Goal(s) of the tournament
- Thread starter Botim

Just before the Holland game I was moaning we hadn’t had any bangers yet, usually had a couple by that point in the tournament it feels like.
Then two in two games
Schik’s the best so far for me.

Schick's goal is extraordinary. Exceptional curve and placement from that distance
Justice for Lainer's goal yesterday.
I'd have it above Yarmelenko's ... both the pass and the finish are brilliant.

Meh. There is nothing much to call it OMG!!
Yh Agreed, I'd have this as No2 behind the banger from today. Technique on the flat pass is so difficult to do.
Oh, I missed that one. Thanks!
Everyone: feel free to add videos if I miss any (work doesn't allow me to watch every single game)
Lainer and Yarmolenko scored great goals indeed, but the two combined aren't nearing what Schick did yesterday...
Schick's goal yesterday was incredible. Gets better each time you see it.
Could be the best halfway-line goal I've ever seen.

Outrageous goal that. They'll have to go some to top it that's for sure.
I can’t see there being a better goal than Schick’s. One for the ages.
Yeah, it's not even about the distance for me but more the crazy trajectory he gave to the ball without controlling the ball
Totally agree. I could not believe John Hendry was gettling schtick for his ambitious shot bouncing the way it did - that was just unlucky, but the goalie was too far out. I suppose it is the modern way: sweeper-keepers. However, leaving both of those things aside, the shot itself was magical and I'm sorry to have to say this, because I'm half-Scottish so I was hoping the Scots would get a 1:1 - the comedy way the keeper ended up like a fish in a net at the back of the goal just added to its brilliance. I can watch it over and over for laughs alone.
Lainer's goal is my favourite so far. Just a beautiful goal in every way.
Schick's is easily the winner, and unless something very special happens, it will remain the goal of the tournament.
Apart from the ones mentioned already, honorable mention to Ronaldo's last goal. Give-and-go masterclass.

Offside!
Ronaldo 2nd vs Hungary.

Schicks will win without a doubt. Competition for 2nd place already. Yarmolenko's and Ronaldo's were both class.
Cor! Looked it. Glad it wasn't, it was a nice goal.
Schtick's goal was the best I've seen from that distance (Jair Benitez had a good one for FC Dallas in 2013) but wtf was the keeper doing that far out?
I know Schick's goal is an incredible piece of skill, but nothing beats a great team goal imo. De Bruyne's was just poetry in motion
I agree. What a goal!
Modric's goal was quality.
Modrić goal so far top 3.
Outside foot, perfectly placed.
Can't think of a player outside of him and Quaresma who could pull it off.

Always thought outside of the foot shots like that are the peak of technique.
Nelinho
Feck it, found a whole video of them. Julian Joachim is in there, remember seeing that at the time and thinking it was one of the best goals I'd ever seen.
Or an indication you can’t hit the ball with your other foot.
The Benzema (1st) goal is now number one for me. Absolutey incredible first touch that takes a world class footballer to pull off. Outrageous.

Though it was his second... but fire pure fire
Yeah, Benzema's is first for me.
