8:14 Love this angle. She was in complete control, head up, knew where the gap was, and split the center backs apart with that subtle little feint. It produced the same effect as a step-over, but without any wasted movement.

[@S0ulinth3machin3]

Whether it's soccer, basketball, hockey . . . . . when a player can run at speed while having complete control over the ball/puck/what have you, without having to look at the ball/puck - that's when the player has reached a level of being very dangerous. In the head on sequence you mention, you can see her eyes and those eyes aren't focused on anything in particular during the dribble because she's looking at both the ball and the defenders via her peripheral vision. She doesn't focus on the ball until the very end when she needs to line up to take the shot. The way that she can dribble at speed with the ball right at her feet the entire time is something I've never seen an American player able to do at the world class level. Her dribbling touch is godlike. It's common to see world class players from other countries have that ability (Ronaldo Nazario, Messi, Zidane, etc. etc.) but not an American. Finally, we have one. She can't carry a team like those all time greats I mentioned, but when she flashes that brilliance every once in awhile, it's exhilarating. Finally we have one of ours who has that 'it' factor.

[@jdaniels1313]

It took 4 terrific plays to create that goal. Dunn's steal, Mewis's recovery of the ball, spotting Lavelle making the attacking run, and Mewis making a perfectly weighted pass to catch Lavelle in-stride to touch towards goal. Not to mention Alex Morgan making an attacking run that occupied the Dutch defenders, creating space for Lavelle. Yes, Lavelle made a world-class play to score the goal, but without any of the other 3 players making key plays, including Morgan, that goal doesn't happen.

She is a poetry in motion. Like the way she dribbles the ball while watching the opponent players.

[@S0ulinth3machin3]

yes, that it the key. She can dribble at near full speed with the ball at her feet while not focusing on the ball. In the slo mo view from the back of the goal you see her eyes go blank. That's when she has everything in her peripheral vision, she's looking at it all simultaneously. Then she fakes, cuts and only focuses in on the ball again when she needs to be precise for the shot. This would make a great training video for developing players - learn to dribble at speed without focusing on the ball. Easier said than done.

[@tomparatube6506]

I suspect because Lavelle's not a big star( yet) like Morgan and Rapinoe and they did not study her in depth.

Any woman that has an issue with what I said about Lavelle should remind themselves of the things other guys say about women online. Reality checks are good! Incidentally, I’d argue that the things I said in my first paragraph were much more interesting than my fondness for Lavelle’s appearance ... yet nobody’s asked me about those!! That says a lot. I regard myself to be a feminist i.e. I believe that, wherever possible, women should be treated as equally as men. So, if I can comment on a man’s appearance or pay him a compliment, then I should be allowed to do the same to a woman. If not, then there’s a double standard at play. A double standard that *undermines feminism* because it transposes the fight for _equality_ with a fight for _special treatment_ . Peace.

Lots of beautiful women in the World Cup. Lots of talent, too. Makes wonderful viewing, and not as many dives as the men make. The women I think are worth more money than the men this year. The system needs some readjustment. I am glad the Champs are pressing their case.

[@patrickmccarthy3123]

She is a great footballer and a joy to watch I'm Irish 75 and appreciate brilliance Crystal's tackle was brilliant .Great team special players

[@yiyimaradiaga]

Every single aspect of this play is beautiful from the tackle that Dunn made to get the ball then the pass from Sam and finally a perfectly placed ball by Rose ❤️💙❤️💙

[@kika5372]

This entire sequence was a thing of beauty. Teamwork and skill at its finest. It starts with Crystal Dunn's (MVP in my opinion) textbook tackle, and Mewis' solid pass that allowed Rose Lavelle to do her magic. What a beautiful show of football finesse. Well done.

[@apotebill]

Thank you for this cover! US Soccer needs to pay up!

[@bigbrycm6]

apotebill they already paid up. The women bargained for salary and benefits instead of bigger game bonuses

[@mairichgarcia8238]

Dunn , Mewis, and avelle. Pure artists. Loved every single second of this video..

[@Niftynefty]

This team should be called the constellation cause it is all stars

[@edwardandrews2618]

Good idea!👍☺🌟

[@tonyanderson5123]

@buzbeto, You did a much better job than the deep pocket Fox Sport Network people! They should give you the sport editor job!

[@msokop]

Great shot Rose! Way to make her bite for the right side!! Brilliant!! They must of forgot your left foot. Here's lo many more like this. Keep shooting!

[@vincentcheung8345]

Yep! And almost a split second shot between 2 defenders. All other teams should know about her left foot from now on. One of the most memorable goals in women soccer.......

[@CommaCam]

I thought the same thing, but it was such a good move tho. She really sold it well even if they knew to defend her left side (which I'm sure they did).

[@dfahmie1]

I have watched this six times now. It will be on a loop for days, weeks, months to come. Lavelle was just brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

[@cyberpor]

morgan tricked player no6 to follow her and that created a big space for lavelle. great team goal.

[@andrewmcguire9981]

This goal was beautiful! The perfectly timed tackle from Dunn, right to Mewis, who catches Lavelle in her stride. I love Lavelles tiny body feint that throws off her defender. Thank's for the great video!!

[@khomsonthanadabouth3409]

Lavelle got game. Scored a terrific goal with sweet handles. But not too many defenders besides Iggy from the GS Warriors get MVP credit for playing great defense the way Dunn did during the tournament. Left backs defend against other team best forwards often times. Mewis did good too with assist pass. I coach and played every position but started at left back. I was ambidextrous. Media likes to highlight the big moments. I tell my players that did what Dunn did that it was because of their hustle work that caused the big play to happen. Everyone doesn't get equal pay nor equal credit.

[@birdlynn417]

We know that and they know that too....the fans just might not know it, but we do, I know the rest of the team knows too. That is why they win and they won. Every little steal and pass makes every difference and sometimes the final winning one.

[@FlaschDJ]

birdlynn hubbard Yes. Rose knows it too. She pulled away from the on-field hugs to include the “bench” players in the celebrating.

[@pnwesterner6220]

Hope Solo noted that Kelley O'hara and Crystal Dunn were in the trenches doing the grunt work for the USWNT, unheralded.

[@beehead5661]

Love to watch Lavelle with the ball. She goes full speed, so fast, great change of direction. In this case she knew nobody was close to her from behind and took full advantage of that space, setting up her shot perfectly. A masterpiece from Dunne's great steal to Lavelle's pure strike.

[@michaeldrabenstott9756]

Dunn was a rock the entire match. Unsung.

[@hqnn8740]

Michael Drabenstott most defenders don’t get the credits. But they can be easily get all the blames when other teams score goals. I did play all positions for years so I knew.

[@digitaldirt7773]

Thank you. This post brings back so many memories,

[@James-bv4nu]

Lavelle was in complete control on every dribble, threading through the defense, and leading up to the strike and goal. It was a thing of beauty to behold.

[@f12mnb]

Great video. The overhead view shows the link between the defense of Dunn to the transition and finish of Lavelle. It shows the spacing and formation. The detail slow mo shows the nuances of the feints, bobs, and fakes leading the shot.

[@mickodillon1480]

Deadly goal, congrats USA

[@MonsieurMosca]

Que Golazo! Thanks for not putting cheesy music on it.

[@isadoramartinez6050]

Lavelle caresses the ball amazingly before tricking the defender and shooting to the opposite side of the run of the goalie

[@ericbrouet]

And no defenders even tried to get in her way - so poor!

[@tanla4629]

Thank you for sharing this amazing videos, what a beautiful goal from the moment she received it till she kicked it in. I love you Rose! a happy moment I’ll never forget.

[@minnowshark]

A few things I noticed. While there were 2 defenders, #6 Dekker had to guard against Morgan streaking towards the goal and only committed to Lavelle at the last moment. That meant Lavelle was one on one against #3 van der Gragt. Against van der Gragt, Lavelle keeps pushing her towards her right side. And then Lavelle totally fakes going right with a subtle flinch as if she going to kick it hard right. As noon as van der Gragt sees Lavelle’s left foot go back, she takes off in the wrong direction and has to turn all the way around. By then Lavelle only faked a hard kick right and went left and shot the ball in the open space she created with her fake out.

[@vanessajazp6341]

One of the most impressive goals I've ever seen! Thanks for the video. Also, it was Crystal Dunn who start this all in motion. She was a force on the field this game!

[@JohnPestka]

OMG the closeup on her footwork as she charges towards goal

[@FlaschDJ]

(I’m new to soccer). One time she “scrapes” the top of the rolling ball seemingly to only make it roll faster or differently.

[@StellarFella]

When you see the way she took the pass quickly and went into action, all of her movements were nothing short of masterful.

[@standoughope]

This is easily the most re-watchable goal that I've seen in women's soccer/football. Everything is perfect, not the slightest blemish.

[@Al-rm6iz]

Still watching this amazing goal in 2020? Me too.

[@griselreyes2089]

I almost cry her reaction is pure passion 🤗🤗

[@buzbeto]

Since humans experience empathy, it is hard to watch this without getting wrapped up in her emotions of joy.

[@FlaschDJ]

buzbeto Thank you for writing this. I have been very emotional. I’ve been trying to understand why. I am not a soccer fan.

[@coopaloopmex]

This is easily one of my favorite youtube videos of all time
