Amazing Goals

You know when you're ballin' with your mates and you execute the perfect pass, or a sweet dummy but they mess it up? That isn't what happened here and we thank our lucky stars for that. Moritz Leitner fed Shinji Kagawa a beautiful backheel and he Japanese international lofted a beautiful 18-yard chip past the Schalke goalkeeper. It was swaggy and it was smooth. Dortmund have a big Europa League match coming up this week in Anfield and are 7 points behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. It's going to be a tight finish for Thomas Tuchel's bunch. 

Dimitri Payet has 13 goals in all competitions this year. Five of them are on free-kicks coming off of his golden right foot. Sure, there are a lot of amazing free-kick takers out there, but I'm going to go ahead and just give Payet the title of "Free-Kick King". His right footed curling rockets have been giving goalkeepers fits since his return from an ankle injury in January and he's been key in keeping West Ham in the hunt for a top four finish.  Go ahead a watch all of his golazo's from set peices this year. The best one, probably his rip from 30+ yards out against Russia.

Jesus "Tecatito" Corona is nicknamed after a famous Mexican beer. His play lives up to that nickname as he scored a beautiful goal that has football fans watching it on repeat. Mexico faced off against Canada at Estadio Azteca in the semi final round of CONCACAF WCQ. Mexico's professionalism and clinical skill on the pitch allowed for a high possession percentage and their attacking prowess created a penalty and Tecatito's clean finish.

Shinji Kagawa added two goals for Japan in a 5 - 0 romp of Syria in AFC World Cup Qualifying. The match against Syria was tight until Kagawa latched on to a flick from Keisuke Honda and with his back to the goal, chested it down, spun and fired home past Syrian keeper, Ibrahim Alba. Once Kagawa scored in the 66th minute, the flood gates opened as Syria allowed 3 more goals to be scored. Kagawa added another in the 90th minute. 

Dimitri Payet was on the pitch for three minutes before he scored an absolutely stunning free kick from distance in an international friendly in the 64th minute. The West Ham and French international attacking midfielder went top right corner to beat Russian keeper, Igor Akinfeev. This 30 yard free kick put the home side up 3-1. It was a lovely goal that will definitely help Payet's cause in making the Euro 2016 French squad. France would go on to win the match 4 - 2 and birthday boy, Payet provided the highlight reel goal. 

Happy Birthday Dimitri!
