I thought this FK deserved its own thread

The context of the goal is big too, relegation battle between Nantes and Lorient

For the love of everything that is holy!

How have I not seen this before?

 

[Hughes35]

Great strike. Got to look at the keeper there though.

 

[Redlyn]

Top strike. Memories of Ronaldo Vs Porto, distance wise, since this one was more lofted.

Yeah, he probably took it for granted that it was going over.

 

[horsechoker]

I used to do that all time.

....were you the keeper?

 

[Physiocrat]

[horsechoker]

....were you the keeper?

No I was the water boy

 

[charlenefan]

What is the keeper doing there? Completely lost the flight of it and didn't even really dive, just fell down

 

[T00lsh3d]

No I was the water boy

I’m sure you were appreciated. A bit. When the better waterboys weren’t around

 

[UnofficialDevil]

Seemed really slow and and easy to save. Nothing on Ronaldos wonder goal

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Shit goalkeeping.

 

[Lay]

The audacity to even try it

 

[Rooney in Paris]

I'm more shocked by the fact a guy called Lauriente is playing for Lorient. Whatever next.

Link doesn't work for me.

Arsene managing Arsenal. I thought the club was named after him or something when I first discovered footy/the PL.

When ManCini managed ManCity?

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

The stones on him to take it on. The keeper will be devastated.

 

[Tiber]

....were you the keeper?

Like when Mike Bassett bought a striker based on a highlight video and it turned out he signed the keeper from all the clips. Great show

 

[Poborsky's hair]

The ball trajectories are wicked post 2010

 

[Gary_Walsh_Nou_Camp_Hell]

Worst goalkeeping i've seen in a while. Could have just stayed on his feet and caught that!

 

[Maagge]

David Luiz free kick from a billion miles away in a relegation battle while being called the same as your club. What a man!

 

[Aidan Azar]

Wolfsburg were once managed by Wolfgang Wolf.

 

[Eendracht maakt macht]

Wolfsburg were once managed by Wolfgang Wolf.

John de Wolf played for Wolverhampton but yours is better.

 

[Withnail]

Arsene managing Arsenal

The dip on the ball was outrageous.

 

[Dve]

Not sure I´ve ever seen a strike like that. He is basically just placing it from that distance.

 

[Bondi77]

....were you the keeper?

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Beautifully done.

 

[Counterfactual]

Wow. It was so far out I thought it was Sexton or Farrell taking it.

Not really needed, but bonus points are awarded for the goalkeeper nutting the post.

Almost fitting it happened in Ligue Un, Juninho would be proud.

Still not getting the appreciation

Have you never seen a Juninho youtube compilation?!

 

[TsuWave]

When ManCini managed ManCity?

Arsene used to manage Arsenal

 

[calodo2003]

That swerve looked like one from a Jabulani ball.

 

[SadlerMUFC]

Lots of dip and move but as pretty as that shot is, the keeper still needs to save that. The keeper is poor right from the get go. You can tell by how the player is lining up that he's taking a shot. so the keeper is too far out. Cut the angle when there is an angle to take away. From where that free kick is, the keeper has to back up two steps. If he is going to cross then his positioning is good. And then after it's kicked the keeper just takes way too long to react. He could have walked to the corner it was going and easily made the save. The keeper made the goal look better than it was...
