Neuer or Buffon, but I think he, Lloris (Who isn't even starting right now), and Cech are probably the class of the EPL.

 

Hmm yeah. I was exaggerating a bit, to make a point . But I think you are about right.

 

I was using Ter Stegen on one of my FIFA ultimate teams because I recognized him as the dude who saved that Messi penalty in the Germany - Argentina game a few months back.

He's actually pretty solid on the game.

The save wasn't that great, but hey... he had to come in cold and stop Messi.

 

Please post video.

that goal was so sick that even cisse couldn't do it again if he tried.

 

Classic "swinger", he just put he foot through the ball. Looks good, but not convinced the intent was there for what happened. Ibra's goal was better.

Cisse's was better.

 

nothing more disheartening as a defender than to see some lucky garbage like that go in.

 

Especially in the situation. On the road VS Chelsea in extra time. Just snub out any hope of a draw.

Ibra's goal was during an international friendly IIRC.
