As a goalie, it always looks bad for you, when someone makes a goal 45 meters away. But from the perspective of the goalie, the ball moves in the air. The perfect knuckle ball is just so hard to block or catch. When it looks likes the ball goes in the left corner, 1 second later it seems to go over the goal in the right corner. When the ball flies into the goal, it hits in the down left corner. Everybody thinks, you made the mistake. Just play good and everything is okay after the game.

I'm not a huge fan of the game, but I have to say, it's the most exciting sport I've watched purely from the spectator perspective. The part that makes it special to me is that even though the players are incredibly fit and skilled, everything just seems insanely random. Like there will be a perfect opening to score and it gets completely flubbed. Or there is no way in hell to get a goal and yet it happens anyway. It's just an emotional roller coaster from start to finish and just sharing that emotional journey with the other spectators is a very unique experience. I can absolutely understand why people love it so much.

By a shear coincidence there was an article on the BBC sport web site a few days ago writing about the demise of "The Screamer." This a nickname here in the UK for the kind of goal you are featuring in your video. Apparently, the majority of goals scored in the English professional leagues currently, are from close range which is a disappointing statistic if it's true. There have always been goal "poachers" in the game. Strikers who specialise being in the right place at the right time to score goals from close range. However, that type of goal will always be an important part of the game, but for me the "screamer," hitting the top corner of the net from thirty five yards out, will always be the most exciting part of any match. Some people claim that the lack of long range shots is down to retaining possession of the ball at all costs, as a team advances on the opponents goal. Possibly, who knows, hopefully there are still a few coaches left who will encourage their strikers to "have a go," if the opportunity presents itself.

I'd say that, if that's a true statistic, the decrease in the number of screamers, just like the rise of the cautious possession football mentality, comes down to attempting to lower the impact of chance/luck in the game and managing risk. Even though screamers are amazing to watch and some of them are mostly down to skill, power and precision the truth is the majority are very very much dependent on luck. Even in this compilation there are several goals that are obviously not intended by the scorer, or are at least very lucky to find themselves in the net. It's an unfortunate side effect of how competitive and improved every aspect of the game has become. It's why people also talk about the death of the flair player, the magician dribbling and toying with the opposition.

As an old fart I will say that one of the reasons for so many 'recent' goals here - apart from the fact that every game now is filmed from 20 different angles - is that the technology has improved so much over time. Better boots, lighter footballs which are basically designed to fly, and of course the players are fitter, stronger and better trained than ever before. Great selection of goals here, but the video could easily have been 2 hours long. I especially love seeing amazing goals like these from the lower leagues where you might not expect that kind of quality.

The original laws of the game required that the ball carrier ground the ball ("touch the ball down"), as is the case in rugby today. The game evolved, but the vernacular remained. As for the name of the game, it is simply one of many codes of football - association, gridiron, Aussie Rules, Rugby, Gaelic, etc - that exist today. As for the infrequent use of feet in the American game, that is another example of the game evolving without changes in vocabulary. The original game contained elements of association, rugby, and Gaelic football. Kicking was once the principle means of advancing the ball. Today, kicking is obviously a less prominent (yet still critical) feature of the game. Association football is my first sporting passion (Celtic FC for life). However, being American, I love our game as well. And yes, amongst other Americans, I do say "soccer". If you don't like it, blame the English. They invented the word.

When theyre hit with such power and theyre so far into the corner its literally impossible for a keeper to save it.

Football isn't named football because you kick the ball with your feet. It's called football because you play it on foot. When the name came to be used, in the late middle ages, the word football was used to distinguish it from sports, by nobility, "played" on horseback, like fox-hunting or boar-hunting. In the first football games there was a ball, but it wasn't really kicked but carried. Goals were often miles apart and teams were made up of whole neighborhoods. And games often got very violent. These days there are still games played known as folk football.

The English actually called it "soccer" first. There were multiple types of football. Mainly rugby football and association football("soccer" for short). As association football became the clearly dominant form of football, it ended up being called just "football".

American Football is called football because it is part of the Football Family tree. Very early American Football was more like Football/Soccer than American Football. The first recognized Football game was played with mostly Football/Soccer FA rules. The introduction of Rugby rules in the 1870s gave it the likeness to Rugby that we can clearly see today. Finally, the introduction of unique rules by Walter Camp made American Football is own distinct sport. The name Football stuck because back then the only distinction people made was what rules were in play. It was Football Association Rules for Football/Soccer, Rugby Football Union Rules for Rugby, Intercollegiate Football Association Rules for American Football, etc. Clear distinction evolved later.

Actually the name Soccer came from the English themselves - the inventors of the game: The game was originally called football, coz you played the ball with your foot. Then, in the town of rugby, someone got frustrated and picked up the ball and ran with it and this new variation of the game stuck. It eventually became known as “Rugby football” but at first they just called it football too. Because of that, to avoid the confusion, the creators of the original football decided to differentiate it from the one played in rugby so they created an association to lay down the rules of the game; which is why it was renamed “association football”. This was slanged to “assoc”, then slanged again to “soccer”. Meanwhile, “rugby” football became known as just “rugby”, so soccer slowly got its original football name back. But not before a whole bunch of English immigrants went to the US, where they were still calling it soccer. It’s also the reason why American football is called football: Those English immigrants to the US were still calling rugby, “rugby football”. And as the game slowly evolved from rugby to what it is now, it no longer needed to be called “rugby” football - just football. Blame the English for everything! 😂

I think "soccer" came back to the UK via the French. It was an English university thing: they liked to play with words so that rugby football became "rugger" and association football became "soccer" (and later "footy"). Both games were football though.

Also, I think Pat Jennings was the first goalie to ever score a goal in an international match.

If you want to see pure skill, look up Dennis Bergkamp. Je had zich a great talent and his way of football was pure art

The goal at 7.15 was in Brazil. I don't there was an English commentator in the original soundtrack. Who created the video probably replaced the Brazilian commentator by that English commentary

The ones where the ball bounced over the goalkeeper always make him look bad as he could have just taken some steps back and caught the ball. But on the other side,if there are players close to where the ball bounces he wants to be a bit closer to them to challenge them when they take the ball so he needes to find a way of somewhat covering both possibilities and those goals happen when the keeper commits too much towards covering for other players taking the ball.

All goals here are poems really and i'm certain there are more missing this list. Low shots are the most skilled and powerfull by far for me because the high ones are always in advantage against keepers. There are 2 crucial factors on a high long range shot to consider when you judge the keeper's level of responsibility. 1) The high long shots usually come from above (dah) and things like stadium lights/sun/night darkness (depending the hour they play and highest point of the shot) can potentially hinder the view of the keeper. 2) Ball gets accelaration when goes downwards in weird ways so if you can't see the starting speed from side potition and it comes in straight line, kinetic vision from certain pov can't help you much. Also i can't really talk about potitioning since the keeper's away potition most of the times is a standard on how high the defensive line can go to help keep lines close from tactical prespectives.

Its easier nowadays with a modern football, it also curves a lot more, back in the 70's the ball was heavier and less air dynamic and the pitches in the UK were sometimes like mud if it had been raining. Prior to that was the lace up ball. If it got wet it was like a medicine ball. Heading the damned thing was like getting a punch on your head.

Jhon Duran (yes, that's the correct spelling) hit a goal for Aston Villa against Everton with weekend that will be on future compilations like this. A 32 yard blast that curled away from the goalkeeper into the top corner. It was much prettier than Bellingham's goal in this video. POLO should react to a Juninho free kick compilation. He's truly the greatest free kick taker of all time. His mastery of every technique is amazing.

@@MrVvulf Thank you, mate. Though the prognosis is not good. I'd rather not think about it. Agree with you on the Juninho (Pernambucano) front. Incredible free kick taker and vastly underrated. 'Our' Juninho was Paulista, the little fella. Middlesbrough stalwart and exceptional in his own right. Both amazing players.

Don't apologise for calling it soccer, here in the UK we called it soccer and then changed it to football. It was originally called Association Football and we abbreviated the word Association to Soccer. I think it was sometime around the 1940/50's we then dropped the word soccer and called it football instead. America just didn't change it because by then you already had another game called football, which makes sense. I'd guess you call your game football because maybe it derived from Rugby in some way, which was called Rugby Football back in the day. That name just got abbreviated to Rugby. I never understand why some of my fellow Englishman/other areas of the UK get so annoyed at the word soccer considering that's the original name we gave it.
