Michael Ohana is a 21-year-old forward who’s played in the Israeli Premier League since he was a teenager. He’s gone on trial with Liverpool and recently transferred from F.C. Ashdod to Hapoel Be’er Sheva, one of the bigger clubs in Israel.
He’s an incredibly promising talent who’s represented the Israeli national team up to the U-21 level. Over the weekend, Hapoel defeated Maccabi Petach-Tikva 5-0, and Ohana scored a worldy.
The rabona method of kicking the ball hardly ever results in anything other than a change of possession. While many ridiculously talented players have successfully performed a rabona in competition, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Arjen Robben, it’s extremely rare that the method leads to anything apart from a largely ineffective attempt at crossing the ball.
More than being an effective striking method, it’s generally utilized as a demonstration of personal ability and tekkers.
Miami FC’s Jaime Chavez earned Friday’s ESPN SportsCenter top play after sweetly connecting with a volley from 16 yards out. With the scores level at 0-0 in the 16th minute, Chavez timed his ridiculous strike perfectly off of a Blake Smith cross-field pass.
Chavez is a 29-year-old native of California who has spent most of his career in the NASL with the Atlanta Silverbacks and Miami.

Oof. Where do we begin?
For three years now Newcastle United supporters have been somewhat patiently waiting for local lad Adam Armstrong to be given a chance in the first team. The 19-year-old striker was dominant on loan at Coventry City in League One last year, scoring 20 goals in 40 matches.
This season, Newcastle have loaned him to Barnsley, a side in the Championship — the same division as themselves. Armstrong has scored two goals in six appearances for the South Yorkshire club, but his debut goal was the finest of his professional career to date.
