Comments on: Amazing Soccer Goal http://www.neatorama.com/2007/05/14/amazing-soccer-goal/ The Neat Side of the Web Tue, 24 Nov 2009 03:33:45 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Miranda Vink http://www.neatorama.com/2007/05/14/amazing-soccer-goal/comment-page-1/#comment-111183 Miranda Vink Wed, 16 May 2007 20:05:08 +0000 http://www.neatorama.com/2007/05/14/amazing-soccer-goal/#comment-111183 My favorite goal ever was made by Dennis Bergkamp in a World Cup match between Holland and Argentina. The beauty of the goal was the passing: the pass came from the opposite side of the field, in a single fluent movement Bergkamp picked it up and scored the winning goal with only minute of play time. The pass was incredibly long yet precise and the finish was even more impressive. No wonder the Dutch commentator goes completely (and I mean _COMPLETELY_) out of his mind. Great goal and very funny to hear too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqEWpHuib9A My favorite goal ever was made by Dennis Bergkamp in a World Cup match between Holland and Argentina.

He kicked the ball, it went in. Isn't that what he's paid to do? Now I see why the Simpsons make fun of soccer as a dull sport if that's a "great goal". I don't get it, either.

Maybe "Direct Kick" is the right term in English? He then adds that he has never seen Maradona score a goal with this type of kick.
