The second to last one was Tim Howard. One of the greatest American keepers ever. Played for Everton and Manchester United in the EPL
Kevin Durant could do better imo😂😂😂😂
One of the greatest? Who else?
These are great examples of why it’s called “the beautiful game” Thanx🤓
And there are still so many legendary long shots missing. The Roberto Carlos goal, the other Roberto Carlos goal, Kompany vs Leicester, Ibra vs England, ...
I love that you love the beautiful game. I think America will embrace football one day, and the world will tremble
By a shear coincidence there was an article on the BBC sport web site a few days ago writing about the demise of "The Screamer." This a nickname here in the UK for the kind of goal you are featuring in your video. Apparently, the majority of goals scored in the English professional leagues currently, are from close range which is a disappointing statistic if it's true. There have always been goal "poachers" in the game. Strikers who specialise being in the right place at the right time to score goals from close range. However, that type of goal will always be an important part of the game, but for me the "screamer," hitting the top corner of the net from thirty five yards out, will always be the most exciting part of any match. Some people claim that the lack of long range shots is down to retaining possession of the ball at all costs, as a team advances on the opponents goal. Possibly, who knows, hopefully there are still a few coaches left who will encourage their strikers to "have a go," if the opportunity presents itself.
If you like screamers, you should take a look at compilations from the Brazilian leagues. Our players will shoot from anywhere! 😆
Upper 90 free kicks with zero spin so they dance in the air 🤌🤌🤌
As an old fart I will say that one of the reasons for so many 'recent' goals here - apart from the fact that every game now is filmed from 20 different angles - is that the technology has improved so much over time. Better boots, lighter footballs which are basically designed to fly, and of course the players are fitter, stronger and better trained than ever before.
Great selection of goals here, but the video could easily have been 2 hours long. I especially love seeing amazing goals like these from the lower leagues where you might not expect that kind of quality.
There are lots of older long shot goals too. It’s just recency bias by the compiler of the video.
@@patinho5589 You're quite right, but nobody was bending / dipping a free kick 23° around a wall in 1950 when the ball was like a sack of potatoes and so were the boots. I say that as someone whose Al Bundy moment was scoring direct from a corner against our rival school team in ~1978. The fact that the goalkeeper was about 4'6" had nothing to do with it.
Side note - once I learned how to curl a ball, I somehow completely lost forever the ability to kick a ball straight again.
As a goalkeeper, nothing you can do against these balloons of today. That's why you don't see many keepers diving to a corner to catch the ball, as I the past. They should also make a compaction of shots ending up at the parking lot. Just to show anything can happen. Myself, I love to see the hard low shot, floating just above the grass. You just know when you're too late to dive, that's when you see the frozen stand.
I've never understood why it's called a touchdown in American Football, because you don't have to touch it down
Back in the late 1800's/early 1900's, very few Americans had even heard of European Football. The first time we became aware of it on a large scale was when a bunch of us went over to Europe in WW1.
American Football was already a thing by then so we called it by the slang term The British used for it at the time, "Soccer," to avoid confusion.
If you like you could learn about the split of Rugby and Association Football in the early to mid 1800´s in Britain. It explains why the Americans call their game football. But you´re right. It confuses less when you call it soccer. Even if you don´t play the game with the feet. Sorry for my bad english.
It existed. Some teams in Pennsylvania still around today can trace their roots back to then.
Is anyone else mesmerised by that thing in the background 😂
They should have included George Best's goal against England, when he kicked the ball over the goalie's head. The goal was legitimate, but the referee disallowed it.
Pele called George Best the best football player in the world. There's a video here of him dribbling the ball expertly.
Matter of fact, that's something you should watch, if you have time: amazing dribbling skills in football.
I saw both of them play live. Sadly, neither in their prime, but still great memories.
Pele in the US when he was with the Cosmos.
George Best in England, later in his career when he was with Fulham.
Actually the name Soccer came from the English themselves - the inventors of the game:
The game was originally called football, coz you played the ball with your foot. Then, in the town of rugby, someone got frustrated and picked up the ball and ran with it and this new variation of the game stuck. It eventually became known as “Rugby football” but at first they just called it football too.
Because of that, to avoid the confusion, the creators of the original football decided to differentiate it from the one played in rugby so they created an association to lay down the rules of the game; which is why it was renamed “association football”. This was slanged to “assoc”, then slanged again to “soccer”.
Meanwhile, “rugby” football became known as just “rugby”, so soccer slowly got its original football name back. But not before a whole bunch of English immigrants went to the US, where they were still calling it soccer.
It’s also the reason why American football is called football:
Those English immigrants to the US were still calling rugby, “rugby football”. And as the game slowly evolved from rugby to what it is now, it no longer needed to be called “rugby” football - just football.
Blame the English for everything! 😂
I think "soccer" came back to the UK via the French. It was an English university thing: they liked to play with words so that rugby football became "rugger" and association football became "soccer" (and later "footy").
Both games were football though.
So yeah - American Football, or "Gridiron", is a variation of Rugby Football.
@@Paulorr3 soccer is just short for association football. If youre not playing for an association like a club then youre just playing football. Calling the whole sport soccer is silly, like calling american football just 'nfl'
I'm English and this is by far the worst thing we've ever done.
No, you played football ON FOOT, as opposed to horseback.
Had Madden on the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis in the US) when I lived in the UK, only one of us had a clue about American Football and he'd consistently whoop our arse. It's just how it goes bud
Surprised they missed Beckhams shot from wide on the right in his own half
The guy in pink near the end was the goalie too
Zach Thornton, goalie, won the distance competition at the soccer all star games more than once. When asked about it, he said he had a "big butt" and that made all the difference. Think that las Tim Howard goal.
The goal at 7.15 was in Brazil. I don't there was an English commentator in the original soundtrack. Who created the video probably replaced the Brazilian commentator by that English commentary
Also, I think Pat Jennings was the first goalie to ever score a goal in an international match.
u know the guy in the pink was the other team's goalie that made that shot towards the end- not sure you noticed
Polo, try and find the short with Ian Wright, the soccer player, when he meets his former teacher, who he thought was dead. It's touching. Cheers.
Its easier nowadays with a modern football, it also curves a lot more, back in the 70's the ball was heavier and less air dynamic and the pitches in the UK were sometimes like mud if it had been raining. Prior to that was the lace up ball. If it got wet it was like a medicine ball. Heading the damned thing was like getting a punch on your head.
Americans shouldn't feel the need to apologise for the word 'soccer', because it's an old English term.
And it's called 'American Football' because of the roots in old English games - soccer was called 'association football', rugby was 'rugby football' etc. The name 'football' isn't because it's a game kicked with the foot, but because it's a game played on foot! As opposed to on horses, or something.
So American football is perfectly fine! As an Englishman it kind of bothers me that so many of my countreymen give Americans stick for using 'soccer', when it's an English word, and for using 'American Football' when that game is just an Americanized version of old English games 👍
the best soccer goaler and most amazing saves are by far SCOTT STERLING, the man , the myth, the LEGEND. check out the youtube video of Scott Sterling soccer goalie.
I was at the game where the one shot that went across the floor was scored, and my seat is right behind the shot. It was a goal as soon as it left Thiago's boot. I still don't understand how it accelerated *after* bouncing, though.
Zlatan's goal, and belaili goal agains morroco
We Americans sadly, have a miopic view of the world…. World Series!? Hm hm cough cough!
Most goalkeepers accept they can't save worldies.
Fyi, back then they called all sports football that you play ON foot, as opposed to horseback.
I'm a brit I love American football huge bears fan the reason it's called football in America is because the ball is a foot long
I don’t think that’s true, although the measurements used to be that. They play on foot, and also, it’s an evolution of what was called “rugby football” back in the day. Could just be they dropped the word rugby.
@@Scoobay it is
Imperial measurements are all derived from metric conversions these days.
Referring to your opening comments.
The term football is not the name of any one sport but a sports category.
It means a ball game played on foot instead of being played on horseback. NFL football is correctly known as football in the US as it's the most popular form of football in the US.
The same with Australian rules football in Australia and the same with soccer football in the UK.
Rugby football is known as rugby in the UK as it's the second most popular form of football in the UK.
No one sport has ownership of the name football.
The name has nothing to do with how much the ball is kicked by a player's foot.
3-0 Barca 1st leg, 4-0 Liverpool 2nd leg. Barca were never the same after that, including Messi hahaha
Most glorious night at Anfield. I could watch the highlights of that match endlessly. Corner taken quickly… ❤
World football is actually played by foot..
American football, the ball is a foot long
Woop woop algorithm +1 🎉
Great!
Forget distance, just do a video of greatest shots. You’ll be amazed.
Jhon Duran (yes, that's the correct spelling) hit a goal for Aston Villa against Everton with weekend that will be on future compilations like this.
A 32 yard blast that curled away from the goalkeeper into the top corner. It was much prettier than Bellingham's goal in this video.
POLO should react to a Juninho free kick compilation. He's truly the greatest free kick taker of all time. His mastery of every technique is amazing.
I saw that Duran goal, best one of the season so far, just beautiful. He is a player!
I'm a Toffee and our players being on the same pitch when that happened is the best thing we've done this season.
@@16ozClawHammer I hope Everton starts getting some better results. I don't want them relegated.
@@MrVvulf Thank you, mate. Though the prognosis is not good. I'd rather not think about it. Agree with you on the Juninho (Pernambucano) front. Incredible free kick taker and vastly underrated. 'Our' Juninho was Paulista, the little fella. Middlesbrough stalwart and exceptional in his own right. Both amazing players.
Of course the villa fan picks the Bellingham goal out of all of them to put down 😂 one was in the El Classico and one was against Everton.
Sorry to sound pedantic, but your "metric system" is really the British "imperial system", with a couple of tweaks. You call it the "standard system" - ironic because it is not standard anywhere except the USA, I think.
One of the changes is that your pints are smaller, and therefore your gallons are smaller. So don't get confused when compared fuel efficiency (miles per gallon) with other countries.
Another change is that you do not use 'stone' weight. There are 16 ounxes in a pound, and 14 pounds in a stone.
So 140 pounds is ten stone. 196 pounds is 14 stone etc ..
No Charlie Adams goal😢
Soccer is a n English word, public (that means private schools to any American confused) schoolboys came up with . And if you prefer using that word then no problem. And if any Brit starts getting all twisted tell them to shut up, and carry on as you prefer. Americans used it so as to not cause any confusion with their own brand of football. So to any Brit out there getting upset because an American used the word soccer grow up and get a life.
In England they refered to association football as soccer. So, when a Brit starts whinging about Americans calling it soccer just tell them they coined the word.
