Amazing Goals
The Fans Refused To Be Quiet, But Then This Blind Opera Singer Brought The House Down
When I found out that Claudio Ranieri and Leicester City had brought out Andrea Bocelli to serenade the King Power Stadium before Leicester City’s first match as Premier League champions, I got really excited. Not only because Nessum Dorma is one of my favorite songs, or that only a few days prior we at The18 had used it as the soundtrack to a reaction video for Eden Hazard’s goal that won Leicester the title, but because I knew that it would be one of the greatest scenes I would see all year.
This 30-Yard Bicycle Kick Goal Is Even Better Than Zlatan's
When Zlatan Ibrahimovic capitalized on an error by Joe Heart with an amazing 30-yard bicycle kick goal back in 2013, we thought it was a feat of singular athleticism and genius that could never be replicated. However, Javi Gomez, a 33-year-old striker in the Spanish Segunda Division B, has created that outlandish goal’s spirit double.
Zlatan's BFF Is a Defender and Just Scored an Incredible Goal
PSG is not just Zlatan. Maxwell scored an incredible goal today in a 4 - 0 rout of Rennes at the Parc de Princes. His 50th minute goal included a nutmeg to beat one defender and a powerful right footed shot to the top corner. While you see Zlatan scoring powerful goals for PSG, Maxwell is equally as good. Maxwell has great skills for a defender and has a nose for the ball. Some amazing stuff here.
Maxwell just scored the nastiest goal I've seen in awhile
Everyone's Second Favorite Club, Leicester City, Invites You To Party This Sunday
The wild party surrounding Leicester City’s march towards their first ever Premier League title is only going to amplify between now Sunday’s 9 a.m. EST kickoff against Manchester United. Fans of the club, both long-standing and new to the bandwagon, are preparing to go bonkers should Leicester claim all three points against the 20-time English champions and clinch the trophy with two matches still to play.
Free-Kick Travels 30 Yards, Swerves 10, The Keeper Had Zero Chance
Many know the Swedish legend, Henrik Larsson. His son, Jordan is making a name for himself with this incredible free-kick in the 75th minute. Currently playing in the Swedish top flight for Helsingborg IF, Larsson's free-kick needed both power and finesse. With the free-kick from 30 yards out, Larsson needed the power to make it to the goal, but also the finesse to beat the keeper. This was his second goal of the match. During the 6th minute he creatively chipped the keeper. You don't see skills like this every day. It must be the genes.
Champions League Semi Final Goals - April 27, 2016
From the first few minutes, we already knew this match was going to be much better than yesterday's. With a group of supporters backing Bayern, they held 74% of the possession, however Saúl Ñíguez's Messi esque goal in the 11th minute was a blow to the visitors. The hard fought match would end in a 1 - 0 victory for Madrid. The second leg for Atletico and Bayern will be on May 3, while Real Madrid take on Manchester City the following day.
This Goalkeeper Never Gave Up And Took Down The Table Leaders By Himself
Currently playing in the Polish top flight, Sebastian Nowak thought the game was over when table leading opponents, Wisla Krakow scored in the second minute of stoppage time. It is safe to assume, Wisla thought they would be victorious on the day as well. However, Nowak had other ideas and one minute later came in unmarked on a corner kick and executed a perfect header to tie the game up. Pandamonium ensued and the match would end in a 2 - 2 draw.
Two Outrageous Screamers Are Always Better Than One
Who doesn't love a good screamer ? We live for those moments when a player just receives the ball, says "Well, f*** it," and then proceeds to wallop it with literally zero finesse. The soccer gods were apparently smiling this weekend because we got not one, but two outrageous screamers.
Of course, we can't just have two screamers without determining which one is better. We're humans after all. Everything must be ranked and constrained to a value system otherwise we go crazy. With that in mind, here are the two fantastic goals. Which one is better?
This Bicycle Kick Should Win The Puskas
The odds your coach wants you trying a 30 yard bicycle kick in a game are probably 0. But Javi Gomez doesn't care what manager Ángel García Cabezali thinks, and that's a good thing because the UD Socuéllamos player scored the bicycle kick that could potentially land him on the Puskas list. Gomez chested a deep pass into the air before exectuing a perfect chilena past an out of position keeper. There isn't really much else to say about this goal because it's perfect. Just watch it from this different angle:
