Even Pavard's celebration was great, like Tardelli's or Grosso's. Iconic moment.
hahaha, sorry, I thought you were railing Edinson for the superb 2nd. Carry on.I was talking about his first goal. He faced it in! But it was such a wicked ball front Suarez that just getting any kind of connection was an achievement.

Jesse Lingard to step up in the knockoutsPlenty of wonder strikes in this WC. But can’t think of any mazy dribbling goals or well-worked team goals.
Aye. Lingard will score his trademark mazing run goal.Jesse Lingard to step up in the knockouts
You absolute nerd you just ruined itDon't get bored watching the Pavard goal - it's like a laser beam. Reminds me of throwing a frisbee perfectly, kind of snapping it hard and seeing all the work you've put on it pay off as it leaves your hand and sails away as if guided by angels. A perfect strike, that for Pavard must have been as satisfying to watch hit home as it will have felt to connect with.

Given my love of sewing and knitting, you're lucky I didn't wax lyrical about threading that ball through the eye of a needle.You absolute nerd you just ruined it

In it's entirety, it was very good. From Banega's pass to both the touches. The finish was the least impressive.Are people really going wild over Messi's goal against Nigeria?
I mean nice touch and finish but yeah. That's about it.
What's impressive about it is so many separate parts, pass run touch finish, were absolutely perfect. That earns a certain weight when comparing against one amazing moment/act, a great strike.Are people really going wild over Messi's goal against Nigeria?

It's no where near best goal of the tournament though.In it's entirety, it was very good. From Banega's pass to both the touches. The finish was the least impressive.
It's a good goal no doubt but people getting excited as it's Messi IMO.What's impressive about it is so many separate parts, pass run touch finish, were absolutely perfect. That earns a certain weight when comparing against one amazing moment/act, a great strike.
EDIT: the finish was probably not "perfect" but it went in the goal so...
Yeah probably not. There's definitely a bit of overrating. Goals like that barely ever win best goal of the tournament.It's no where near best goal of the tournament though.
I mean someone is trying to compare it to Bergkamps!
Perhaps! Doesn't the moment get factored in to a goal's greatness quite often thoughIt's a good goal no doubt but people getting excited as it's Messi IMO.
It's very, very hard to bring the ball down like that while running; it's coming from his back and when he's taking the touch he's changing direction. The fact that this touch was so good that he's able to take a second touch is the icing on the cake.Are people really going wild over Messi's goal against Nigeria?
