Who has the best overhead kick technique based on these pictures?
Rooney's overhead kick is so overrated, deflected cross and it came off his shin. I'd say Berbatov's vs Liverpool was better.
You've got to understand that it hurts some people to give Rooney praise.
Really? Berbatovs vs Liverpool was more a backwards falling volley had nothing on Rooneys vs City.
Add to the fact, the opposition, the fact they were challenging for the title. The time of the goal, the pace on the "deflected cross" and the fact he had the belief to try it. I remember shouting "feck sake Rooney wise up!" as i saw him going for it.
For me, one of the greatest we will see.
As the thread is about consistency in technique...Dwight Yorke for me seemed to have a knack at them. Huntelaar and Ibrahimovic are a dab hand too
I'll give anyone credit where its due but if theres pace on a ball and you can time it to perfection and stick it in the top corner vs world class opposition in a pressure cooker of a game then you deserve a lot more credit than a deflected cross and a shin deflection!!!You've got to understand that it hurts some people to give Rooney praise.
I suppose Berbatov's wasn't an overhead kick as such so you can't really compare it to Rooney's but for me it was a better goal. It was further out, his first touch to control on his knee and then right in the top corner, such an underrated goal in my opinion.

We still talking about Berbatov's goal vs Liverpool?I'll give anyone credit where its due but if theres pace on a ball and you can time it to perfection and stick it in the top corner vs world class opposition in a pressure cooker of a game then you deserve a lot more credit than a deflected cross and a shin deflection!!!
The video with the Arabic commentary is so much better.I saw this one live. Ronaldinho at his best
It was a good finish and i did go bonkers when it went in. I think its because his foot was planted as he connected which takes it out of that category.I suppose Berbatov's wasn't an overhead kick as such so you can't really compare it to Rooney's but for me it was a better goal. It was further out, his first touch to control on his knee and then right in the top corner, such an underrated goal in my opinion.
In that particular instance i was talking about Rooney.We still talking about Berbatov's goal vs Liverpool?
This. Was scrolling down and had to wait until this post to even see his name. It was his trademark.No mention of Rivaldo? For shame.
City were not title challengers at the time.

Its all about the overhead clearance for me. The official logo for the 'society of I don't give a feck' is an overhead clearance.
